Behring Estate

Built for real estate developer and former Seattle Seahawks owner Ken Behring, the aptly named Behring Estate takes cues from famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright's western Pennsylvania landmark, Fallingwater. However, this 26,627 square foot compound with 7 bedrooms and 14 baths sits on the other side of the country, in Danville, California, which is 40 minutes from San Francisco, an hour from San Jose, and only 1.5 hours from Napa. Inside, an opulent, open floorplan features grand rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows for views of the surrounding grounds, which include sculptural gardens, a detached event venue, several garages for cars and golf carts, and pavilions for dining and entertaining. Art, both natural and acquired, is omnipresent inside, too, appearing under staircases, at the center of other rooms, and on the walls. The Tang Dynasty artifacts located in the swanky 10,000-bottle wine cellar and tasting room, and elsewhere throughout the home, are included in the sale.
