Property Description
Situated on nearly 12 acres of flat, tranquil, private land, Villa del Prato comprises three structures, each fit for purpose: a 12,000-square-foot family home; a 6,500-square-foot entertainment or business building; and a 2,000-square-foot pool house for a total of more than 20,000 square feet of livable space. Built in 2021 and designed by the award-winning team of Andrew Skurman and Suzanne Tucker, there is no other property like it in Portola Valley or the Bay Area.
Inspired by classical Italian villas, the stunning four-bedroom family home (with five full baths and two powder rooms) is the heart of this grand estate. Featuring airy indoor-outdoor loggias, soaring 20-foot ceilings, arching windows, walnut interior finishings, and elegant stonework, the home evokes the Tuscan countryside. Outside, mahogany rafter tails, solid Italian stone columns, and antique clay roof tiles show care and consideration in craftsmanship. Radiant under-floor heating and smart-home controlled HVAC systems ensure year-round comfort.
The two-level home offers unique amenities, including an elevator, bespoke eat-in kitchen with spacious island and walk-in pantry, 3,500-bottle wine cave, family room with raised stage, and a 900-square-foot dressing suite designed to resemble a Chanel boutique that doubles as a safe room, with bullet- and bomb-proof glass, walls, and doors.
The master suite occupies its own wing, complete with a luxurious his-and-hers bathroom, soaking tub with ceiling-height windows, well-appointed home office with built-in storage, and private loggia. A breathtaking spiral staircase leads to the lower level and two dressing suites.
Beyond the main home, the pool house offers a tranquil retreat for guests or your teens. Enjoy a fully-equipped gym, stunning Great Room with 16-foot ceilings and a gourmet kitchen, plush bedroom, laundry room, and two full bathrooms. Outside, a resort-style pool and expansive, private grounds round out the feeling of a five-star hotel experience.
The property is subdivided into three plots, though no gates or walls split the compound. Each building comes complete with its own address, as well as separate mechanical systems infrastructure, backup propane and power generators, and irrigation wells. Additional modern amenities include: hospital-grade HEPA filters for year-round clean air (including during fire season); gated entryway, state-of-the-art video security, and commercial skyscraper-quality materials for a secure exterior; and elaborate audio-visual architecture, including 24 app-controlled audio zones for an immersive sound experience. Five garages make this sprawling estate a car-collector’s dream.
The entertainment/business building offers a unique opportunity for customization. Fully fitted out with electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and other key systems, the elegant structure is a playground for your imagination. Picture it as a ballroom, home office, conference center, staff housing, or launchpad for your next startup. The lower level includes space for a 7,500+ bottle wine collection and, with nearly 12-foot-high ceilings, could even act as a nightclub.
Villa del Prato is a rare jewel ready for its next owner. Enjoy the feeling of your own boutique hotel in a rural oasis, just minutes from the bustle and commerce of Silicon Valley.

Incorporated in 1964, Portola Valley began as an affordable location for artists and progressive academics looking for close proximity to Stanford and Palo Alto. Today, Portola Valley maintains its simple charm despite being listed consistently among the wealthiest places to live in the U.S.
Portola Valley offers a town experience unique in Silicon Valley. Public libraries, parks and recreational trails are numerous and well-supported. The outdoors plays a central role and residents fiercely protect their open space. The Portola Valley Town Center integrates seamlessly into its scenic surroundings and has won numerous awards for design and sustainability.
The town trail system lies at the very heart of the community, providing hiking, biking and equestrian opportunities for the town’s citizens, but also serving as an important walking tie to neighbors, shopping and city schools. The Windy Hill Open Space Preserve offers additional backcountry access and incredible scenery. Horses and equestrian activity are present throughout town with multiple boarding and riding clubs, as well as horse trails that traverse the community and extend into portions of the Mid-Peninsula Open Space District.
The unobtrusive Valley Center is anchored by the locally-owned Robert’s Market. Here both residents and cycling visitors gather to “fuel up” on groceries, prepared gourmet meals and coffee. A gas station, hardware store, and professional services offices round out the center.
Portola Valley is a great combination of seclusion, outdoor living, natural environment and convenience. It’s a place that ought to be hundreds of mile away, but lies only a couple of minutes from everything on the Peninsula. Its rural, outdoor lifestyle offers sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of Silicon Valley.
