Set in the redwood-covered hills just above Los Gatos, this private ~8-acre retreat offers a rare blend of usable land, natural beauty, and craftsmanship. Surrounded by mature forest and filtered light, the setting feels worlds away, yet remains minutes from town. The home features five bedrooms, exposed Douglas fir beams, hardwood floors, and expansive windows that bring in natural light and forest views. Multiple living areas and two fireplaces create inviting spaces, while the kitchen serves as a true gathering place. Outdoor decks extend the living experience, ideal for taking in coastal fog rolling through the trees. The land is a defining feature, with approximately eight acres of redwood forest offering privacy, scale, and room to explore. Meandering paths, natural clearings, and a fire pit nestled among the trees create a peaceful setting. Additional structures add versatility, including a detached studio with private entrance for office or creative use, and a separate cottage for extended living, rental potential, or guest space. Located approximately 10 minutes from downtown Los Gatos and served by top-rated Los Gatos High and Loma Prieta/CT English schools. ~10 minutes to Hwy 17 for easy Silicon Valley and Santa Cruz access.
