The property, built in 1980, is move-in ready and boasts significant modern system upgrades including a 60-panel 15KW solar system, 30KW backup generator, dual AC units, water softener, multi-stage filtration, dual tankless water heaters, and an EV charger. These indicate a well-maintained and highly functional property with substantial recent investments in critical infrastructure. While the kitchen's aesthetic (light wood cabinets, older white appliances, parquet flooring) and some light fixtures appear dated and not fully renovated to current trends, the major systems are modern and within their expected lifespan. The living areas feature well-maintained hardwood flooring. The overall condition is strong due to these functional improvements, despite some cosmetic areas that could benefit from future updates.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Unparalleled Panoramic Views & Secluded Location: The property boasts breathtaking 360-degree views of Mission Peak, Santa Clara, and Palo Alto across the Bay, situated atop a private hill with a secluded pond, offering exceptional privacy and natural beauty.
Expansive & Versatile 16.3-Acre Estate: With 16.3 acres comprising flat areas, hills, and a valley, the property offers immense versatility for various uses, from recreational activities to potential agricultural development.
Advanced Self-Sufficiency & Modern Infrastructure: Equipped with a 15KW solar system, 30KW backup generator, dual AC units, water softener, multi-stage filtration, dual tankless water heaters, and no-cost high-speed internet, ensuring comfort and reduced utility costs.
Significant Agricultural & Livestock Potential: The large land and a year-round 26 GPM artesian well provide ample resources to support vineyards, fruit trees, horses, and other livestock, appealing to equestrian or farming enthusiasts.
Thoughtful Multi-Generational Design & Ample Storage: The split-wing design with dedicated entertainment and study rooms supports multi-generational living, complemented by a 1,625 sq ft storage shed and a 3-car garage with EV charger, offering extensive utility and space.

Cons

Potential for High Maintenance & Operational Costs: The extensive 16.3-acre property with a private pond and complex utility systems (solar, generator, well) will likely incur significant ongoing maintenance and operational expenses.
Age of the Main Residence (1980): While well-equipped, the home's 1980 construction year might suggest dated aesthetics or require further modernization to meet contemporary luxury standards for some discerning buyers.
Secluded Location May Not Suit All Lifestyles: Despite convenient freeway access and proximity to top schools, the property's hilltop, secluded nature might be perceived as too remote for buyers desiring immediate access to urban amenities or a more suburban community feel.
