Located just east of Sacramento in Granite Bay, CA, sits
Eddie Murphy’s former 12,000 square foot estate. Built in 1998, the estate sits
on 2.5 acres and includes a 5,200 square foot guest house.
The estate houses 10 bedrooms, a 12-seat movie theater, and
a billiards and arcade room. Other indoor amenities include a gym, four bars, a
gourmet kitchen, and a sauna. Outside, the estate is adorned with a pool and
spa, gazebos, waterfalls, and both a basketball and tennis court.
The master bedroom offers sweeping views of Folsom Lake and
the Sierra Nevada, which are even better when on the elevated bed.
While the asking price of $12 million for Murphy’s former
estate is pricey for the area, the owner contends that building an estate would
take years and cost more than $12 million. Would you pay more than the worth of
the house in order to save on time?
