Belmont, California, USA 94002

The Preserve (outlined in yellow and only partly seen in this view) is surrounded by public and de facto private open space. The lines through undeveloped areas on Sugarloaf Mountain (seen to the left of the Preserve) and toward the right foreground are trail networks. Yet it’s just 3 minutes to Route 92, 5 minutes to I-280, and 8 minutes to US 101. It’s 14 miles to Sand Hill Road in Menlo Park and 26 miles to downtown San Francisco.

The homesite itself (shown in red above) is a knoll on a ridge. The forested Preserve extends well below and to both sides of the house, so you will never have neighbors on three sides. In fact, when looking toward the Bay, the nearest homes you can see are over 600 feet away. No homes are visible looking toward Sugarloaf. Open space preservation guarantees your views and privacy: no more homes can be built in your sweeping views or above your home.
