In what could be one of the biggest residential real estate stories of the year, a historic estate in Hillsborough, Calif. has hit the market for $100 million.

The 47-acre spread has belonged to members of the de Guigne family for 150 years, and is finally being sold by Christian de Guigne IV for "estate-planning purposes," according to The Wall Street Journal.

The sale has one unusual stipulation: de Guigne, 75, comes with the home. He's retaining a "life estate" on the property, meaning he will have exclusive use of the home until he dies, according to The WSJ.

The 16,000-square-foot mansion has seven bedrooms and a servants' wing. The property also has formal gardens and two reservoirs. It's being sold by Sotheby's International Realty; Gregg Lynn and Bernadette Lamothe have the listing.

This map gives an idea of how big the de Guigne estate is. The 47-acre spread sits on the top of a hill and has views of San Francisco.

A 4,500-foot driveway leads up to the main home.

The centerpiece of the property is the mansion, which is 16,000 square feet.

Pamela Anderson has been plagued by rumors of money troubles lately.

In December of last year, it was reported by TMZ that the Baywatch actress owed $371,514.65 in unpaid taxes to the IRS, and was over-spending on her home construction project to boot.

So it appears that to get back on financial track, the sex symbol is selling her Malibu Colony home. It was just listed for $7.75 million, according to real estate blog Trulia.

Anderson originally purchased the home back in 2000 for $1.8 million — that means if the price holds, the actress could be making a profit of $6 million to help with her financial woes.

The home was designed by architect Philip Vertoch in 1959, and decorated by Josh Chryssanthou and Pamela Anderson herself. It has five bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a pool.
