Alex Buljan has put the former home of NFL legend Jerry Rice back on the market, setting an asking price of $35 million for a 12,520‑sq‑ft estate that sits on 1.24 acres in Atherton, California.
The mansion, built in the early 2000s, features French‑inspired architecture with Versace limestone floors, Swarovski crystal accents, and a sprawling Mediterranean garden designed by Santana Rows landscape architect.
Rice occupied the property from 2001 to 2013, after which philanthropists Peter and Susanna Pau purchased it for $9 million – a price that was less than half of the original $22 million listing in 2007.
Buljan told SFGATE that the home still houses a state‑of‑the‑art gym, a theatre with Art Deco touches, a wine cellar that can hold 1,000 bottles, and a private pool and spa, all of which underscore its luxury appeal.
Atherton is among the most expensive markets on the Peninsula, and the $35 million price tag places the estate in a rare cohort of properties that combine expansive acreage with unparalleled privacy.
Potential buyers can schedule viewings through Compass, and offers will be considered through the end of August, giving investors a limited window to snap up a piece of NFL history.
