About This Home
A Masterpiece of Redwood Living: The Ultimate Mountain Sanctuary. Nestled within the private Middleton community and wrapped in the ancient groves of Portola Redwoods State Park, this architectural gem offers an unparalleled blend of mid-century soul and modern luxury. Set on nearly 4 private acres, the estate features a meticulously updated 1,604 sq. ft. main residence and a detached 755 sq. ft. guest studio. The main home is a masterclass in design, featuring soaring vaulted open-beam ceilings, warm hardwood floors, and a massive riverstone hearth with a wood-burning fireplace. Modern comforts include radiant floor heating, a gourmet kitchen with gas appliances, and skylights that bathe the redwood interiors in natural light. The primary suite serves as a true retreat with an oversized en-suite bath and high-end finishes. The separate guest house provides a self-contained studio spaceideal for a high-end home office or creative studio. Outside, enjoy over 2,000 sq. ft. of premium Ipe decking, a jetted spa, two sun-drenched meadows, a seasonal creek, and private trails. Located at the end of a quiet road just a short drive from Silicon Valley, this is a rare opportunity to own a secluded forest legacy
