A newly constructed estate on one of Saratoga’s largest properties at 13740 Pierce Road showcases exquisite design features and unsurpassed quality worthy of the exclusive South Bay address.
Heritage Acres sits on 8.3 acres of private and pristine land near the Mountain Winery neighborhood at the end of a long driveway bordered by Italian Cypress trees. Named for the multitude of Heritage oak trees that embrace the property, the estate features a three-level, 10,460-square-foot home with a detached 995-square-foot guesthouse with separate address.
Five years in the making, including two years of planning and three years of building, the gated estate was masterfully designed and features six bedroom suites with fireplaces, seven full bathrooms and two powder rooms in the main home and two bedrooms, two bathrooms in the guest house. Countless luxurious amenities include a glass elevator connecting all three floors, office, home theater, home gym, enormous bonus/game/lounge area with secondary kitchen, bar and more than 650-bottle wine cellar.

There are 15 smart TVs and 62 built-in speakers throughout the estate, and 11 fireplaces.
The Old World façade with formal porte cochere, iron railings, travertine stone steps and spacious terraces belies the fresh and chic contemporary interior bathed in the warm glow of natural light with stunning finishes and stylish features.
The interior, designed by Shadi Figuli of Lilac & Level Interiors (www.lilac-level.com), features European white oak floors, plaster walls, soaring ceilings, richly stained 8-foot solid core alder wood doors and built-ins, and oversized windows framing the hillside views. The 24-foot ceiling in the foyer features hand-scraped and hand-stained exposed beams encasing eight skylights. A tiered chandelier measuring 11 feet suspends from the ceiling.
Local artisans handcrafted the decorative ironwork and brilliant light fixtures that combine traditional crystal prisms into modern concentrically designed works of art. Coordinating chandeliers hang in the formal dining room, casual breakfast room and formal living room. Vic Fernandez of Blackbird Woodworking, Cabinetry & Design (www. blackbirdwood.com) created the stunning woodwork.
The backyard offers lots of room to spread out and entertain on a grand scale and features built-in barbecue, pizza oven, sink, refrigerator and firepit. There is also plenty of room to further customize with pool, spa, bocce ball court, or dining pavilion that could have a view of a vineyard or grove of olive trees on the hillside.
The main level is open with tall ceilings and spacious gathering spaces. A centralized formal living room features soaring windows, and built-in cabinetry. The beautifully appointed kitchen features stunning Brazilian quartzite counters, subway tile backsplash, custom cabinetry and a 9-foot-by-6-foot slab island and breakfast bar and is well equipped with wine refrigerator, farm sink, two full sized Thermador refrigerators, two Bosch dishwashers, 60-inch Wolf range with two full-sized ovens and eight burners and a grill.
Open to the family room, the kitchen can also enjoy the views from the rotunda family room featuring its 14-foot ceiling and six floor-to-ceiling 11-foot tall Pella palladium-style windows pre-wired for electronic Wi-Ficontrolled window shades. The family room also has a fireplace and French doors to the expansive front terrace.

Two bedrooms are located on the main level. One bedroom has a fireplace, sliding barn door to the en suite bathroom, and sliding glass door access to the backyard. The second bedroom also has a fireplace, Juliet balcony and en suite bathroom.
The lower level is an extraordinary open space with 12-foot ceilings, reclaimed barn wood accents, multiple sitting areas around two fireplaces, five flat screen TVs and Italian porcelain wood-grain looking floor. A theater with tiered seating offers an inviting space for movie night. A full kitchen with Carrera marble waterfall counter and elevated bar seating anchors one end of the room and chic open shelving provides lots of room to display glassware. This great space is infused with natural light while what would be ordinary walls are turned into fine art pieces. Eucalyptus trees harvested from the property during construction were hand cut, hand sanded and installed on curved walls creating yet another gathering space and art statement.
A sweeping staircase leads to the upper floor landing that is open to the living room and wraps around to connect with a private terrace that extends about 800 square feet over the porte cochere.
