Portola Valley refuge within the Redwoods (10 minutes to Stanford)
One year lease available in a comfortable 2 BR/2 BA home in a unique setting. Surrounded by the hundreds of acres of a large private ranch, the home, with outside deck & hot tub, is nestled in an attractive hillside setting within the lower ranch's mature walnut grove and sports wonderful views of the neighboring Portola Valley hills and Town Center playing fields. Despite its quiet backdrop and peaceful natural surroundings, the home is within surprisingly close proximity to nearby shops and restaurants, I-280 freeway access, Sand Hill Road and Stanford Shopping Center and the Stanford University campus.
In short, this home is an exceedingly unique and a very rare find. The property on which the home sits is historic: It was once owned by Andrew Hallidie -- the man widely considered to be the inventor of the cable car, a technology he later sold to the city of San Francisco. Hallidie would run his prototype cable cars up and down the hill where the home sits. The home itself is the former walnut drying house for the mature walnut orchard within which it sits. The interior is constructed from felled redwood trees from the property itself.
