CALIFORNIA ESTATE THAT WON 2020 WORLDWIDE OLIVE OIL AWARD LISTED FOR $7.5M

The property dates back to 1911, when the original residence was built for Mortimer Fleishhacker, the founder of Anglo California Bank and the Great Western Power Company. That main residence is a 10,000-square-foot home inspired by English country homes. It still features some of the original hand-carved furniture made by the architects Charles Sumner Greene and Henry Mather Greene.

One of the homes was designed by noteworthy architect William Wurster in the 1930s. One home has three bedrooms that were designed by Elsie de Wolfe, whose clients also include Amy Vanderbilt and the Duke and Duchess of Windsor.
