CNBC has independently confirmed that Holmes and Evans are currently staying in one of the homes that dot the 74-acre property. The storied estate, which is currently listed for sale for $135 million, is nestled in Woodside, one of the wealthiest towns in Silicon Valley. Opening statements in her trial begin this week.

The website for Green Gables boasts “an architectural masterpiece in nature’s finest setting.”

Four pools adorn the grounds, including a stadium-sized Roman pool, a tennis court, a flower and vegetable garden, and a reservoir exclusively for the property. Green Gables, which was built in 1911, evokes the image of an enchanted forest with deer running through the property.

Christie’s International Real Estate and Compass Real Estate are handling the listing. Over the years, the estate has hosted royalty, politicians, the elite of Silicon Valley and even the United Nations 20th anniversary gala. And now you can add Holmes to that list.

The English country-style main house is a 10,000-square-foot, nine-bedroom “arts and crafts mansion,” according to the website. The other six homes on the property are more modest, including the one Holmes and her partner are staying in. A clerk in the courthouse confirmed to CNBC that the address on Evans’ citation was one of the homes on the Green Gables estate.

The town of Woodside is 25 miles from the federal courthouse in San Jose where Holmes is fighting a dozen charges of wire fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud. It is home to some of the biggest names in Silicon Valley including billionaires Larry Ellison (co-founder and executive chairman of Oracle), Charles Schwab, Gordon Moore (co-founder of Intel) and venture capitalist John Doerr.
