Former Apple exec Michael Barnick is selling his $35 million California mansion, and all we can say is … wow!
Not only is the home the epitome of iPod minimalist modernism, but it’s (perhaps unsurprisingly) pretty high-tech, too. Controllable entirely via iPhone or iPad, the list of automated features includes lighting, music, TV, air conditioning, window blinds, fireplaces and door locks — with Barnick himself designing the home-automation setup.
Check out some of the gorgeous pictures below.
Barnick was retired when he started work on the ocean-side house, but apparently got so into the home-automation angle that he started up a new company, Quantum Integration, which now installs similar tech for other people.
Ironically, after putting in years of work obsessively getting every detail of the 3.7-acre Santa Barbara County home just right, Barnick says his family has grown up and he and his wife no longer need such a massive $35 million property. He never actually got the chance to live there.
We’ve all been there, right? Right?
