The deGuigné Family had owned this Woodside property since the 1860s. Christian deGuigné IV inherited this 47-acre property consisting of a main house and several ancillary buildings. Sixteen thousand square feet in size, this residence had, by 2013, grown to include seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms, a ballroom and a flower-arranging room. (The advertisement did not indicate if a separate toe-nail cutting space had also been added.) His asking price was around $100 million, a bargain compared to the $117.5 million price obtained for a neighboring 2005 residence. A guest house stood nearby in which deGuigné would live after the sale for the remainder of his life. Thomas Church (1902-1978) designed the pool and interior designer Anthony Hall created the decor.

Designed by the high-society, San Francisco architectural firm of Bliss and Faville, the de Guigne House had simple Mediterranean Revival styling, with arched first floor openings. It was covered by a compound hipped roof.
