Portola Valley, CA – October 7, 2026
Situated on 1.25 serene acres in central Portola Valley, this rare residential compound blends organic architecture with complete privacy and versatile living spaces. Totaling 6,234 square feet across four distinct structures, the property captures the essence of refined California living with a seamless connection between light-filled interiors and professionally landscaped grounds.
The main residence is designed for effortless single-level living, characterized by vaulted ceilings, European white oak floors, honed marble, and custom designer lighting throughout. An open-concept great room serves as the centerpiece of the home, featuring a fireplace, flexible dining areas, and direct access to the outdoors. The adjacent chef’s kitchen is equipped with custom cabinetry, Moroccan tilework, and professional-grade appliances.
The dedicated bedroom wing includes all four bedrooms and opens to a private wellness courtyard featuring a cold plunge and outdoor shower. The primary suite offers a secluded sanctuary complete with vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings with exposed timber beams, a fireplace sitting area, a custom dressing room, and French doors leading to a private garden terrace. Its ensuite bath is finished with radiant-heated Belgian Bluestone floors, a deep soaking tub, and a marble walk-in shower. For day-to-day utility, a home office, family room, and laundry facility complete the main house.
Beyond the primary residence, two well-equipped, fully independent structures—a one-bedroom ADU with a separate driveway and address, and a detached guest house—provide exceptional flexibility for multi-generational living, detached office, or home gym. A heavy timber-built car barn with an upper-level recreation lounge adds further functionality to the compound. The peaceful grounds are designed among the mature redwoods, heritage oaks, and perennial gardens and are structured into a series of distinct outdoor living rooms, creating private spaces for entertaining, dining and relaxation. Positioned minutes from Interstate 280, top-rated schools, open space preserves, and local clubs, the property balances rural seclusion with convenient access to Silicon Valley.
