In 1920, Mrs. Celia Tobin Clark, heiress to the Hibernia bank fortune, commissioned the construction of this elegant estate. Being known for her distinct fast, there was extra care taken to get the best resources, including the 18th century English oak,  pine wood carving from Gringling Gibbons, trees from Monterey Peninsula, rose terraces, and also multiple varieties of olives which were a favorite choice of Mrs. Clark. Star designers like Syrie Mougham, who chose the rarest and most exotic of offerings like 18th century Chinese coverings, designed the home to give it the best possible aesthetics, while the overall construction had the brain of noted architect Mr. David Adler.

This extravagant home has a total of 30 rooms, including bedrooms, bathrooms, 1700-bottle wine cellar, music room, dining room, library, apart from the common areas like the living room, entrance foyer, car garage, etc. The Tobin Clark Estate has hosted many dignitaries and is truly an amazing property.

Price is conditioned upon owner financing 40% of the purchase price at 3.8%; price w/out seller financing is $29,000,000
