Set on 5.77 acres among ten mature redwoods, this five-bedroom, five-bath estate marries Alpine-inspired architecture with sweeping mountain and city-light views. The 6,000-square-foot residence is defined by vaulted ceilings, clerestory windows, and more than 5,000 square feet of reinforced Trex decking arranged across multiple levels. Open gathering rooms flow to leisure decks, creating an indoor-outdoor layout suited to both daily living and entertaining. A wine room, office, gym, and sauna complement the main living spaces. Each bedroom is ensuite and flooded with natural light. Two wells, an upgraded generator, LED lighting throughout, and Booker Creek water rights support self-sufficiency on a hillside site that feels remote yet lies minutes from Saratoga Village and the valley floor.
Saratoga occupies the forested foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains, a landscape marked by winding roads, substantial lots, and a canopy of oak and redwood. This is car-dependent terrain—daily errands require a vehicle—but the setting rewards with privacy and proximity to trail systems. Commutes run 30 minutes to Downtown San Jose, 31 minutes to Stanford University, and 48 minutes to San Francisco International Airport. The city's historic Village serves as the local anchor, and families have access to highly rated public schools: Saratoga Elementary (GreatSchools 9/10), Redwood Middle (9/10), and Saratoga High (10/10). Nearby conservation land and open space preserve the hill country character.
Walk Score® rates an address from 0–100 by how easily everyday errands — groceries, coffee, dining, school pickup — can be done on foot. 50+ means some errands can be walked, 70+ means most can, and 90+ is a rare walker's paradise. Transit and Bike scores read the same way for public transportation and cycling.

Building client relationships is the foundation of my real estate practice. I come from a real estate family with parents that owned a real estate firm and a brother who is a broker. I started showing properties when I was in high school so I guess you could say real estate is in my blood. I understand that buying or selling a home is one of the most significant financial and emotional decisions which is why I dedicate my attention and resources exclusively to your needs.
Being your advocate, I work tirelessly to negotiate the best possible terms ensuring you achieve your goals with confidence. As a lifelong Bay Area native, I bring an intimate understanding of our diverse neighborhoods, market dynamics, and local trends. I stay ahead of our ever-evolving real estate landscape through continuous education and market analysis.
My genuine passion for helping my clients is what drives my work. I take pride in understanding what matters most, whether it’s schools, commute times, neighborhood, or specific home features. My approach is built on honesty, integrity, and transparent communication. I listen carefully proactively to overcome obstacles and achieve successful outcomes.
