Yesterday, we ran a post about Steve Jobs and the strange afterlife of the historic Woodside mansion he demolished.
As a follow-up, here’s what’s happening on that property today. From VentureBeat:
Laurene Powell Jobs has proposed building a new estate that would total 15,689 square feet. The proposal for the land, which Steve Jobs originally bought in 1984, would not just include a sumptuous new residence, but would create an agricultural wonderland where the family would be able to raise livestock, press olive oil, make wine, and plant a large vegetable garden.
While smaller than the Jackling footprint, the ambitious yet rustic new complex would be a stark contrast to the relatively modest 5,768-square-foot house in Palo Alto where the Jobs family lived together since the mid-1990s.

In addition, Loop reader and iOS developer Christopher Lloyd shared a story about his uncle, who owned the Jackling mansion before Steve Jobs and sold it to Jobs.
Christopher has a chance to visit the house before Steve bought it and posted a bit of background and some pictures here. Cool beans.
