California Governor Gavin Newsom and his wife Jennifer Siebel Newsom have listed their sprawling Fair Oaks estate for $7.5 million.
The couple, who purchased a $9 million home in Marin County in 2024, put the 12,000-square-foot property on the market Tuesday, according to its Zillow listing. The secluded home at 7640 Tobia Way sits on 8 acres in an exclusive Northern California gated community.
The 7-bedroom, 12-bath estate “offers an unparalleled combination of grandeur, comfort, and effortless entertaining, with a resort-style pool, full-size tennis court, private casita, and impressive 5,000-bottle wine cellar,” according to its listing.
Its primary bathroom is “a destination unto itself,” the listing continues, offering a “spa-like experience” that extends into an outdoor “resort-style” private pool, cold plunge, and hot tub akin to “a personal wellness oasis just steps from the primary suite.”
Other amenities include a wet bar, four fireplaces, a weight room, many varieties of trees on the “meticulously landscaped” lush grounds and sweeping views thanks to its position on a bluff near the American River.
The Newsoms snagged the Fair Oaks residence in 2018 for $3.7 million through an LLC tied to Newsom’s cousin Jeremy Scherer, who worked for the governor’s PlumpJack hospitality firm. The current asking price represents double what the couple paid eight years ago.
The property has been used largely for events, including a Christmas party that reportedly irritated neighbors in the exclusive community.
The couple’s finances came under scrutiny this year after the governor revealed that his family and associates were under investigation by federal law enforcement, which Newsom described as a political hit job. The probes are reportedly examining Siebel Newsom’s taxes and other potential issues surrounding the governor, who is termed out at the end of this year and widely expected to run for president in 2028.
The Newsoms earned between $1.7 million and $2 million annually between 2022 and 2024, according to tax returns released last month. That largely reflected income from the governor’s wine businesses combined with his roughly $200,000 government salary and his wife’s nonprofit income.
Newsom, 57, has served as California’s governor since 2019 and previously held office as San Francisco mayor and lieutenant governor. Siebel Newsom, 50, is a documentary filmmaker and actress who has focused her work on gender representation in media.
The Marin County purchase in 2024 signaled a shift for the family even before the Fair Oaks listing, positioning them closer to the San Francisco Bay Area where Newsom built his political and business career.
The governor’s wine businesses have long been a cornerstone of his personal wealth, separate from his government salary. His PlumpJack Group, founded in the early 1990s, grew from a single wine shop into a hospitality empire encompassing wineries, restaurants, and hotels.
Newsom placed his business interests into a blind trust upon taking office, though his financial disclosures have continued to draw attention given the scale of his holdings relative to typical elected officials.
The federal investigations surrounding the family remain ongoing, with no charges filed to date.
