Built by a Bay Area couple who relocated to build their dream home, this iconic estate incorporates Early California architecture and a quality level in line with the best homes of Atherton and Woodside at a fraction of those price points. Located midway between Silicon Valley and Lake Tahoe, it's the perfect primary home or weekend family/corporate retreat. Commuting to the Bay is easy using the Amtrak station or Lincoln Municipal Airport (both within 15 minutes). Located on the most sought-after street (and the most private lot) in the gated community of Verdera, golfers will love access to the 1st hole of Catta Verdera Country Club through their own backyard gate. Heritage oaks obscure any views into the backyard, while still allowing panoramic golf and sunset views. Built with an intense attention to quality materials, sellers spared no expense in their construction materials and design choices. The exterior of the home was built to be fire/earthquake resistant and energy efficient via 1-foot thick cement and steel walls. All windows and doors were hand sketched and custom designed specifically for the home. Hand troweled smooth walls and custom interior/exterior rafters were incorporated to model the Santa Barbara aesthetic. Appliances were chosen without budget constraints and include a La Cornue $100K stove and rotisserie, as well as multiple Sub-Zero glass front refrigerators and Miele appliances. The oversized gathering rooms transition easily from comfortable family living to grand entertaining. An engineer-designed floorplan ensures that all the rooms flow together and make sense. The main rooms, primary suite, offices & guest casita are on the 6000SF ground floor. Three bedrooms are upstairs. An underground basement features the ultimate movie room, bar and wine room. The backyard is a vision in beauty and privacy. Multiple patios provide relaxation points, all with serene views of nature. The 51-foot infinity edge pool was completely renovated last year and features a spa, Cabo shelf and is adjacent to an outdoor movie screen for movies by the pool. Dual garages with additional shop and covered breezeway total 1500SF. Curated, mature landscaping of flowers, trees and natural beauty in this yard is unmatched. Verdera is a welcoming community, with easy access to new schools, dining wineries & hiking trails. For those seeking an iconic primary or secondary estate that stands the test of time, this is the one to see.
