WeWork cofounder Adam Neumann's San Francisco Bay Area home has officially hit the market for $27.5 million, Mansion Global reported.
The 10-acre compound includes a 10,000-square-foot main house, a separate guest house, a swimming pool, a greenhouse, gardens, a chicken coop, and solar and geothermal systems.
Neumann and his wife, Rebekah, have been trying to sell off millions of dollars of real estate in recent months after temporarily moving to Israel to escape media scrutiny.
The ousted WeWork CEO, who lost his billionaire status this spring, is now worth between $450 million and $750 million, based on estimates from Forbes and Bloomberg.

Adam Neumann is selling off yet another piece of luxury real estate.

The WeWork cofounder and former CEO's "Guitar House" in Northern California has officially hit the market for $27.5 million, Beckie Strum reported for Mansion Global. Bloomberg first reported the impending listing last month.

The sprawling estate sits on 10 acres in Corte Madera, California, and includes a 10,000-square-foot main home, a two-bedroom guest house, a detached yoga studio, a wine cellar, staff quarters, and a poolside cabana.

Neumann bought the compound in 2018 for $21.4 million. The property once belonged to legendary rock and roll concert promoter Bill Graham and was later "reimagined" by eco-architect Sim Van der Ryn, according to the listing.

Compass agent Joshua Deitch has the listing.

After founding WeWork in 2010, Neumann and Rebekah spent more than $80 million on at least five homes. But after moving to Israel to escape media scrutiny, they've been trying to offload them one by one.
