Rarely if ever does a property of this significance exist showcasing impeccable craftsmanship throughout a multiple structure compound with the ambience of a luxurious resort.
The beauty of this Los Gatos estate is in the new construction that masterfully reflects the patina of a rich and storied past.
The sprawling hacienda, Rancho Chiquito, was designed and built in a mission revival style inspired by the California Spanish missions. Classic features include prominent hand hewn Douglas fir beams and posts, Montana flagstone patios, arched entries, carved wood doors, imported and handmade Spanish roof tiles, custom ironwork, Kolbe stained wood windows, Old World interior wall finishes, decorative hand-painted tiles, and cobblestones reclaimed from the streets of San Francisco.
The gated acre property at the end of a long driveway at 14680 Quito Road features a private and breathtaking compound centered on spacious courtyards, flowing fountains, lush gardens and multiple outdoor venues. Constructed between 2009 and 2013, the six structures on the property feature about 5,438 square feet of living space in addition to a three-car garage and almost 290-square-foot workshop. The structures include a 3,151-square-foot main house, almost 1,270-square-foot guesthouse, about 730-squarefoot casita, about 300-squarefoot studio, and a detached greenhouse.
The main house completed in 2013 was designed to connect to the spacious loggia with hand-hewn beams and posts, and courtyard. Its open floor plan features multiple French doors, Kolbe stained wood windows, wide-planked hickory hardwood floors, Rohl faucets, and surround sound.
There are four bedrooms including one with separate entry, three and a half bathrooms, a media/office/library with separate entry, custom wine cellar for 1,000 bottles, and great room anchored by a fireplace with reclaimed beam mantle on one side and a gourmet kitchen on the other.
The kitchen is well appointed with custom knotty alder cabinetry, Thermador appliances, Mariana soapstone counter island with pendant lighting, and leathered marble perimeter counters with farm sink.
The two-bedroom guesthouse is a private oasis plucked from a luxurious south-of-the-border resort. Its enclosed sunroom features two walls of folding accordion windows that completely open for a seamless flow to a private patio with lush foliage on one side, and a loggia with views of the centralized courtyard on the other. The guesthouse features a full kitchen with honed granite counters and Shaw farm sink, hickory hardwood floors, laundry, central heat and air conditioning and custom organizers in each bedroom closet.
The casita was completed in 2010 and features a private stone staircase entry and garden courtyard. This structure also has its own laundry, kitchen, heating and air conditioning, hickory hardwood floors, custom tiled shower and bath and on demand gas water heater.
An almost 290-square-foot studio is ideal for a home office, gym, art studio or additional guest quarters. Completed in 2011, this flexible space features plaster walls with lime wash finish, fireplace, hexagon Saltillo tile flooring, vaulted ceiling with exposed beams, stone veneer exterior with hand hewn beams and rafters, full bathroom, and kitchenette.
The detached three-car garage was completed in 2011 and features about 1,218 square feet of space that includes a pull-down ladder to attic storage, an extra deep parking stall for boat or trailer, an almost 300-square-foot workshop with 220V and 110V outlets, and a bathroom with stainless commercial sink and instant hot water.
The greenhouse is also new construction completed in 2011 and is enhanced by a stone veneer exterior. The aluminum and glass structure has a used brick floor, redwood table, fountain, and automatic roof vents and automatic temperature controlled window vents and fan.
In addition to the multiple private covered patios and expansive gardens with mature trees, there is room to further customize with a swimming pool and spa to complete the ambience of a luxurious resort or family compound.
Additional features on the property include an additional three-car garage, wired alarm system, custom window treatments, all new plumbing, electrical insulation, HVAC, roofing and exterior plaster, copper gutters and downspouts.
The ideal location of this private estate is just minutes from the charming Los Gatos and Saratoga downtowns, commute routes to Silicon Valley and the Peninsula, and top-rated public and private schools. Price: $5,299,000.
