POMPANO BEACH, Fla. ,
July 12,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Annie Leibovitz's Picture-Perfect California
Hideaway
America's most famous photographer, Annie Leibovitz, had quite the surprise when she
bought her 65-acre home and farm in 2019 and learned that the
country's most famous photographer of the 20th century,
Ansel Adams, had photographed one of
the farm's barns a century ago. It was the perfect metaphor for her
purchase of The Hideaway in Bolinas,
California.
Where Real Estate Is Never Boring!
Leibovitz is renowned for her intimate portraits of celebrities
for 'Rolling Stone,' 'Vanity Fair,' and 'Vogue.' She did
Mick Jagger, Adele, Linda Ronstadt, Queen
Elizabeth II, Bruce
Springsteen, The Blues Brothers, and the Barack Obama family. Her snapshot of
John Lennon wrapped around
Yoko Ono, taken just a few hours
before his death, is one of 'Rolling Stone's' most famous cover
images. And her photos of Miley
Cyrus marked a turning point in the young singer's career.
Declared a Living Legend by the Library of Congress, Annie is the
first woman to have a feature exhibition at Washington's National Portrait Gallery. Born
in Connecticut and based in
New York, the self-described
'California person' purchased a
65-acre home and farm, known as The Hideaway, in Bolinas, California in 2019, hoping to spend
more time on the West Coast, where she had majored in photography
at the San Francisco Art Institute. But
with her three children on the East Coast, Annie has decided to
list the property for sale at $8.9
million.
With her new property dating back to the 1800s, Leibovitz spent
over $2 million on improvements,
which included several structures: a home with four bedrooms, a
guest house, a caretaker's residence, and a converted garage. A
previous owner, Hardly Strictly Blue Grass founder Warren Hellman, added a recording studio and a
performance venue with a banquet hall to the property. An
equestrian's dream, the complex has impressive horse facilities,
including a 100' x 200' covered riding arena and a top-of-the-line,
seven-stall barn with exposed beams and an attached office.
Spectacular rolling hills and verdant pastures provide fodder for
horses, cattle, or other livestock. Last but definitely not least:
gorgeous views of Bolinas Lagoon, Stinson
Beach, Mount Tamalpais, the Pacific Ocean, San Francisco, and the surrounding countryside
add even more allure to the picture.
What might be described as the perfect California location on Bolinas Bay,
Bolinas has a small-town
atmosphere but is only an hour's drive north to San Francisco. Known for its reclusive
residents, Bolinas is only
accessible via unmarked roads. The Hideaway is close to bird and
seal sanctuaries, botanical gardens, great spots for kayaking and
surfing, and the charming Bolinas
and Stinson Beach towns.
Almare Falls, one of only two beach
waterfalls in the continental United
States, is accessible via the California Coastal Trail.
Other celebrities hiding away in this uniquely beautiful, secluded
area include director Joel Coen,
actress Frances McDormand, chef and
restaurateur Alice Waters, and
Third-Eye Blind frontman Stephan
Jenkins.
The listing is held by Alexander Fromm
Lurie at Compass.
