The incredible Atherton estate custom built by former 49er legend Jerry Rice stuns in its breathtaking architecture, privacy and state-of-the art luxury. Built by acclaimed custom homebuilder Lencioni Construction, the estate blends California indoor-outdoor living with French style. The house has six bedroom suites across 12,520 square feet on a 1.24 acre lot that boasts rare privacy in the heart of Silicon Valley.
The cleverly laid out estate is hidden inside a peaceful Mediterranean garden of palm trees and succulents imagined by Santana Row’s landscape architect. A long, winding stone drive dotted in towering bamboo transports visitors to another place, far from the heart of Silicon Valley. Arrive to soft light through mature trees and the calm of a gentle murmuring fountain. Inside, the house is both personal and expansive, featuring intimate spaces to relax, unwind and focus, and communal living for gatherings of any size. Versace limestone flooring, Swarovski crystal accents, Juliet balconies, Venetian plastered walls, soaring ceilings and exquisite French doors and windows overlooking tranquil gardens celebrate beauty and life.
Find peace and quiet in the rare mahogany wood-paneled library with French doors or the primary suite’s private lounge, where you can cozy up by the fire and fix a coffee or a cocktail without leaving your retreat. Focus on your hobbies, whether it be wine collecting, movie watching, fitness, or creativity in one of the bespoke spaces meant to support a balanced life. Settle into a feature film in a plush Art Deco-inspired movie theater rated among the top ten in the nation with gold-flecked carpet and a sweet concession stand. Bring out the perfect vintage from your wine library, get creative in an expansive crafting room or practice your short game on the lush putting green. Train like a pro athlete in Rice’s original gym with his handpicked fitness equipment and the adjacent recovery room’s steam shower and sauna.
When it’s time to gather with family and friends, enjoy multiple welcoming, sophisticated spaces. Arched ceilings and chic light fixtures provide exquisite ambiance, while a soothing color palette makes for an intimate, warm space. Let the party spill outside. Mature trees and fragrant wisteria invite you outdoors to sit by the stone fireplace under a vine-draped veranda. An outdoor kitchen, expansive lawn shaded in redwood trees and a dreamy pool perfect for a float or laps extend your living space. A dog run, guest house with kitchen and bathroom, plus custom-built pet pad allows all members of your extended family to thrive.
Meant to be a respite from the buzz of a busy life, you will find seclusion and balance in an estate built by a legend.
