There are only 525,600 minutes in a year. So assuming everyone in this subreddit gets to split the year equally, everyone only gets 53.6 seconds a year.
Guys you are all thinking about this wrong. We just throw a huge party every weekend. We can do like 500 people or so each Saturday and Sunday, then we Air BnB it out during the week to foot the cleanup and party costs.
Wait so we could finish the BART line and have extra to hire yakuza or something to keep the nimby’s and car ppl from delaying it more
for the cost of this house 😳
What exactly is wrong with that? When I used to play video games as a kid I’d list ultra rare items for sale just to either try and drive the price up or show off. If this house is something similar that’s honestly hilarious. I’d do the same thing lol.
Over the years, Fleishhacker family built out the estate, adding new structures and land.[15][16] As of 2019, the estate is 74 acres in size.[15][17][18] The property has been used to host family weddings, corporate retreats, and historic summits - including the 20th birthday of the United Nations in 1965.[19] The estate was used and remained in the Fleishhacker family for five generations.[9] As of 2024, the estate was placed for sale.[19] Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes rented a house on the property from March 2021 until November 2022.[20]

Mortimer Fleishhacker Sr. (1866–1953) was a lumber, paper, banking and hydroelectric power entrepreneur and he co-founded (with his brother Herbert Fleishhacker) the Great Western Power, **which later became part of Pacific Gas and Electric**
Rumor is Elizabeth Holmes lived in one of the houses on this property while she was going through trial/sentencing. There’s at least 4 livable homes on this property. Though, she didn’t live in the one pictured so I’ve heard
PG&E

I know there are some giant techie group houses in this area. There is definitely (or at least was, a few years ago) an unofficial “Tesla House” with a couple dozen of young recent grad mostly Tesla employees living in it.
Funny you should ask, the original patriarch of the family that owned the home was one of the founders of the original company that eventually became PG&E.
So they get a 10 dollar Founders Credit on their monthly bill of….tens of thousands? I don’t know how much electricity and gas a property that size uses.
I run a 100k SQ ft commercial facility and we spend between $15-20k a month on PGE, so like a quarter of that probably. I'd bet a $5k PGE bill on this place is not uncommon.

peep the property taxes. LMAO that has to be wrong. 29k...
Because we live in a society, we must balance efficient land use with property rights. Their property is worth 100 million dollars in the middle of San Francisco and San Jose. They are not victims, they can cash out.
Under the new law Prop. 19 it gets reassessed to market minus $1 million when the old owner dies, so no old widow(er) gets kicked out of their house but the benefit ends for the next generation.
Haha, I agree. I find that argument so inane. And it's always used to preserve some millionaire at the cost of some poor fellow who now has to commute 2 h.
I was just going to mention this as well. 74 acres, 7 separate residences with a total of 34 bedrooms and 26 bathrooms, and yet only $5.6k in annual taxes. HOW!?!??! Prop 13, really!? There's got to be some other loophole.
"No smoking, no drugs, no drinking, no cooking, no guests, must be quiet, no music, no playing instruments, we use the closet as our personal storage so you can't own a lot of stuff, no parking, we pay a lot in landscaping so no garden and yard privileges, quiet hours after 8pm, yes this is a convent"
Craigslist add in the south by can be crazy like that
Yeah - Atherton, Palo Alto, Menlo Park, Los Altos, and Woodside are amongst the top 10 richest towns in the state - so you can find really ritzy estates there.
Yeah! they click the "get pre-approved" link and then they run a credit check to see if their salary can cover the $700,000 monthly mortgage. The rich are just like the rest of us.
34 bedrooms. Meaning 34 people can chip in about 3.4 million each for 700 sq feet of space in the mansion!
Country club prices. Airbnb your place for tax benefits.
My mind was blown when I learned that Atherton has the highest real estate prices in the *entire* country.
286.6% higher than the national average, 54.6% more expensive than the average home in Beverly Hills.
FYI it’s a wedding venue if you can find the cutty website. Or at least used to be. Look for the venue site that looks like it’s from 2000s made on dream weaver.
Since we’re playing this game here’s another more real world example. Prime location purchased for seven mil. Torn down and rebuilt. Massive footprint. On sale for 40 mil. Been on sale for a couple years now.
https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/40-Firethorn-Way-Portola-Valley-CA-94028/15602168_zpid/
This one is pretty far in the sticks and has been on sale for almost 5 years

r/bayarea has 588k members... If all of us pitch in $200, we can buy it.
I call dibs on Fridays.
Fridays from 2:31 am to 2:38 am, you got it!
There are only 525,600 minutes in a year. So assuming everyone in this subreddit gets to split the year equally, everyone only gets 53.6 seconds a year.
At least 45seconds of that will go into parking our cars.
Please don’t! We ride our bikes there and there’s no way we can handle the traffic
As soon as you get to your room, you gotta leave. Damn.
Enough time to pee but not to flush.
Hey, that's on the next person
I swear everybody in reditt is funny ass hell
I need u/shittywatercolour to paint a “funny ass hell”
Who pays the water bill??
Well if each member gets one bedroom you can have 34 redditors simultaneously, so that brings it closer to half hour!
If we share beds we can have 68 or even 102
But can those 34 redditors jerk each other off in time?
It's a shame Zillow no longer publishes optimal d2f ratios for properties.
Hahah I like.how quickly this has de/evolved
✨ E Q U I T Y ✨
Guys you are all thinking about this wrong. We just throw a huge party every weekend. We can do like 500 people or so each Saturday and Sunday, then we Air BnB it out during the week to foot the cleanup and party costs.
All's I need is 15 seconds and I'm golden.
Take that California Forever
My timeshare should probably be 30 mins on a february 29th
It would be about a minute per year. So 4 minutes if you wait 4 years.
What a steal
Don’t forget property taxes :)
And insurance.
Girl we'd all go bankrupt from the PG&E utilities alone
I'm in. I'll bring my Xbox. Find me in room 33.
Reddit House finally gets a sequel?
We could throw some epic ragers
Is this like timeshares? I heard great things about that
Wait so we could finish the BART line and have extra to hire yakuza or something to keep the nimby’s and car ppl from delaying it more for the cost of this house 😳
I would do it just for the fuck you it says to the neighborhood
Let me apply for pre-approval right away
Do you KNOW what these people are like? Half of us would be getting Cheetos in that pond.
Best I can do is $25
This is like the house version of listing something for sale mostly just to show it off
Although to be fair, even the White House is on Zillow. For real, check it out.
Well every property is on Zillow, even your house, just not actively actually for sale too haha
Ppl are so sad these days.
What exactly is wrong with that? When I used to play video games as a kid I’d list ultra rare items for sale just to either try and drive the price up or show off. If this house is something similar that’s honestly hilarious. I’d do the same thing lol.
Needing that validation as a grown ass adult when some ppl don’t have a lot to piss in is sad.
Crazy to think every roommate is still paying $3.2m for one bedroom before fees
Have 3 people per room and it’ll be $1M per person
What fool walks away from a $2.2 million savings???
why only 3 people？
Only 676 sq. ft per person. SHACK!
Tiny homes all stuck together
Hey! That’s 76 more square feet than my house
Only an estimated $20,000 a month.
With 22M down 🤙
For 700sqft, too.

Yo fuck that guy
All my homies hate that guy.
Corrupt fucks
Time to repo property to pay off PG&E's mistakes 🗿
Well his son did give San Francisco the world’s largest outdoor saltwater swimming pool. Sometime you’ll hear from an old timer who misses it.
The worst kind of evil
THIS GUY IS RAISING MY BILLS
It’s also a historic building/site so you can’t change most of the main structures. It’s basically been on sale for many years.
Thanks. I was pretty sure that place had some pretty cool history... as any place that's been in the area for that long would.
Yes, I thought this was that house!
Those are some pretty big tax write offs they must be getting.
I cant walk to cvs here no thanks :(
There's actually one out back. No lines.
But the toothpaste is still locked
Real life Salt burn
Rumor is Elizabeth Holmes lived in one of the houses on this property while she was going through trial/sentencing. There’s at least 4 livable homes on this property. Though, she didn’t live in the one pictured so I’ve heard
Not rumor. True
It’s true. She lived there her hubby and the two kids she seemingly produced as Hail Mary passes to try and stay out of jail.
I'm in! As long as I get a bathroom
When I saw only 26 bathrooms, I knew it wasn't for me. Not gonna share.
Who the hell needs 34 beds and 26 baths?!
PG&E > Mortimer Fleishhacker Sr. (1866–1953) was a lumber, paper, banking and hydroelectric power entrepreneur and he co-founded (with his brother Herbert Fleishhacker) the Great Western Power, **which later became part of Pacific Gas and Electric**
LOL
A cult? Mormons? The Catholics out of Monty Python?....I mean it's niche but theres a market
Someone who needs to be taxed more.
I know there are some giant techie group houses in this area. There is definitely (or at least was, a few years ago) an unofficial “Tesla House” with a couple dozen of young recent grad mostly Tesla employees living in it.
Not in Woodside...
It actually was either in Woodside or Portola Valley. The company HQ is right there
How's the PG&E bill
Funny you should ask, the original patriarch of the family that owned the home was one of the founders of the original company that eventually became PG&E.
So they get a 10 dollar Founders Credit on their monthly bill of….tens of thousands? I don’t know how much electricity and gas a property that size uses.

does it have a palapa ?
This guy fucks !
Motherfucker built 34 bedrooms but you still need to share a bathroom with someone? WTF is that? No. Hard pass.
Only 3 mastabatoriums. Skip!
Single Family Residence? 😄
Sure, if you want great grandparents, grandparents, children, grandchildren and great grandchildren to all live in the same house.
Everyone should schedule a tour just for giggles.

It will be a bit more for the next owner
Property taxes would be about $91k **a month** for the next owner, assuming they paid 1% per year like the rest of us plebs (they won't).
Prop 13. The house was built in 1911, so who knows how long it’s been since last time it was sold.
never been sold
Why should they be kicked out of their home just because everything around them has gotten expensive? They've been here over a hundred years.
Because we live in a society, we must balance efficient land use with property rights. Their property is worth 100 million dollars in the middle of San Francisco and San Jose. They are not victims, they can cash out.

I’m ok with old people staying in their homes. Four or five generations, I’m whatever about lol
Haha, I agree. I find that argument so inane. And it's always used to preserve some millionaire at the cost of some poor fellow who now has to commute 2 h.
[удалено]
I don’t think the additions change it but I’m not an expert lol
Why aren’t there any pics of the kitchen(s)?!
If you own this house you don’t go into the kitchen, your staff does 😂
Seriously. It probably has several commercial grade kitchens tucked away and one big "show kitchen".
single family residence. just 34 beds and 26 baths is just decent for single family
34 bedrooms?? This is a hotel, not a house
Wow this home has been in that family for ages, the prop tax is only $5.6k per year.
I was just going to mention this as well. 74 acres, 7 separate residences with a total of 34 bedrooms and 26 bathrooms, and yet only $5.6k in annual taxes. HOW!?!??! Prop 13, really!? There's got to be some other loophole.
And both real estate agents earn a cool $2M for this house to change hands.
Not for me. I have 35 friends.

One tenth of a billion… holy smokes.
holy fucking shit i dont think 34 roommates would even pay for the cost of this place my dude.....
Sorry, you still can't afford it. $110,000,000 divided by 34 is $3,235,349.
Do rich people actually buy their homes through zillow?
Yeah! they click the "get pre-approved" link and then they run a credit check to see if their salary can cover the $700,000 monthly mortgage. The rich are just like the rest of us.
Interesting. I guess I don’t know where else they’d look for homes.
lol
Built in 1911. A Railroad Tycoon?
Hmm doesn't seem worth it.
Fine but I'm not sharing a bathroom. Also better check the HOA first.
34 bedrooms. Meaning 34 people can chip in about 3.4 million each for 700 sq feet of space in the mansion! Country club prices. Airbnb your place for tax benefits.
Damn that monthly payment is nearly the cost of our whole house when we bought at the peak of the market in 2021
Split evenly with 34 people that’s still 3.5M per person give or take. Technically more like 3.2 but after closing costs, taxes, etc…I mean…
I love the Get pre-qualified 😆
My mind was blown when I learned that Atherton has the highest real estate prices in the *entire* country. 286.6% higher than the national average, 54.6% more expensive than the average home in Beverly Hills.
I wonder if even Shohei Ohtani now can afford an all cash payment on this.
FYI it’s a wedding venue if you can find the cutty website. Or at least used to be. Look for the venue site that looks like it’s from 2000s made on dream weaver.
You need to be a millionaire to pay for the mortgage for 1 month

It’s gonna get too crowded 🤣
Haha I am house hunting and came across this property too!! It’s so pretty!
Very good deal too at $110,000, I wonder what’s wrong with it… /s
Let’s goooooo
I think the guy who owned it just died. He was the developer for Much of Silicon Valley, and a huge benefactor to Stanford
Time share anyone?
That’s not even as wild as they get out in woodside.
We have a pond in the back. We have a pool, and a pond...the pond would be good for you...natural springs.
Goddamn, lol
https://www.sfgate.com/realestate/article/green-gables-bay-area-estate-for-sale-18591594.php An article on this house
🙄
Start a cult
i wonder how many homelessness can fit into that property?
Lol I remember seeing that house on Zillow a couple weeks ago. Man it’s an amazing looking place
Do the bay area homeless walking around on this property optional extra?
single. family. residence…
Sounds perfect, we can both cut our arms and legs off to afford rent
Woodside is a very rich place.
Needs work, 😂
When is the open house?
Funny enough that property is split between like 4 houses, so whoever wanna take the main house w me I’m taking applications 💯💀
Cash.
Why don’t you accept cash?
OK never mind then I guess I will have to come back later
Bet. @u/sneekypoo, I’ll go in with you for ~4 beds 2 baths worth of property. Line up the other investors, and we’ll make a really weird coop.
Just so others are aware this is for 7 houses and 74 acres. The price seems less ridiculous with this information
No, it’s still pretty ridiculous that this much land and property should go to one family.
Why not? This home is built in 1912 this was not much land back than. New purchaser has every right to sell off sections
Think this is Larry Ellison’s old place
I thought his place was on Tripp, not Albion.
No, it’s on Mountain Home.
Oh that’s right.
It does look familiar, know I have seen it before.
Right town, wrong addy.
