"One of the Bay Area's grandest estates has changed hands for the first time in its 114-year history. The sprawling 74-acre Woodside property known as Green Gables sold on Sept. 3 to an undisclosed buyer for an astounding $85 million. It was listed for $135 million in 2021, and again in 2024 for $110 million. Despite the price cut, Green Gables has shattered local property records. It's the most expensive property sale in the Bay Area so far this year, by more than $30 million."
"Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Green Gables boasts more than most minds can imagine. It includes seven buildings, 34 bedrooms, 26 bathrooms, multiple pools - including a football field-sized Roman swimming pool - a tennis court, equestrian barns, a dairy, and fairytale gardens throughout. The property was designed by one of the architectural firms that pioneered the Arts and Crafts movement, Greene and Greene, for Mortimer Fleishhacker Sr."

The property includes seven buildings, 34 bedrooms, 26 bathrooms, multiple pools—including a football field-sized Roman swimming pool—a tennis court, equestrian barns, a dairy, and extensive gardens. The estate was designed by Greene and Greene for Mortimer Fleishhacker Sr.; William Wurster later designed a six-bedroom home around a courtyard garden for Eleanor Fleishhacker Sloss. Landscape architect Thomas Church added a pool house and cabana in the 1950s. Elizabeth Holmes resided on the grounds during her criminal trial.
