Every window frames natural beauty, beckoning guests outdoors to discover its hidden treasures. As one enters through the grand, custom-forged iron gate, the pace of urban life falls away into a sanctuary of quietude, artisanal detail, and intimate legacy gardens. The Bay Area's best schools, parks, and restaurants are minutes away, as are the city and international airports. Here, five-star luxury and your own private park coexist in arguably the best temperate climate in the Bay Area. The landscape—home to hundreds of legacy oaks, redwoods, and native flora—creates instantaneous privacy and serenity from the moment of arrival. The home's custom cast-concrete surrounds lead to a generous foyer on perfect axis with the solarium, back lawn, lap pool, and pool house. Perfect symmetry abounds. To the left of the foyer, two muscular Honduran oak doors frame the archway into the formal living room, with its coffered ceiling and arched leaded glass window overlooking a garden reminiscent of Monet's Giverny.

Swim laps, lounge in the pool house, or sun yourself on the chaises while listening to babbling brook and birdsong. The scale rivals most luxury hotels.

Bordered by Indian Creek and an on-site well with automated irrigation, the estate is a self-sufficient natural oasis. What sets this property apart is not any single feature but the intentional convergence of all of them. Every decision—architectural, horticultural, structural—reflects a thoughtful vision that gives the home genuine character and soul. The result is a sublime harmony between house, garden, and nature.

The principal suite is particularly noteworthy, with a large skylight, a surround of windows, extensive closet space, and a walk-in shower. A beautiful outdoor shower with amazing back yard and canyon views completes this private oasis. Air conditioning isn’t often necessary in the canyon, but when it is warm outside, mini-split air conditioners (which also can function as heaters) serve the principal suite and the downstairs bedroom. A recently updated baseboard heating system warms the entire house with gentle radiant heat. A whole-house Generac generator stands by to provide emergency power, and multiple water tanks store a generous supply for both drinking and irrigation. The two parcels are supplied by water from a shared neighborhood well, and one of the two parcels has a private well in addition. A leased 500-gallon propane tank provides energy for the kitchen cook-top, the 75-gallon water heater, and the radiant heating system. Solar panels power the independent well. One family spent a lifetime developing and loving this special place, with its comfortable lifestyle, great neighbors, and room to play and explore. A city’s comforts are close at hand, yet a city’s cares are worlds away.
