WeWork's co-founders, Adam and Rebekah Neumann, have listed their lavish California home for £21.1 million.
The sprawling home –with views of San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge – has plenty to offer; a swimming pool with a theme park-grade waterslide, a music studio, home cinema, indoor racquet-ball court, an outdoor basketball court, plus a detached work-from-home office with its own yoga studio.

The eco-friendly homeoffers off-grid living too, with a personal water well, solar power, geo-thermal systems, a greenhouse, herb garden, chicken coop, and bee harvesting.
You’d have to try really hard to be bored, even in quarantine.
The lush property is set on a hilltop with views of San Francisco, and is just minutes from Golden Gate Bridge.

Inside, the interiors feature a warm, neutral palette with lots of natural materials; stone floors and walls, wood beams, and woven and rattan furnishings.
There are lots of retro, '70s inspired touches too.

Aside from this nearly 10,000 square foot main house, there's also a spacious two-bedroom guest home, staff quarters and a poolside cabana with bar.
A previous owner hired eco-focused architect Sim Van der Ryn to replace the former dated structure with a contemporary mansion. The architect designed it to function off the grid, including things like a personal water well, solar panels and geo-thermal systems.
The power couple clearly have a green thumb; there's a greenhouse full of veg, and there are raised garden beds too.

Inside, there are four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and four cloakrooms / loos.
The bathrooms feature striking design, with Jacuzzi baths and shower rooms with wraparound seating.

There's also a gourmet chef’s kitchen with two butler pantries.
The resortlike compound is noted for “hosting large-scale events,” the listing states. The indoor-outdoor flow includes multiple patios, an outdoor fireplace, on-trend outdoor kitchen, and an outdoor bar.
