Do you have a cool $39 million burning a hole in your pocket? Well, we've got the mansion for you!

The Bay Area real estate industry has been buzzing with news about how the market for homes above $3 million is exploding, including in the East Bay. But why stop being wowed there, when you can really induce shock and awe by looking at the market for homes in the $10+ million range?

Check out some recent listings we found. And, health advisory: These price tags might make you feel a bit dizzy, especially when you consider that the median home value in the U.S. is $207,600 ...

Fieldhaven Manor
7 Country Oak Lane, Alamo
$39 million

 

This English manor-style compound is reportedly the most expensive home listing in the history of the East Bay. Sitting on nearly 21.5 acres at the base of Mount Diablo, the estate was completed in 2010. Multiple generations could spread out in this 10-bed, 22-bath, 21,582-square-foot property. The best way to see the expansive property might be in the video below. Details include a European stone-lined wine cellar, 14-seat cinema, pool, outdoor kitchen with pizza oven, and a suspension bridge leading up to a whimsical tree house. The owner, David Duffield of Workday and PeopleSoft, is donating the proceeds to Maddie’s Fund, a nonprofit pet shelter he created in the ‘90s. Animal lovers will appreciate the estate’s soundproof aviary with its own prep kitchen, dog park, and paw-washing station. If you can afford a $154,100 monthly mortgage, it can be yours!
