(1,350 sq.m.) mansion in the Spanish Colonial Revival style, designed by architect George Washington Smith in the early 1900s for copper magnate Daniel Jackling, which Steve Jobs bought in 1984."  Zillow Homes,  460 Mountain Home Road was last sold in 1984 (to Steve Jobs), apparently remains in the Steve Jobs estate, and is not for sale currently.
