Set on two acres of picturesque rolling hills dotted with California oaks, this country manor is architecturally designed to evoke the beauty and appeal of a French country estate. Inside and out, the home embodies elegance and charm with rustic sophistication. The exterior is a harmonious blend of natural stone and stucco siding, complemented by a high-pitched Vermont slate roof. Large arched windows and handcrafted oak timber doors enhance the sense of history and authenticity. The design features a masterfully constructed covered bridge, made from reclaimed barn wood and bluestone flooring, connecting the round turret of the main home to the upper-level guest quarters above one of two garages. Handcrafted wrought iron railings, skillfully forged by a blacksmith, adorn the bridge, the front porch, and stairways from the motor court, adding artistic detail at every corner.
Inside, the home exudes rustic grandeur with lofty ceilings constructed from hand-hewn century-old beam timbers. Hickory hardwood and antique stone imported from a French chateau span the floors, offering a foundation of history and refinement reminiscent of a bygone era. A sense of grandeur permeates the public areas, which include a spacious formal living room, a grand formal dining room, and a tremendous kitchen and family room. Imported French chandeliers adorn the ceilings, and manorial fireplaces enhance the setting, where each space retains its distinct allure. A temperature-controlled wine room stands ready for the finest collection, and numerous French doors open the spaces to the grounds for indoor/outdoor living.
Personal accommodations begin with a masterfully designed library entirely built of cherry wood and custom outfitted for two executives, plus space for a game table, providing ample room for professional endeavors and personal pursuits. The primary bedroom suite is a haven of comfort and beauty with a private fountain patio, dual closets, and a luxurious bathroom balancing functionality and style. Two additional bedroom suites are located in the main residence, while the separate guest quarters are found at the end of the covered bridge.
Outside, the meticulously landscaped gardens enhance the natural beauty of the oak tree terrain, with bursts of color and texture creating a serene backdrop for outdoor living. Multiple patios designed for relaxation and entertainment offer ample space for gatherings, and two cascading water features provide the soothing sound of a calm running stream.
Located just minutes from the heart of Silicon Valley, this country manor harmoniously blends architectural splendor, natural beauty, and modern conveniences. It stands as a testament to refined living, where the allure of the past meets the dynamism of the present, creating a sanctuary that is both timeless and contemporary.
