Exemplary.
Set new standards. Soar to greater heights. Create an enduring legacy. This isn’t an opportunity to purchase a home, it’s an invitation to engage in a lifestyle. This unparalleled signature estate, one of the area’s largest and most impressive, sprawls out over 6.88 acres, featuring an astonishing 22,451 square feet of living space tailored especially for your pleasure. Inspire your inner artist with the main residence, 13,757 sq. ft. of visionary pinnacle-level luxury conceived as a showcase for the original owners’ museum-quality art collections. Frolic with guests in the vibrant 8,064 sq. ft. ‘recreational villa’, a lavish standalone entertainment and residential mecca with dramatic contemporary design by Joseph Gorney. Live large in this self-contained fantasy land featuring an unforgettable pool complex, resort-style outdoor dining and lounges, sports fields, creekside walking trails, and the scenic Orchard Lot with its tropical gardens. Here in Happy Valley, you’ll live amongst titans of tech and finance who gravitate to this unrivaled and exclusive location with easy proximity to Silicon Valley and SF.
Legendary.
Command excellence in the primary estate residence; you won’t be disappointed. Its decadence is secondary only to its exceptional aesthetic: every shape, every surface is strategically crafted to highlight one-of-a-kind art pieces and create potential for dramatic self-expression. Behind a private gate and circular driveway, the vine-covered façade is introduced by a courtyard with reflecting pool and fountains. Inside, bold gestures prevail as towering doors swing wide to the foyer with lofted hallways and the gorgeous great room with its double-height vaulted ceilings. Every element pays homage to the fine arts: ceiling insets evoking Escher-inspired boundless space, museum galleries awaiting legendary installations, a sophisticated salon for hosting recitals or readings. Five stunning bedrooms and companion baths with spa-level comforts, including a glittering tile mosaic shower room and oval jetted tub, await your total relaxation and delight. The exemplary kitchen is a state-of-the-art temple to culinary creativity with its full butler’s pantry and poetic views. Grand-scale parties spill from the artistic dining area to the stone backyard patio and al fresco dining cabana with full kitchen and bar. This is not a case of life imitating art, but life becoming art.
Unforgettable.
Fantasy meets reality in the unequaled resort amenities and captivating grounds of this fully integrated, expansive estate—three premium parcels in one. Travel from a tropical paradise through magical forestland, visit the sports complex, and throw the parties of the century—all before lunch. An astonishingly lavish pool complex boasts cascading waterfalls and fountains cavorting around a sensual illuminated grotto with spa and rooftop fire pit. Watch the action from the additional integrated spa and sheltered lanai lounge with fireplace, lit at sunset by mood-enhancing lighting. Or work up an appetite on the tennis court, regulation basketball court, or swinging at fastballs in the batting cage. The level, usable Orchard lot houses a bocce ball court, putting green and high-yield gardens, all lushly landscaped. Both residences have unlimited potential for outdoor entertaining with resort-style lounge seating, lawns that seem to extend for miles, deluxe outdoor kitchens, bars with screens ready to broadcast your favorite games, and romantic nooks to discover everywhere.
Incomparable.
Triumph in the vivacious ‘recreational villa’, a moniker well-earned by this playful residence’s energy, magnetism, and A-list roster of incredible features. With spaces for gathering, wellness and entertainment, the blueprint centers around the great room, an indoor-outdoor wonderland surrounded by automatic glass walls which vanish at your command, allowing parties to spill out onto the pool deck. Fantastic open design incorporates no-expense-spared finishes on a canvas of open beam vaulted ceilings and gleaming surfaces, narrating the journey from chef-ready kitchen to dining area, living and entertainment room, breathtaking two-story gallery, even an aquarium to bubble any lingering stress away. Bedrooms with Hollywood clout go hand in hand with four spa bathrooms with handcrafted artisan fixtures. This modern Shangri-La includes a gym worthy of a pro athlete, competitive video gaming lounge, rec room with wet bar, massage therapy area, and barbershop, transforming daily life into a luxurious no-holds-barred vacation. Screen your favorite films in the state-of-the-art movie theater with projection system and leather armchairs, even a lobby with retro popcorn wagon.
