Over 1.6 AC of mostly flat land with old, mostly not habitable House, Cottage, Garage and Carport, comfortably spread throughout the property. In Feb 2026, San Mateo County approved a 2 lot subdivision, and work is ongoing to complete the final map recording. The house is available prior to recording of the subdivision as a single lot for buyers who might want more flexibility in what they do with the property. Extensive geological, geotechnical, arborist, historical, biological and civil reports and plans come with the property.

Vista Verde, located between Alpine Road and Portola Road, is a hillside and residential Portola Valley neighborhood with winding lanes and broad ridge views. The area reads as quiet and rural, with long driveways, oak-studded lots, and a mix of mid-century and contemporary homes set back from the road. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Portola Road & Alpine Road junction, where a small-town cluster of coffee, local dining, and everyday errands sets the tone. Community pillars include Rossotti’s Alpine Inn, the Portola Valley Town Center, and the Portola Valley Theatre. Trailheads and open-space edges shape daily rhythms, with equestrian routes and shaded walks threading into the hills. Evenings feel low-key, with dark skies and the soundscape of wind in the trees.
