About This Home
Welcome to La Casa De Los Gobernadores, an iconic riverfront estate originally designed in 1975 as California's official Governor's Mansion. Set behind dual gates on 6.5 acres, 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.
