An architectural tour de force, Mora House offers the sophistication and prestige of a world-class contemporary estate with unprecedented space, privacy and pristine natural beauty unique to its coveted Los Altos Hills location.

Surrounded by approximately 4,000 acres of open space and breathtaking hiking, biking and equestrian trails, the home is immersed in nature yet just 30 minutes to San Francisco. Showcasing jaw-dropping panoramas of the San Francisco Bay, East Bay mountains and Silicon Valley, the 9,677-square-foot main residence showcases a site-specific design adjacent to thousands of open-space acres of Rancho San Antonio.

Masterfully designed by Robert Swatt of the award-winning Swatt | Miers team, with interiors by Connie Wong, the home showcases soaring 24-foot ceilings and a seamless indoor-outdoor connection. A phenomenal German-engineered kitchen boasts Gaggenau appliances, a walk-in pantry, built-in espresso machines, Silestone countertops and Poggen Pohl cabinets. The kitchen transitions seamlessly to both formal and informal living and dining spaces. Sliding Fleetwood walls of glass off both master suites, the living room, family room and upper bedrooms foster a harmonious flow to gracious terraces lined with stainless steel-capped glass and German, White Oak, wide-plank floors.

Upstairs, two exceptional master suites feature linear fireplaces, spacious walk-in closets and exquisite bathrooms with radiant-heated floors and freestanding, solid surfaced bathtubs imported from Spain. Private decks showcase views stretching from the wildlife preserve to the lights of San Francisco, including distant views of Apple’s new ‘Spaceship’ campus from the rear decks. An expansive, lower entertainer’s lower level includes a surround-sound home theatre with custom theatre chairs and stadium seating, a temperature-controlled walk-in wine cellar, family room with bar and fitness center.

A zero-edge infinity pool and spa spill over the hillside, while expansive sunlit decks lead to a succession of terraced lawns, a putting green and landscaped gardens studded with mature trees. A masterpiece in its own right, a separate 800-square-foot guest house holds a full kitchen, family room and additional pool.
