Features of the PROPERTY
Built by renowned luxury builder RJ Dailey Construction and designed by CJW Architecture, this extraordinary estate reflects an intentional vision in which architecture, landscape, and lifestyle exist in complete harmony. Set on more than 4 acres in Portola Valley’s desirable Westridge neighborhood, every aspect of the property was thoughtfully conceived to embrace its exceptional setting, with disappearing walls of glass, expansive terraces, and nearly every room oriented to capture breathtaking views of the western hills.
The main residence lives predominantly on one level, with only a few steps leading to portions of the bedroom wing, plus a lower level designed for recreation and wellness. Long sightlines from one space to the next allow natural light to flow throughout, while pocket doors provide privacy when desired. Expansive indoor and outdoor gathering spaces create an effortless setting for both intimate daily living and entertaining on a grand scale.
Whether accommodating a large family, multigenerational living, or an individual who enjoys professional, philanthropic, and personal entertaining, the estate offers exceptional flexibility with 5 bedroom suites in the main residence, a 2-bedroom guest house, executive and day offices, recreation and wellness spaces, a craft room, and a barn. A 50-foot pool, expansive vegetable garden and orchard, 4-car garage with oversized carport, and direct access to scenic trails further enhance the property’s extraordinary appeal. Completing the lifestyle are acclaimed public and private schools, convenient proximity to Stanford University, and easy access to the innovation centers of Silicon Valley.
