Château de la Vue | Elevated above Los Gatos, boasts over 9,500 sq. ft. of living space and presides over an ultra-private 2-acre estate where panoramic 180° views stretch from the lights of Silicon Valley to the skyline of San Francisco. This dual-gated compound offers an unmatched blend of security, tranquility, and architectural significance just minutes from downtown Los Gatos. The main residence spans over 7,000 sq. ft. with 4 bedrooms accompanied by 5 bathrooms and an executive office. The interior balances timeless luxury with dramatic indoor-outdoor flow, creating seamless entertaining experiences across expansive terraces, views, and landscaped grounds. A separate, over 2,200 sq. ft. guest house, accessed via its own gated driveway delivers full dual-living flexibility across two levels, each with its own kitchen, accompanied by 1 bedroom and 3 bathrooms. Ideal for multigenerational living or a private retreat. Resort-style amenities include a 75-foot lap pool and spa, movie theater, gym, and oversized 3-car garage.. Modern regulations make replication of an estate of this size, above ground, virtually impossible today. Chateau De La Vue is a generational opportunity to own one of Silicon Valleys most iconic, irreplaceable estates!

Condition Rating
Good
This luxury estate, built in 1988, is exceptionally well-maintained and presents a 'move-in ready' condition. The kitchen features high-end, modern stainless steel appliances (double oven, gas range, built-in refrigerator/wine fridge), custom wood cabinetry, and stone countertops, all appearing to be in excellent condition. The bathrooms showcase high-quality materials such as extensive tiling, glass-enclosed showers, and jetted tubs, with stone countertops and traditional fixtures. While the overall aesthetic leans towards a timeless, traditional luxury rather than a cutting-edge modern design, the quality of materials and apparent upkeep are outstanding. The hardwood floors throughout are pristine, and light fixtures are appropriate for the style. Given the property's age and the visible updates, it appears to have undergone an extensive renovation within the last 5 to 15 years, aligning perfectly with the 'Good' score criteria for properties extensively renovated within that timeframe, offering minimal wear and tear and functional major systems.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Unrivaled Views & Privacy: The property boasts panoramic 180° views stretching from Silicon Valley to the San Francisco skyline, complemented by a dual-gated, ultra-private 2-acre estate, ensuring exclusivity and breathtaking scenery.
Exceptional Size & Irreplaceability: With over 9,500 sq. ft. of living space on a 2-acre lot, this estate is described as virtually impossible to replicate under modern regulations, positioning it as a unique and generational asset.
Comprehensive Dual-Living Guest House: A separate, fully equipped 2,200+ sq. ft. guest house with its own kitchen offers significant flexibility for multi-generational living, staff accommodation, or a private retreat.
Resort-Style Amenities: The estate features a 75-foot lap pool, spa, movie theater, gym, and an oversized 3-car garage, providing a luxurious and comprehensive lifestyle experience.
Prime Elevated Location: Elevated above Los Gatos, the property offers a tranquil and secure setting while remaining just minutes from downtown amenities, blending seclusion with convenience.

Cons

Significant Price Reductions: The property has undergone multiple substantial price drops from its original listing of $9.998M to $7.998M, which may indicate initial overpricing or market resistance.
Property Age: Built in 1988, the property is 36 years old. While described as having 'timeless luxury,' some systems or aesthetics may require updates to meet contemporary buyer preferences.
High Maintenance & Operational Costs: An estate of this size, with extensive living space, 2 acres of land, and numerous luxury amenities, will inherently incur substantial ongoing maintenance and operational expenses.
