Meet here. Play here. Live here. Arise to a lifestyle that, until now, was only in dreams.

Tucked in the charming and richly historic South Valley city of San Martin, CordeValle Vineyard Estates is a hidden treasure for those seeking an exclusive South Bay residence.

Sitting in the picturesqu­e Lion’s Valley at the foot of the Santa Cruz mountains, this enclave of 41 luxurious home sites is wrapped in 85 acres of Clos LaChance winery vineyards. Rows of picturesqu­e vines wind among the estate properties built to take advantage of the views. The boutique winery maintains and harvests the fruit while homeowners sit back and enjoy the view.

CordeValle spreads over 1,700 acres of open space. Home sites range from 2 and

4 acres and all are within close proximity to the world class CordeValle Golf and Country Club, a private club with about 350 members, and the luxurious Rosewood Resort. Visit www.

cordevalle­golf.com. The renowned Robert Trent Jones Jr. designed the golf course. The clubhouse, a gorgeous venue for meetings and social events, features art collected from all over the world and first-class concierge service.

Often referred to as “wine country living”, CordeValle offers convenient access to a multitude of wineries in this rich grape growing region that has a colorful history. Many wineries have called the South Valley home for generation­s and today produce many varietals in what is considered a near-perfect grape growing climate.

The Santa Clara County Board of Supervisor­s declared September as Wine Month to highlight the more than 30 new and establishe­d wineries in the South Valley. Hop on bikes and pedal along a wine trail tour. More than 500,000 people visit the wineries along the Southern Santa Clara Valley Wine Trail, a 28-mile trail with more than 70 directiona­l signs guiding visitors along the trail that winds along Watsonvill­e Road, Hecker Pass Highway, Santa Teresa Boulevard and the east sides of Gilroy, San Martin and Morgan Hill. Visit www.santaclara­wines.com for a Wine Trail map.

Located south of San Jose between the bustling energy of Silicon Valley and the natural beauty of the California coastal cities along Monterey Bay, Cordevalle is also surrounded by outstandin­g parkland, and the thriving communitie­s of Morgan Hill, San Martin, and nearby Gilroy that host year-round farmers’ markets and annual special events. You can also witness the splendor of the nature preserve right outside your door and watch the wandering quail, turkeys, ducks, jackrabbit­s and more.
