Newsom lists Sacramento-area mansion for sale amid 2028 speculation
PN Team • 2 months ago
California Gov. Gavin Newsom and his partner, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, have listed their Fair Oaks mansion near Sacramento for $7.5 million, roughly double the $3.7 million they paid for the property in December 2018, shortly before Newsom took office. The 12,700-square-foot, seven-bedroom estate sits on 8.2 acres along the American River bluffs and features a resort-style pool, hot tub, cold plunge, tennis court, private casita and a 5,000-bottle wine cellar. It is being marketed by Sotheby's International Realty.
The Newsoms briefly lived in the state's official governor's mansion before relocating to Fair Oaks, and in 2024 they also bought a $9.1 million home in Kentfield in the Bay Area. As his second and final term nears its end, Newsom has spent less time in Sacramento, a city he once called "so dull." In July, the couple disclosed tax returns showing at least $11 million in income since 2019. The sale effectively closes out his time in the capital region and comes as Newsom is widely viewed as a potential frontrunner for the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination.
