Want a free mansion? Call Steve Jobs.

It's not every day that someone offers up their 35-room Spanish colonial mansion as free for the taking. Then again, Steve Jobs is not your ordinary CEO.

Jobs is hoping this is the final chapter of his saga to get "one of the biggest abominations of a house I've ever seen"
off of his Woodside property. Historic preservationists have been battling Jobs' desire to demolish the house, designed by revered California architect George Washington Smith for copper baron Daniel C. Jackling.

The clock is ticking, folks – you've got one year to claim it, and this abomination could be yours. Unfortunately,
there's no such thing as a free house – you'll have to pony up approximately $2 million to have the house dismantled and reassembled. Zoinks!
