A Glen Ellen estate that served as inspiration for Jack London’s literary and romantic life recently came to market asking $4.4 million. The property was formerly owned by London’s agent and editor, Netta Eames. She not only nurtured London’s early work in her magazine, “The Overland Monthly,” but also introduced him to her niece and his future second wife, Charmain Kittredge.

London, who enjoyed writing outside, used to sit in a grove on the property, according to sales agent Tina Shone.
