Timber, Craft, and Mountain Views in Portola Valley

Tucked into the trees of Portola Valley, this handcrafted four-bedroom, two-bath home blends European craftsmanship with classic California character. Designed and built by a German artisan, its... high-pitched ceilings, exposed timber beams, and a commanding stone fireplace with woodburning stove creates a warm and memorable heart to the home.

A generous kitchen flows into a parquet-floored dining room perfect for laid-back dinners or hosting friends after a morning on the trails. The primary suite features an ensuite, while a flexible fourth bedroom or office and utility room occupy the lower level, opening to a long covered patio.
Upstairs, a sunlit wraparound deck showcases panoramic views of the surrounding canopy and distant peaks ideal for morning coffee, evening wine, or simply soaking in the quiet beauty of Portola Valley.

With timeless materials, thoughtful design, and a setting that feels both elevated and rooted in nature, this is one of those homes that stays with you. Read More
