Bing Crosby’s Hillsborough Chateau Sells for $25 Million

The new owner plans to maintain the estate’s original 1929 craftsmanship.

The Hillsborough estate of famed entertainer Bing Crosby has sold for $25 million (Dennis Mayer).
This estate — with 11 bedrooms, 10 full bathrooms and 5 half bathrooms — has meticulously preserved craftsmanship and architectural details from the original 1920s design.

Overview

  • The 1929 French chateau-style estate spans 16,600 square feet and sits on 5.4 landscaped acres in Hillsborough, California.
  • The property was listed at $40 million earlier this year following Kathryn Grant’s death and sold on June 12 for $25 million.
  • The sale ranks among the top five real estate deals in Hillsborough history and is the largest since last year’s $23 million Western White House closing.
  • Compass agent Alex Buljan said the buyer, a local resident, intends to preserve the home’s historic character.
  • Original owner Lindsay Howard commissioned the estate as a wedding gift, and Bing Crosby later incorporated antiques from William Randolph Hearst’s collection.
