Summary

  • $7.5 million is the asking price for Gavin Newsom’s Fair Oaks mansion, a seven-bedroom, 12-bath home that hit the market Monday ahead of his term ending in January.
  • The 8.2-acre estate includes a tennis court, pool, cold plunge, hot tub and a 5,000-bottle wine cellar, according to the Zillow listing.
  • Newsom and his family moved there in 2019 after briefly living in California’s historic governor’s mansion, but have since split time with Marin County, where his children were enrolled in school in 2024.
  • The sale comes as Newsom openly weighs a 2028 Democratic presidential bid, putting renewed attention on a property that also drew notice during a 2020 prison-deaths protest and a 2024 Tim Walz fundraiser.
