Extraordinary in provenance, scale, and preservation, this landmark estate spans nearly 25 acres, located on land protected by Peninsula Open Space Trust and surrounded by Golden Gate National Recreation Area parkland – offering unmatched privacy yet just 20 minutes from San Francisco International Airport. Commissioned in 1927 as the debut residential work of renowned architect Gardner Dailey, the grand estate is on the market for the first time since 1991. Over a period of decades, the entire property has been thoughtfully restored with reverence for its heritage and a commitment to enduring quality.

The main residence of almost 9,000 square feet has been brought forward for the next century with seismic retrofitting, state-of-the-art infrastructure, and artisan-level craftsmanship throughout. Original architectural details were preserved and honored at every turn, from redwood and French oak paneling and custom millwork to historic fireplaces and vintage glass windows. Continuing beyond the main residence is a two-story guest/caretaker’s house added in 1994, a 12-car motor facility with workshop space, a flexible-use studio above a detached garage, and a restored lath/greenhouse. No detail has been overlooked, inside or out. From copper plumbing and roofing to rainwater catchment, backup generator, and 16 wells, every system has been reimagined with longevity in mind.

The heritage grounds are a living piece of California history. Originally designed by the same landscape architect responsible for the adjacent Filoli estate, the gardens include a pool by Thomas Church, redwood groves, a year-round creek, meandering paths, heritage roses, a tennis court, and a one-acre apple orchard dating back a century. Extensive walking trails throughout the private acreage are complemented by direct access to miles of renowned public hiking trails in the area.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to live within a rare expanse of natural beauty, wrapped in complete privacy, where historic architecture and legacy gardens have been renewed with clarity of purpose: to last for another hundred years.
