Apple's co-founder Steve Wozniak has one of the most unique houses in an exclusive area of Los Gatos in the San Francisco Bay Area. The 7,100-sq foot house has 6 bedrooms and 7.5 baths and seems relatively normal when viewed from the outside, although the interior is beyond unique, having recently been completely overhauled by developer Larry Willard and architects Avi Agasi and Amnon Levy. The house is gorgeously appointed, with spa-like bathrooms, huge decks and a built in espresso machine and wet bar. On top of its more standard features, it also boasts a children's discovery complex, an arcade, a cave (designed to look real by experts from the California Academy of Sciences ) and a pet hotel. Almost all of the materials used in the house are organic, as opposed to man-made, with curving lines throughout and lots of skylights to maximize the amount of movement in the house. The asking price is $10 million.

Gawd. You'd think the Woz would have something like a La Marzocco FB80, or for true artists' sake, a Kees Van der Westen designed Speedster espresso machine instead of a gawdawful Miele built in PoS super auto. Pass. ;)

Well 3-pics are a pretty lame view of his house...
You mightlook around the net and find his Arcade machine(s)near the inside pool and other things...
Tsk, tsk...

Keith, Lets see you do better then. While I agree that more pictures would be better, I find it arrogant for you to criticize this person's work.
Back on topic.. This house looks amazing. The things they mentions are awesome and who wouldn't want a cave in their house?

To think that such oppulence is created by those who know of the world's undernourished and impoverished.

Woz is a huge supporter of education and has spent the better part of his time working to put computers into schools. Oh please, decry "Undernourished, Impoverished", what have you done personally to lessen the worlds ills? "Give a person a fish, feed them for a day - but Teach a person to fish feed them for a lifetime" or so the saying goes. Oh and "oppulence" would be spelled just one "p". Cool house Woz.

T Gali: Can it. Woz earned his dough, he can do with it what he wants. I don't see you giving anyone the shirt off your back.

Dude, he worked for the money, I think he deserved it, and if it wasn't for him I probably wouldn't have my MacBook i'm typing on.
Hope he has plenty Macs and XServers in there :P

"4. To think that such oppulence is created by those who know of the world's undernourished and impoverished."
How do you have time to cruise the web checking it out? Shouldn't you be selling your computer so you can buy a plane ticket to Africa and do your part to help the impoverished???
Woz invented something that changed the entire world and began the process of bringing us all closer together. He deserves to live in oppulence!

Good for Woz. He certainly deserves a nice home like this. I was wondered where he lived.
Wonder where he's moving to now?

I agree there needs to be more pictures. Though I do like the whole cave idea. Actually though I'd prefer a nice garden + creek and a samurai style house myself =D

This is really cool. Looks like a cave. I want my next house to look like that, too. :)

You'd think a person writing an article about a house might actually visit the house... this is like a child's book report, and about as insightful.

Also, that article is much better and has allot more info. Here is the official website of the house:

7.5 baths?
Doesn't the water just flood out of the .5 of a bath? Can't he afford the other .5?
I'm not sure I'd be interested in a house which is regulalryl flooded by it's .5 of a bath.

Gorgeous house. Love the cave idea.
@DRogers
Why is a rich person obligated to help the poor? The poor and sick should know better not to have children because they keep the cycle going, I feel no sympothy. No one is expected to try to help a lost cause.

Al - A half-bath (the .5) is a bathroom that has no actual bathtub, just a sink and toilet and/or shower.

T.Gali - don't get down on these comments - do what you will with your riches - but do us all a favor and don't try to do the world 'good' by spreading the message - let your actions do the talking - be the next Woz and go wild with what your money - I'm sure you'll encourage others to do the same much more.
Beautiful house btw

The new religion of "Deserve".
What do any of us deserve? We came here with only what was given us and it is that which gives us more or less. The question is does anyone "deserve" too much? If I work hard and fast to eat more of the food on the table, do I "deserve" it. How about if I cut the most trees down the fastest, or grab the most land the fastest?
Consider the new religion of Mac: Think different.
