About this product
At a time when most of America was pinching pennies, media mogul William Randolph Hearst commissioned one of the largest and most extravagant homes ever built. The centerpiece of an estate nearly half the size of Rhode Island, the 165-room San Simeon overlooks the California countryside from a hilltop high above the Pacific. From the initial plans in 1918 to the commencement of all-access tours, HEARST CASTLE AT SAN SIMEON is a fascinating look at this extraordinary property. Rare home movies show its construction (rumored to have cost $30 million) and offer a glimpse of Hearst's storybook life. See some of the pieces in the estate's exquisite art collection, and get a rare glimpse into rooms that have been declared "off-limits" to the public. AMERICA'S CASTLES invites you to explore this magnificent home at the heart of a private kingdom.
