Donald Trump Lists California Home

When Housing Watch broke the news that Donald Trump has listed his home in Rancho Palos Verdes, California, I knew we had to go check it out. Trump, who has a habit of creating drama where ever he goes, had years of "tumultuous relations" with the locals. Trump, a man accustomed to always getting his own way, ran up against the community rules over a variety of issues. He even sued the town for $100 million because they wouldn't let him have his own way.

The home he is selling is his personal residence where he stayed while in Los Angeles and is located at the 18-hole Trump National Golf Course and has both golf course and ocean views The 11,000-square-foot five-bedroom luxurious yet bland Mediterranean has marble floors is built in a U-shaped design around a courtyard with an infinity pool facing the ocean. The gourmet kitchen has Miele appliances, Wolf range, a Sub Zero refrigerator and a copper hood over the range. The master suite offers a walk-in closet, large bathroom, private patio and fire pit. The home has several fireplaces including one in the library. The game room has a full sized bar that matches the one at Trump National Golf Course. A glass wine room showcases your collection. It's posh but practically understated considered Trump's usual taste for gilded, over-the-top decor.

Housing Watch reports that Trump paid $27 million in the late 1990s for the 300-acre land site and constructed the golf course and adjacent properties. A pretty sharp deal. Homes on the course sell for over $5 million. Trump's personal home is listed for $12 million with Linda D'Ambrosi and Sandra Callen of Keller Williams, Rancho Palos Verdes.
