About This Home
Beautiful (Bonita!) very large property in upper Los Trancos Woods. Over 1.6 AC of mostly flat land with old, mostly not habitable House, Cottage, Garage and Carport, comfortably spread throughout the property. In Feb 2026, San Mateo County approved a 2 lot subdivision, and work is ongoing to complete the final map recording. The house is available prior to recording of the subdivision as a single lot for buyers who might want more flexibility in what they do with the property. Extensive geological, geotechnical, arborist, historical, biological and civil reports and plans come with the property.
