13977 Albar Court

A Private Oasis, Crafted with Purpose

Tucked at the very end of a serene cul-de-sac, this Paul Conrado estate sits on 1.23 acres of lush, layered landscaping, a sanctuary of peace and privacy, yet just minutes from the heart of downtown Saratoga. Photos only hint at the sense of calm here: mature trees, rose gardens, terraces under canopy, and vistas of canyons and hills that feel timeless.

Inside, and throughout its approximately 5,591 square feet, the home reflects intention, function, and hand-crafted detail. Through imposing double front doors, a wide hall with sweeping staircase draws you into elegant formal rooms, while informal living areas—coffered ceilings in the living room, limestone fireplace carved by artisans, a family room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and wet bar—offer warmth and flow, indoors to out through French doors into the garden.

The kitchen offers pecan cabinetry, granite counters, a central island with a Gaggenau cooktop, dual Viking ovens, Sub-Zero refrigerator, three sinks, and dual dishwashers. Custom touches, hand-forged hardware, imported details, walnut floors, underscore both durability and soul.

A rich, flexible layout: private office wrapped in cherry wood, a guest/retreat suite with en suite bath & sauna, elegant wine storage hidden beneath the staircase. Upstairs, the primary suite is a full retreat: fireplace, balcony with treetop views, spa bath with dual showers and sunken tub, oversized dressing room, and its own in-suite laundry. Four additional bedrooms offer privacy and comfort.

Outdoors, the estate transforms into your own wellness and leisure sanctuary: a solar-heated 54-foot lap pool and spa, expansive terraces perfect for al fresco dining under mature trees, a dining patio reached via a charming footbridge, vegetable beds, rose garden, and layered plantings providing color, scent, and privacy.

All this complemented by modern comforts: zoned HVAC, whole-house sound system, a three-car garage with workshop/storage space.

This location has so much to offer! You are only minutes to the distinct Saratoga Village offering  fine dining, boutique shopping and essential services. Explore the historic and cultural sites of the Montalvo Arts Center, the Mountain Winery, Hakone Gardens and Garrod Farms. The Montalvo Arts Center is situated on 175 acres and includes an historic Villa, eleven artist residences, indoor and outdoor performance and exhibition venues, lush gardens, and hiking trails that wind through redwood forests to stunning vistas. “Montalvo is an oasis of arts and nature in the heart of bustling Silicon Valley.” The Mountain Winery is surrounded by vineyards and offers an amazing setting for private events, concerts, wine tasting and historic tours. Enjoy the tranquility of Hakone Gardens, an 18-acre retreat of magnificent Japanese gardens, historical buildings, waterfalls and koi ponds.

 Multiple parks are nearby, offering trails, courts, open lawns, playgrounds and space to breathe: Stevens Creek County Park and Reservoir, Kevin Moran Park, Wildwood Park, Congress Springs, and more. Commuter routes are easily accessible, making this estate feel remote only in the best way possible: your private haven, secluded, serene, yet undeniably connected. The location is also recognized for its wineries within the Santa Cruz Mountains American Viticultural Area.

This location boasts distinguished public schools and is located conveniently close to local amenities such as businesses, health and wellness facilities, and major freeways including Hwys 85 and 280.
