From Los Angeles’ contemporary stunners to Hollywood Hill’s largest home ever built, impressive properties are constantly coming and going on the market. Now, a luxurious mansion in Silicon Valley is up for sale, owned by tech billionaire Scott McNealy and seeking $53.88 million.

For more intimate and laid back entertaining experiences, the home features a wine cellar, poker room, event space, billiards room, and movie theater.

“We wanted to create the ideal home to support the growth and development of our family athletically, musically, academically and socially. We treasure the time we spent in pursuit of all of their interests, and sharing our home with our friends, classmates, extended family and business associates. As newly minted empty nesters, we take pride in knowing that the next owners will enjoy similar experiences while we move into the next stage of our family’s life with a new home closer to our son as he pursues a career on the PGA Tour,” stated McNealy, on the family’s decision to part ways with the estate.

Samira Amid-Hozour of Compass and Deepee Chattha of REX are co-listing the property. Mansion Global first reported on McNealy’s listing.
