Chateau a les Nuage – ‘A Castle in the Clouds’ with Extraordinary Bay Views

16383 Aztec Ridge Drive Los Gatos, California 95030 United States

Located on one and a half fully fenced acres behind a gated entrance, this property enjoys dramatic water and land views across multiple counties, absolute privacy, and a luxurious ambiance. Crafted with distinctive French Normandy architecture, the grand main residence spans three levels, with nearly every room taking advantage of the remarkable views. From the Saratoga Hills to the San Francisco skyline, onto Mt. Tamalpais in Marin County, across downtown Oakland, east to Mt. Diablo in Contra Costa County, and south to San Jose, the sightlines are expansive. The breathtaking vistas captivate both during the day and at night, adorned by the dazzling sparkle of city lights. Even the President of the United States, on a recent visit in June 2023 to this exact street, acclaimed, “From here, you have incredible views.”

Recent upgrades throughout the home include the addition of luxurious Italian tile floors along with marble floors. Signature turrets in multiple rooms feature expansive windows, some equipped with built-in seating beneath the carefully curated walls of glass, and providing delightful vantage points. The main level of the home is designed for both grand entertaining and everyday living with a large living room and family room, while the lower level boasts a dedicated fitness center complete with a steam shower. Upstairs is divided into two distinct wings: one with the luxurious primary suite and the other offering four bedrooms plus a large office. Accompanying these spaces is an attached, yet private, Accessory Dwelling Unit with bedroom, bath, and full kitchen – and with equally stunning views. Additionally, a poolside cabana, garage parking for six cars, plus expansive and finished lower-level rooms for storage or flexible use further enhance the property's allure.

Outside, an inviting pool and spa, complemented by a built-in barbecue center and cabana, await hosting against the backdrop of panoramic views. A sprawling level lawn provides ample space for recreation, and walking paths encircle the property. A mere three miles away, downtown Los Gatos boasts boutique shops and restaurants. Plus, this property is ideally situated in proximity to excellent schools and Silicon Valley tech centers.
