One of the last great estates in Los Gatos. This expansive property's living space is just under 10,000 sq ft and offers 7 bedrooms and 6.5 bathrooms, set on a sprawling 10.6-acre lot. The estate's stunning architecture and meticulously designed grounds provide a luxurious sanctuary, featuring white stucco walls, stylish arches, and intricate detailing reminiscent of European grandeur. The groundwork is in place for two additional lots, offering the potential to create a magnificent family estate with three homes or selling separately to develop. For car enthusiasts, the 8-car garage offers ample space, while the center courtyard provides a perfect venue for large outdoor events such as weddings, parties, and fundraisers. Recreational facilities include a meticulously maintained sports court and a large swimming pool adorned with decorative tiles, surrounded by a sun-drenched patio ideal for relaxation and entertainment. The landscape features a mix of neatly trimmed lawns and natural wooded areas, offering both aesthetic appeal and functional opportunities. Secret gardens and tranquil settings enhance the property's allure, with poolside lounging areas perfect for unwinding.

How insights can help you

Interest rate

If the seller has a low interest rate, they may be tempted to rent the property out if they can't get the price they have in mind.

Motivation

If the seller already got a job in a different city, they may feel pressure to sell quickly to free up cash for a new home.

Equity

If the seller stands to receive a large amount of cash when they sell the property, they might be willing to negotiate on the offer price.
