One of the nation’s finest private residences, the hand-crafted Villa Lauriston is incomparable and unique. Commissioned in the 1920’s, this 20 room Florentine Villa features the finest historic materials and artifacts from San Francisco mansions and European palaces and churches. This architectural jewel is set in a private 28.4 acre park-like parcel, surrounded by 1,000 acres dedicated as open space lands in perpetuity. Villa Lauriston is located in the heart of Silicon Valley, and the region’s major airports, the San Francisco International airport and San Jose International airport are only 45 minutes away. Modern conveniences have been blended with the romantic finishes and furnishings from the past to create an environment that is elegant enough for entertaining dignitaries, yet comfortable and conducive to gatherings of family and friends.
The property includes the main residence, a cottage or caretaker’s house, four car garage, and a estate landscape featuring a one acre main meadow with dolphin fountain and two river god sculptures, reflecting pond, conservatory/sunken garden with fountain, old swimming pool/stage, two acre 600-vine vineyard, vegetable garden and cutting flower beds, tennis court, picnic area with arbor, natural waterfall and stream, bee hives, lavender/Italian cypress path, and much more.
