This stunning gated knoll-top compound rests on almost 12 acres. A private drive through the redwoods ends when you encounter a view that will take your breath away. It is an incredible environment – one that offers the ultimate in privacy, exceptional views out to the Bay, plus indoor and outdoor venues that can easily accommodate entertaining hundreds of guests, yet be just as comfortable for day-to-day family living. The style is dramatic and contemporary, blending in harmony with the natural beauty of this setting high above the Peninsula.

Designed around an elevated infinity pool and entertainment complex with exceptional walls of stone, the property is comprised of a vast main residence with modern style plus a secondary structure that combines a large open floor gym with a two-bedroom guest house and 6-car garage. Plus covered parking for 5 additional cars.

The craftsmanship throughout is superb with ceiling heights reaching 25 feet, clerestory windows that take full advantage of the views, and exquisite granite, stone, and wood finishes. Large wall expanses are perfect for works of art as is the carefully placed lighting in the gallery hallway and main living areas. Built-in seating arrangements are framed by artistic circular sweeps of granite in the multi-level living room and media area on the lower level.

A tremendous chef’s kitchen is augmented by a caterer’s kitchen and pantry, while an adjoining family room keeps everyone close at hand. Rounding out the living areas is a private library/office loft that benefits from views across the living room and out to the Bay.

The home’s personal accommodations are comprised of 5 large bedrooms each with an en suite bath highlighted by the upper-level owner’s suite and adjacent suite perfect for an office or nursery. Guests or extended family members will be equally comfortable in the separate 2-bedroom, 1-bath guest house with full kitchen and expansive living area.

Outside, the landscaped grounds provide resort-like amenities and include a focal-point entertainment complex with sun-swept infinity edge pool and sweeping terrace designed with free standing structures that add function and beauty. Two separate level yards for play, meandering, lighted paths and terraced steps access the grounds, plus wind down to an orchard, and the cleared proposed vineyard space. Offering the best of Peninsula living, this very special property is just 15 minutes to boutique shopping and dining as well as a commuter route that easily accesses two international airports, San Francisco, and all of Silicon Valley.
