Modernist Masterpiece in Woodside

Located at the end of a quiet lane, this estate designed by the highly acclaimed architect, Howard J. Backen, was inspired by Mexican architects Luis Barragan & Ricardo Legoretta, masters of shapely geometric buildings that embrace their natural settings. The home offers a truly seamless indoor-outdoor living experience with staggering views of the Santa Cruz Mountains. Rectilinear architecture featuring floor-to-ceiling glass doors transform the living areas into expansive outdoor spaces with limestone terraces and magnificent live oaks. Outside, a lap pool with an infinity edge and an antique French fireplace create a truly stunning setting for entertaining. Near Woodside town center, bordering Huddart County Park on one side and San Francisco Peninsula watershed land on the other. This private oasis is 10 miles from Stanford University and 40 minutes to San Francisco.

Exceptional Woodside location at the end of bucolic Raymundo Drive, set on four rolling acres punctuated with magnificent live oaks. The residence is a private haven set back from the road and abutting Huddart County Park, and San Francisco Peninsula watershed land.

WOODSIDE, CA

Woodside residents value secluded outdoor living while enjoying a strong sense of community. Separated from the ocean by the Santa Cruz Mountains, towering redwoods dominate its western hills, with oaks and eucalyptus in the lower areas. Residents value its privacy, access to nature, large parcels of land and diverse architecture.

This town of just over 5,000 enjoys a rural lifestyle with local trails, horse properties, open space preserves, an artists’ colony and summer jazz at the beautiful Filoli Garden. Popular cycling routes draw cyclists in droves on the weekends along Cañada Road, Old La Honda Road, Kings Mountain Road, Skyline Boulevard and Highway 84. Woodside is also home to several open space preserves, including Purisima Open Space, Huddart County Park, the Phleger Estate and Skeggs Point.

The small business district includes Roberts Market, a hardware and horse tack store, and a few restaurants, including the iconic Buck’s of Woodside, where many venture capital deals have been inked. Woodside is home to a mix of Silicon Valley movers and shakers – CEOs and venture capitalists, as well as famed musicians and artists.
