In the heart of Los Trancos Woods lies a relatively flat parcel of 1.58 acres (68,900 sqft) that represents a tremendous opportunity to build your dream estate. The wooded lot sits at the end of Bonita Road, a small lane off Los Trancos Circle, offering complete privacy. Pockets of sunshine pour through the trees, creating beautiful dappled light. The original 2 BR & 1 BA cottage has a carport and large flagstone back patio. A secluded 1 BR studio cabin is at the rear of the property. There is a one car garage with additional storage and workroom space. Walk the lots meandering paths and imagine your own private retreat in the heart of Silicon Valley! Los Trancos Woods is part of unincorporated San Mateo County. Zoned for Portola Valley schools. 12-15 minutes from 280, Ladera Shopping Center, Portola Valley town center and more. Buyer to verify subdivision possibilities with County of San Mateo.
