If your goal is to live in a grand home, with spacious gardens, its own swimming pool, its own tennis court, and more, you are almost certainly considering Atherton.
Atherton, with its typical home providing all of the above, is a luxurious tranquil town. Having been incorporated decades ago with the goal of protecting its life style, Atherton has no commercial zoning. This foresight is serving its residents well decades later. While many Silicon Valley cities are being pressured to build more and higher density homes to reach a balance between jobs and homes, Atherton is perfectly poised to keep its charming luxurious lifestyle.
With an estate large enough to lavishly entertain large groups of friends and business partners, you may think you have no use for public parks. However if you want to casually meet your neighbors the charming municipally-owned 22 acre Holbrook - Palmer Park is a wonderful place. Walking paths, gardens, tennis courts, playground, and ball field are all present. The Main House, Jennings Pavilion, and Carriage House are all available for rental for entertaining.
Perhaps you take pleasure in equestrian or other activities which you don't think are available in a residential neighborhood in the center of Silicon Valley. Look into the privately operated Menlo Circus Club. Horseback riding may be a walk away from your home.
For offer here is an estate with ample land to build a home matching your specific needs, presenting the ambiance you choose. Although the estate already has an ample home (4 beds, 3 baths, 3,080 sf), most expected buyers for this estate are believed to have the means and desire to do as they choose. The value of this home is thus expected to be the value of the land itself.
