This spectacular executive retreat in the Palo Alto Hills offers a unique opportunity to complete the design to your exact specifications. Perfectly situated on approximately 3.4 acres, the two-parcel property enjoys truly panoramic views of unspoiled open space from the western hills to San Francisco Bay. An independent 2-bedroom/2-bathroom fully equipped guesthouse of approximately 1704 sq ft is ready for occupancy, while the main residence awaits all interior finishing to complete the approximately 12,390 sq ft of living space. Conceived by the architectural firm of Bergtraum-Evard, and built by Tincher Construction, the main 5-bedroom/5-bathroom + 2 half baths residence features a geothermal energy system for heating and cooling, custom mahogany windows and doors, a slate roof, an enormous home theatre, designed by Keith Yates, with a 12 foot screen and seating for 14, soaring library and family room, exercise and massage salon, dual offices highlighted by a top-story "crow's nest" complete with observation deck, and an elevator. Supported by massive stone walls that visually link the living spaces to the natural surroundings, the structure features elegant curved expanses of windowed walls. Breathtaking views - including rolling hills forested with oaks, western vistas that showcase stunning sunsets, and the sparkling blue of the Bay - extend to the horizon and span all the directions of the compass. Multiple entertainment lanais connect with a dramatic view plaza that features a tumbling waterfall, swimming pool and spa, and the guest house beyond. The professionally landscaped grounds feature vast lawns, terraced gardens, gravel driveways, low-profile custom lighting, irrigation systems, and electronically gated entrance. With timeless architecture and future-thinking technology, plus unparalleled engineering and construction quality already in place, this incomparable estate elevates life to an exclusive art form.
