For more information about bidding, visit the FAQ section under the Buyers tab.After a number of years of entertaining family and friends with lavish camping trips at his 250,000-acre getaway property, in 1919 William Randolph Hearst said to famed architect Julia Morgan, “Miss Morgan, we are tired of camping out in the open at the ranch in San Simeon and I would like to build a little something.â€
Well, that “little something,†which took approximately 30 years to complete, turned out to be Hearst Castle, also known as La Cuesta Encantada (“The Enchanted Hillâ€). The estate includes the Mediterranean Revival-style 115-room main house and three guest houses with a total of 165 rooms, as well as an older Victorian house screened from the current tourist routes by a dense grove of eucalyptus. The property overlooks extensive ranchlands and the rugged Pacific coastline and contains 127 acres of spectacular gardens, terraces, pools and walkways.
Now you can own a piece of history. Monastery ceilings, European art, Byzantine tapestries, and antiques from all over the globe can be found throughout the property. Hearst’s guests - the crème de la crème of show business, politics, the literary world and other celebrities – were regaled with extravagant parties, fine food and exciting diversions. Memories of those splendid times echo throughout the halls as well as the countryside where descendants of Hearst's private zoo inhabitants still roam the hills of the estate.
The estate is comprised of 90,080 square feet and contains a total of 56 bedrooms, 61 bathrooms, 19 sitting rooms, a private cinema and 41 fireplaces. Its underlying structure is primarily steel reinforced concrete. In addition to these buildings, a Victorian house that was used as a retreat by the Hearst family is included.
This one-of-a-kind property is perfect for entertaining on a grand scale or just for getting away from it all. The 250,000-acre property includes the furnishings and artwork, and everything is yours to enjoy if you are the successful bidder.
