Sausalito is a quaint waterside town across the bay from San Francisco.

This is the first time in almost a decade that the Valhalla compound has been listed.

There are two adjacent homes included in the listing: a 1,800-square-foot, three-bedroom house next door and a 1,300-square-foot, two-bedroom guesthouse.
The main structure is technically unfinished — visuals included in the listing are renderings, not photos.

The compound was originally called Walhalla and was designed as a German Biergarten when it was built in 1893.
The restaurant, bar, and dance hall became as beloved in Sausalito as did her brothels across the bay in San Francisco.

Regardless of what the property becomes, it will offer stunning views of the bay and the city.
