Built in 1975, this iconic estate is exceptionally well-maintained with significant exterior updates like paid-off solar and a new metal roof. However, the interior, particularly the dual kitchens and bathrooms, retains much of its original mid-century modern and hacienda style. While functional and clean, features such as the dark wood cabinetry, mirrored kitchen backsplashes, older appliances (excluding the large stainless fridge), terracotta flooring, and some bathroom fixtures appear largely original or from an older renovation (20-30+ years ago), showing signs of being outdated rather than recently modernized. The property is move-in ready but would require substantial cosmetic updates to align with current luxury design trends.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 191228, living area = 11984.
Originally California's Governor's Mansion for Ronald Reagan, featuring unique historical artifacts like a John Wayne-gifted bar and custom state dining table, offering unparalleled pedigree.
Iconic 4.39-acre riverfront property with breathtaking views of the American River, ensuring privacy and a resort-like setting.
The $7.5 million asking price targets an extremely niche market, potentially leading to a longer sales cycle.
Built in 1975, while well-maintained and updated in some areas (solar, roof), other core systems (e.g., HVAC, plumbing, electrical) may be original or require significant investment to meet modern efficiency standards.
The distinct mid-century modern and hacienda architectural blend, while unique, may not appeal to all ultra-luxury buyers, potentially narrowing the pool of interested parties.
