California Governor Gavin Newsom and his wife have moved their family to an exclusive part of the state where all four of his children are now enrolled in Marin County schools.
The Democrat, touted as a possible future presidential candidate, will keep his six-bedroom $3.7 million in Fair Oaks in suburban Sacramento home where he will stay with spouse Jennifer Siebel Newsom some nights of the week.
But he will relocate his children 90 miles away to a $9.1 million home in Kentfield, Marin County where his eldest child Montana has just enrolled in high school at The Branson School – with tuition fees of up to $60,000 a year.
The deal for the 5,600sq ft new mansion closed on Thursday and saw Newsom pay 7 percent more than the asking price for the mansion that sits on less than an acre of land.
The six-bedroom, five-and-a-half bathroom property complete with a guest house for visitors comes with floor-to-ceiling windows with views of Mount Tamalpais.
Outdoors, there’s a swimming pool and a spa with sculptures lining a back garden with a roaring fire pit. Inside the bedrooms come with a handful of walk-in closets.
A Newsom spokesperson would not confirm the purchase of the property but stated: ‘The family continues to split their time between Sacramento and Marin counties.
