Dazzling ‘legacy’ ranch surrounded by California beauty lists for $12M. Take a look

A property surrounded by the rolling California hills has landed on the real estate market in Woodside for $12 million.

“Nestled amongst an expanse of coastal valleys and ridges, this legacy 162+ acre ranch, which has been in the same family for nearly a century, can now be yours,” the listing on Sotheby’s International Realty says.

“The property features a large country home, barn, workshop, huge pond for swimming and fishing and an unofficial, but well used air strip. Western views of the ocean are spectacular - especially the sunsets!”

The photos feature a large alabaster residence sitting in a private and serine setting on a ridge spotted with trees. Inside, the four-bedroom, four-bathroom home is like a vintage timestamp of country living, with hardwood floors, handcrafted doors and windows “hewn from locally sourced wood,” the listing notes.

Other features include:

  • High ceilings

  • Fireplace

  • Large windows

  • Pond views

  • Terrace

There’s also a wooden deck on the pond and other fun surprises on the ranch.

According to a news release, the home was once owned by Yerba Buena Nursery founder Gerda Isenberg, and is now owned by her granddaughter, Rebeka Jaque.

The listing is held by Dana Cappiello, Derek Cappiello, and Cutty Smith of Sotheby’s International Realty - San Francisco Brokerage.

Woodside is about a 30-mile drive south from San Francisco.
