Woodside's historic Green Gables estate is back on the market, and this time, potential buyers have the novel option of purchasing pieces of the 74-acre property instead of the whole. Originally listed for $135 million back in 2021, the entire estate is now being offered at a reduced price of $125 million.
The sellers have carved out separate lots, including the English-style residence and the Roman pool, to attract a broader market for $55 million. Citing the family's change of strategy, Marc Fleishhacker told Biz Journals, "Our family’s desire had always been to sell Green Gables to that one special buyer... However, we recognize that despite the fact that Silicon Valley has many qualified buyers for such an undertaking, managing 74 acres and all that it comprises is no small task."
The stately mansion and surrounding gardens, termed "Main House & Historic Core," are set on 11.69 acres, as detailed in an Instagram post by listing agents Brad and Helen Miller. The price for this portion stands at a substantial $55 million. Marc Fleishhacker expressed, "We are nevertheless delighted that owning an important piece of Green Gables is an opportunity that is now open to a broader market," as per Helen & Brad Miller's Instagram page.
According to KTVU's report, additional lot combinations such as the "Olive Orchard & Estate Manager’s Home," and the "Oak Grove Home," are available for $34.5 million and $22.5 million, respectively, designed to align with the market pricing of exclusive areas in Northern California and Silicon Valley. "The estate was taken off the market while we were completing the process of defining the multiple configurations that are now being offered for the 1st time," Fleishhacker explained, having previously attempted to market the property as a single sale.
