About this home

Luxurious, elegant and very gracious estate nestled in a gated compound above Scotts Valley. Behind a second gate the driveway curves around a forested hill that ensures privacy from the road and leads to the porte cochere entrance. This gorgeously spacious home has vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and multiple fireplaces. Crafted doors and grand windows in every room frame tranquil views of sylvan mountains descending to the sea. A spacious chef's Viking equipped kitchen, family room, dining and living rooms, all with splendid views, will generously host large parties. French doors open to a flagstone terrace. Two master bedrooms with baths en suite and dressing areas provide panoramic living without curtains. Double doors from the main bedroom lead to the spa and outdoor fireplace. Spacious and gracious luxury with exquisite privacy, without isolation. Easy access to 17 northbound, and southbound via Branciforte or Granite Creek over crossings. Minutes to the beach or Los Gatos!!!
