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.
Take a look inside Neumann's San Francisco Bay Area home.
Adam Neumann, the cofounder and former CEO of WeWork, has been trying to sell off millions of dollars of his real-estate portfolio in recent months.
Neumann, who cofounded WeWork in 2010 with his wife, Rebekah Neumann, and Miguel McKelvey, was ousted from the company last year after its failed IPO.
Neumann was worth as much as $14 billion before last year's fiasco, but his fortune has since shrunk dramatically. He's now worth between $450 million and $750 million, based on estimates from Forbes and Bloomberg.
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.
In February, the Neumanns put multiple units in their New York City townhouse on the market for a combined $37.5 million.
And in March, they sold their house in the Hamptons for $1.25 million after owning it for seven years, Mansion Global reported.
Their latest property to hit the market is a home in Corte Madera in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Corte Madera, a town of just under 10,000 people, is about 30 minutes by car from San Francisco.
In 2018, the median household income in Corte Madera was $147,587 — more than double the national median of $60,293, according to data from the US Census Bureau.
The Neumanns' house in Corte Madera, asking $27.5 million, sits on more than 10 acres on a hilltop that's just minutes from the Golden Gate Bridge, according to the listing.

According to the listing, the new owner of the Guitar House can live "off the grid" thanks to the compound's gardens, personal water well, and solar and geothermal systems.
And don't forget the greenhouse, the chicken coop, and last but not least, the bee harvesting farm.
