Serene retreat in Portola valley Ranch
Located in one of Silicon Valley’s most desirable residential enclaves, Portola Valley Ranch, amid 350 acres of private open space preserve, this refined contemporary home fully embraces its natural surroundings. Clean architectural lines, sliding glass doors and clerestory windows define the expansive living / dining great room and suffuse it with light. Beautiful Australian eucalyptus flooring throughout the home unifies it with a warm, welcoming aesthetic. Custom cherry cabinetry accentuated by walnut trim in the chef’s kitchen and adjacent family room create an inviting setting for cooking while gathering with family and friends. The oversized primary bedroom with a front balcony that extends the length of the room has a marvelous view of mature trees framing the western hills. Two additional bedrooms, both opening to the outdoors, share the bright hall bath. The oversized two car garage includes an EV charger and a storage closet ideal for a wine collector. Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in this special community offering a clubhouse, tennis courts, pools, exercise facilities, a vineyard, a playground and hiking trails, this serene retreat feels miles away but is conveniently located just minutes from highway 280 and Stanford University. Don’t miss it!

Neighborhood
Portola Valley is situated in the San Francisco Peninsula, about 35 miles south of San Francisco and 4 miles west of Stanford University. The town got its name from Gaspar de Portolà, the Spanish explorer who led the first European land expedition to northern California in 1769.
The area is primarily residential, characterized by its rural and natural setting. Portola Valley doesn't have a traditional downtown or central business district. Instead, it has two small commercial areas: one near the intersection of Alpine and Portola Roads, and another at Ladera Shopping Center.
Transportation in Portola Valley is primarily car-dependent due to its rural nature. Public transit options are limited, but there are some SamTrans bus services connecting the town to nearby areas.
The architecture in Portola Valley is diverse but tends towards upscale single-family homes. Many houses are custom-built, ranging from mid-century modern designs to contemporary estates. The town has strict zoning laws to preserve its rural character, often requiring large lot sizes and limiting commercial development.
Portola Valley is considered a desirable place to live for several reasons. It offers a quiet, semi-rural lifestyle while still being close to Silicon Valley and major urban centers. The town is known for its schools, which are part of the Portola Valley School District.
The natural environment is a significant feature of Portola Valley. The town is situated in a landscape of rolling hills, oak woodlands, and grasslands. It borders several open space preserves, providing residents with easy access to hiking and equestrian trails. The town has policies to protect wildlife corridors, preserve open spaces, and promote green building practices.
The community in Portola Valley is generally affluent, with many residents working in nearby tech industries or at Stanford University. Despite its wealth, the town maintains a low-key, nature-oriented atmosphere, with community events often centered around outdoor activities and environmental education.
