Celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz is selling her 'dream' California farm estate, just five years after purchasing the historic rural property.
Annie, 74, who is known for her high-profile celebrity photos, purchased the sprawling property in 2019 for $7.5 million.
Located in Bolinas, a coastal community about an hour from San Francisco, the 65-acre estate has been listed at $9 million, and has views of Bolinas Lagoon, Stinson Beach, Mount Tamalpais, the Pacific Ocean, and San Francisco.
The property has been listed by Alexander Lurie and Nick Svenson, and has four structures on the estate: a four bedroom house, a guest house, a caretaker's residence, and a converted garage.
Celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz is selling her 'dream' California farm estate, five years after purchasing the historic rural property
Annie originally purchased the sprawling 65-acre property in Bolinas, California, for $7.5 million in 2019
Annie said when Rolling Stone moved to New York in 1977, she didn't think expect that she would move too - let alone stay
Additionally, there are two barns, one built in the 1930s, and a banquet hall with a performance stage.
'Tucked away in the serenity of Bolinas, California where the Pacific Ocean and Mt. Tamalpais meet, The Hideaway is an extraordinary 65-acre coastal retreat,' the online listing gushes.
'With breathtaking views of the Bolinas Lagoon, Stinson Beach and San Francisco, this iconic property features a rare combination of history, agricultural opportunities and an equestrian paradise. The Hideaway was the site of photographic interest for Ansel Adams in the 1930s and later became hallowed grounds for famed investor and Hardly Strictly Bluegrass festival founder Warren Hellman.
'Bountiful fields and terraces for sustainable agriculture, livestock stalls and vast pastures decorate the expansive property. An equestrian facility offers a picturesque riding arena next to a seven-stall barn with offices.
'The updated residential compound features a 1920's SFH with four beds, guest house, workshop, and two bed caretaker's residence. The adjacent hay and dairy barns have been transformed into a banquet hall with a performance stage and Hellman's famed recording studio.
'Surrounded by world-class coastal beauty, The Hideaway is moments away from amazing surfing, kayaking, hiking and wildlife preserves. Replete with lush rolling hills, sensational sunrises and sunsets, and sprawling vistas, this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of history.'
New York-based Annie, who is originally from California, admitted she had always thought she'd move back to the West Coast.
'I had always thought of myself as a California person,' she reflected, adding she always 'dreamed' of moving back.
'I went to school there, at the San Francisco Art Institute. I learned to be a photographer there.'

Annie put about $2 million into the property, installing infrastructure upgrades and renovating the 1920s residence, which included adding a new kitchen
Annie made sure to preserve the character and history of the home, keeping many original details
Annie said when Rolling Stone moved to New York in 1977, she didn't expect that she would move too - let alone stay.
'I thought I lived in California. But the work was in New York. Or Europe,' the photographer pointed out.
However, even after spending years living and working in New York, and raising my children on the East Coast, Annie said she always 'dreamed about returning to California.'
Her dream to have a slice of California came true in after she purchased an estate in Bolinas, California, for $7.5 million in 2019.
'We were told of this extraordinary property that from the top of the hill had views of the lagoon and bay and the coast that are magnificent. It has its own special climate,' Annie recalled.
'Everything can grow year round,' she continued. 'There were 65 acres with an old milking barn that Ansel Adams had photographed.
'It had been used as a gathering place for country and folk music concerts in its day.'
Annie put about $2 million into the property, making infrastructure upgrades and renovating the 1920s residence, which included adding a new kitchen.
However, she made sure to preserve the character and history of the home, with a rotary phone still hanging on the wall as an ode to the estate's history.
The previous owner converted an unused farm building on the property into a music studio and another into a music venue to host private concerts
According to the mom-of-three, she bought the home when her eldest daughter was looking at colleges on the West Coast, but her daughters ended up in the Northeast
Prior to Annie's purchase in 2019, the Bolinas farm was owned by Warren Hellman, a San Francisco financier and founder of the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass music festival
In February, Annie sold off her Manhattan apartment for $10.62 million - suffering a near $1 million loss on the pad, which she bought for $11.24 million in 2014

'We planned to partner with a legendary farmer over the hill to bring the place back to its former self as a working and teaching farm,' she added.
According to the mom-of-three, she bought the home when her eldest daughter was looking at colleges on the West Coast. However, when all three of her daughters ended up in the Northeast, she made the decision to sell it.
Prior to Annie's purchase in 2019, the Bolinas farm was owned by Warren Hellman, a San Francisco financier and founder of the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass music festival.
He converted an unused farm building on the property into a music studio and another into a music venue to host private concerts.
Annie, who worked for Rolling Stone for 13 years and whose credits include Vanity Fair and Vogue, is known for portraits of celebrities, including the late John Lennon and Yoko Ono.
In addition to her West Coast abode, Annie has owned several properties in Manhattan, including an Upper West Side apartment she sold for $10.6 million earlier this year and a compound in Manhattan’s West Village composed of three brick townhouses which sold for $28.5 million in 2013.
However, it's New York's Hudson Valley that her family calls home in a 'wonderful property [along] the river.'
