A private-equity founder is asking $35 million for his Bay Area estate, just three years after buying it for $19 million. 

J. Taylor Crandall, a founder of private-equity firm Oak Hill Capital, is listing his 21.48-acre estate in Alamo, an affluent suburb about 30 miles east of San Francisco. When he bought the house in 2020 with his wife, Suzanne Crandall, it set a record for Contra Costa County, said Marilee Headen of Compass, who is marketing the property with Taso Tsakos of Engel & Völkers.
