This estate property is also near beautiful parks and lakes and the many award-winning wineries that dot the South Valley.
Ideally located between the bustling energy of Silicon Valley and the natural beauty of the California coastal cities along the Monterey Bay, it is just a 10-minute drive to Highway 101.
This traditional estate, built in 1998 and almost at the end of the cul-de-sac, offers essentially single-level living with about 6,323 square feet of living space with four bedrooms and six bathrooms, office, and wine cellar/tasting room with custom racks and capacity for more than 500 bottles.
The upper floor is dedicated to fun and recreation. Here you will find a home theater with state-of-the-art equipment and its own box office, a full walk-around bar, poker room, and billiards room. There is also a one-bedroom, one-bathroom guesthouse. Car enthusiasts or hobbyists will be thrilled with an eight-car garage for the car collectors and an expansive motor court.
The resort-style backyard features a sprawling covered slate tile patio with fireplace, gorgeous pool and spa, wraparound patios, sprawling lawns, outdoor kitchen with rotisserie, retreat spaces, pergolas under the mighty oaks, and raised garden beds. Sit a spell anywhere and relish the views.
This stately home sits on more than 3 acres of level land and begins with a long driveway flanked by redwoods and manicured boxwood hedges to the double leaded glass front door and matching transom.
