Property Description

Welcome to La Casa De Los Gobernadores, an iconic 6.5 acre riverfront estate originally designed in 1975 as California's official Governor's Mansion. A legacy of California modernism with this architectural estate designed by renowned mid-century visionaries Buff & Hensman, a once in a lifetime opportunity. Set behind dual gates overlooking the American River, this single-level residence blends mid-century modern architecture with hacienda-style warmth and unmatched privacy. Nearly 12,000 sq ft of living space includes 8 bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, dual kitchens, and expansive indoor-outdoor entertaining wings with a newly resurfaced pool, outdoor kitchen, putting green, and 4-car garage. Historic provenance elevates the estate beyond traditional luxury: the grand formal dining room still holds the custom 14-seat dining table commissioned for state hosting; a rare John Wayne-gifted bar remains intact with its Hollywood bullet mark; a time capsule set to be opened July 4, 2076 tying past, present, and future together in a way no modern build can replicate. Paid-off solar, a brand new standing-seam metal roof, and breathtaking river views complete this remarkable property a legacy residence offering resort-style seclusion, architectural pedigree, and one of Sacramento County's most significant addresses. Homes of this caliber are rarely built, and almost never released to the public.
