In the affluent town of Hillsborough, California, a $70 million estate sale has shattered the previous record for the highest home sale in Northern California in 2026. The 12-acre property, located approximately 20 miles from San Francisco, boasts six bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, and several luxurious amenities. The estate's sale marks a significant increase from the prior record of $35 million, which was set in 2022.
The buyer, who works in the artificial intelligence industry, acquired the property after it was listed for $88 million before settling at its final price. The home's development spanned six years and involved 110 subcontractors. Aside from its main residence, the estate includes a sports pavilion, an amphitheater, a swimming pool, and a reflecting pond, with gardens inspired by Lake Como in Italy.
The buyer's interest in the property was partly influenced by its strategic location, offering proximity to San Francisco, San Francisco International Airport, and Silicon Valley.
