Towering above Silicon Valley, atop the Los Gatos hills, Aztec Estate offers breathtaking panoramic views spanning the entire San Francisco Bay Area. Secluded in a private enclave at the end of a gated drive, the residence features soaring ceiling heights, a modern, open floor plan, sweeping entertainer’s decks, and sliding walls of glass that bring phenomenal views to the forefront of the living experience.

The main residence features superior quality and amenities throughout its 6 luxurious view suites, 6 full baths, and 2 half baths spanning approximately 10,309 sq. ft. of extraordinary living space, linear designs, and prominent shapes of a building design.  Engineering and utilitarian elements play into the timeless design of George Foy with materials like glass, stone, and steel used liberally in construction to showcase the natural beauty of this estate.  In addition, the estate includes a 2-bedroom, 2 full bath guest house, with approximately 1,800 sq. ft. Both residences feature the finest selection of materials and finishes, exquisite interior design, and exterior landscape.

Behind double glass doors, a light-infused, two-story atrium studded with trees leads to a series of intimate and grand-scale living and dining spaces. Soaring ceilings enhance the home’s incredible scale, while floor-to-ceiling window walls flood the spaces in natural light, immersing guests in the breathtaking views beyond. The gourmet chef’s kitchen, with a large center island and top-of-the-line appliances, features oversized custom glass windows.

Secluded in its own private wing, the monumental master suite is flanked by walls of glass, enveloping the space in sweeping vistas. An opulent marble bathroom boasts amazing ceiling heights and custom walk-in closets. With an office space, oversized fireplace, and sitting area, sliding doors lead to a sprawling outdoor lounge overlooking the pool below and sunset horizon.

The gated estate offers privacy, steel frame construction, wine cellar, billiards room with wet bar, 2 custom offices, and state-of-the-art technology. The estate’s resort-like grounds are as impressive as the residences. Aztec Estate offers the versatility to retreat in serenity or entertain elaborate and lavish events on the estate grounds which features an infinity pool, steam room and spa, tennis and basketball court, outdoor fire pit, manicured gardens, various terraces, and seating areas, fountains, waterfall, and wrap-around decks with endless views.

As seen on HGTV's Extreme Homes, Forbes magazine, and DuPont Registry, this stunning private estate with close and easy access to the heart of energetically charged Silicon Valley provides a natural buffer from the bustling lights below while sharing the neighborhood with several of Silicon Valley’s elite.

A unique combination of privacy, exclusivity, peacefulness, views, and luxury all in this one-of-a-kind modern masterpiece.

Now that Summer is close to ending, what do you see as the takeaways from the last six months?

COVID has been a game-changer and one with ebb and flow like the ocean tides. The State of Hawaii has seen strong interest from the continental United States. Internet site activity off the charts. The neighbor islands in particular, the resort communities along the Kohala Coastline on the Big Island of Hawaii and the Wailea/Makena and Kapalua/Kaanapali coastlines on Maui have enjoyed the majority of the “sight unseen facetime/zoom time" purchases.

We have seen multiple buyers fly to the Islands and quarantine in place for 14 days just to get to Hawaii with the objective of purchasing a property. I have had two buyers who have actually written offers with the contingency of being able to actually “quarantine in place” at the house they wished to buy based on what they had seen online or via virtual tours.

Recently we have seen a strong pick up of activity on the island of Oahu for larger single-family residences offering larger interior and exterior living areas, flexible floor plans, two home offices, pool/spa, and home fitness areas. Total single-family homes sold 5,000,000 or in escrow since March 2020 on Oahu total 17. Luxury residential condominium sales have slowed with the exception of the residential condominium development of Park Lane which has monopolized the sales and escrows with five sales over  $5,850,000 since March.

The takeaways are diligence, positivity, and creativity. Thinking out of the box to promote my listings and the Islands. Due to our strategic geographic location with both the US and the Pan Pacific Basin we are a prime destination. With the major shift to work at home – Why not work at home in Hawaii with our climate, lifestyle, outdoor living and being the 50th state we are positioned well. We are also seeing people who target the islands as we basically are islands in the middle of sea without the ability to drive across a border or from state to state. This has become very important to some who feel it limits the spread of COVID, political/cultural unrest and recently the issues with the fires

What activities took place on Labor Day this year around Honolulu?

Not much the Island of Oahu has been in a new lockdown due to the rise of COVID which has now started to back off due to the earlier restrictions Hawaii hopes to open its borders in October.
