Zen-Inspired Close-in Retreat on 5.4 Acres

Surrounded by nature’s beauty on 5.4 acres on a private street – yet just 3 miles from Sand Hill Road venture capital centers – this home offers complete privacy, organic architecture, and spa-like amenities. Oaks and wildflower-strewn meadows create a serene setting deeply connected to the natural landscape with enchanting walking paths. Inside, warm wood finishes, soaring paneled ceilings, and walls of glass establish a tranquil, Zen-like atmosphere that invites the outdoors in at every turn.

The layout unfolds with multiple stone fireplaces, outdoor access from nearly every room, and refined materials that reflect the home’s high-end craftsmanship. A spa-inspired primary suite features an all-marble bath with cedar-lined sauna and sliding glass doors to the outdoor spa. The flexible floor plan includes one bedroom with a fireplace, en suite bath, and private entrance making it ideal for guest quarters or a possible family room. There is also a detached studio and a lower-level wine cellar with outside access. Outdoor living is equally well considered with a spacious deck overlooking the natural landscape.

This one-of-a-kind property offers a close-in location just minutes to miles of hiking and biking trails, town centers, and access to excellent Portola Valley schools.
