The house located in Hillsborough is a part of a 47-acre property. The 16,000 square foot home has 9 bedrooms and 9.5 bathrooms. The house also boasts an outdoor pool, banquet dining room, a ballroom, gorgeous kitchen, and wonderful views. Additionally, it provides access to myriad canyons and hiking trails. Musk purchased this home for $23.4 million in 2017. He had put it out for sale but, withdrew the ad for a while.
He took to Twitter on June 9 to announce that he had sold all of his houses, save for one in Bay Area. Later, he added that he decided to sell the last one because it’s a special place that needs to go to a large family. However, he indicated that he did not live there at present. He added that the property was rented out for events.
