WOODSIDE COMMUNITY
Nestled beneath the Santa Cruz mountains in central California, mid-way between San Francisco and Silicon Valley, the community of Woodside is truly the hidden gem of the peninsula.
Historically a community of high-income owners with many of its residents, successful professionals, executives, and individuals associated with the tech industry, this affluent enclave is a sanctuary for those who value privacy and luxury. Sprawling across acres of meticulously landscaped grounds, the community is home to an array of grand estates, each a testament to opulence and architectural splendor.
The natural beauty provides open spaces and private wooded enclaves preserving a rural environment, as well as a focus on a strong equestrian culture, while being within minutes of the tech capital of the world and all the beauty and cultural offerings of the cosmopolitan city of San Francisco.
Regal Country Manor
on 5 Acres in Central Woodside
16,000± SQFT | 34 Rooms | 7 Bedrooms | 9 Bathrooms
Majestically situated on a flat 5-acre plot in the town of Woodside, sits this exquisitely designed Northern California estate. A magnificent Tudor manor close to Silicon Valley, the iconic city of San Francisco, Stanford University, and Filoli Mansion, which hosted President Biden and President Xi JingPing at the APEC summit.
A brick privacy wall with gated entrance surrounds the entire property, and a cobblestone driveway flanked by parterre gardens of boxwoods and roses, leads to the grand entrance. Massive redwoods and fir trees along with heritage oaks, olive trees, flowering fruit trees, and graceful Japanese Maples planted throughout the property along meandering pathways, create a private and peaceful retreat, offering a complete escape, a short distance from three international airports.
Guests enter through the grand entry hall and gallery, with soaring 24-foot ceilings, looking into the interior courtyard and pool beyond. Formal dining and living areas adjacent to the grand hall, overlook the terrace and formal gardens.
Two family rooms, on each side of the courtyard, are framed by leaded glass French doors, and then beyond to the indoor 2,200-square-foot pool pavilion complete with sauna and full bar. The well thought out design creates an open and airy atmosphere throughout the entire residence.
The chef’s gourmet kitchen is open to the spacious, informal dining area. This beautiful room with an open beam turreted ceiling is surrounded by windows, overlooking gardens of roses and wisteria.
A most elegant primary suite, also with a pitched and turreted ceiling, is located on the south wing, along with three additional en-suite guest rooms, creating a very comfortable living space on the lower level.
A very special and dramatic paneled library or den, with 20ft turreted ceiling, is located on the north wing of the home. An adjacent conference room and bath, provides convenience and privacy for business meetings.
The upper level boasts a central gallery overlooking the lower level and pool, with the enormous primary suite occupying the entire north wing of the home. Three additional upper level guest suites are located on the south wing, with spectacular views of the gardens and coastal hills.
A two story, four-car garage with cellar below, which could easily be converted into a large wine cellar, connects to the house through the port-a-cochere. The property also boasts a rustic and historic three-bedroom guest house and barn, which was once used as a bunkhouse!
This rare 16,000-square-foot home with seven bedrooms and nine baths, offers an unrivaled amount of living space both indoors and out. In fact, the city of Woodside no longer approves homes of this size within the city limits. The property also has an agricultural well, which serves the expansive lawns and landscaping.
Arched doorways, leaded glass windows, coffered ceilings, heavy wainscotting, rich wood paneling, deep crown moldings and turreted open beam ceilings, create a refined balance of dramatic formality, yet comfortable ambiance. Perfect for entertaining, or family gatherings, this impressive landmark property is ready for a new legacy!
