  • Veteran venture capitalist Marc Andreessen and his wife, Laura, are selling their Bay Area mansion.
  • The more than 12,000-square-foot home is now on the market for over $33 million.

One of Silicon Valley's best-known investors has put his Bay Area mansion up for sale.

Marc Andreessen, the founder of the storied venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, and his wife Laura Arrillaga-Andreessen, are selling their more than 12,000-square-foot home in Atherton, California, for $33,375,000.

It's unclear where they're headed next. The Andreessen family declined a request for comment from Business Insider. But over the past several years, they've accumulated more than $250 million in property in Malibu, California, according to The Wall Street Journal.

If you're on the hunt for an estate in Silicon Valley or just enjoy browsing expensive properties, here's a closer look at the Andreessen's home.
