We are your Portola Valley Ranch Experts

Portola Valley Ranch was named one of the most beautiful places in San Mateo County. Deservedly so, the beauty of Portola Valley Ranch can be seen within its 453 acres of rolling hills, virgin oak woodlands, meadows, streams, and ponds. The abundance of wildlife makes it commonplace to spot deer, bobcats, raccoons, and a variety of birds. To protect the pristine and natural conditions of Portola Valley Ranch, only a quarter of the land is used for single-family detached homes.

Portola Valley Ranch’s location is ideal as it allows a peaceful escape from the city bustle, yet provides convenient access to surrounding cities. Residents enjoy being only 10 minutes from Stanford University in Palo Alto, 30 minutes south of San Francisco, and 30 minutes north of San Jose. 

Portola Valley Ranch, or better known to locals as “The Ranch” is ideal for the outdoorsy types, with plenty of access to some of the best hiking and biking in the bay area.  Recreation facilities are in close proximity including Ladera Oaks Swim & Racquet, Alpine Hills Swim & Tennis, and the Sharon Heights Country Club.
