We are looking to rent our 4 bedroom / 2 bathroom house in Portola Valley. The house is on 1.8 acres and includes kitchen / dining room, large living room with floor-to-ceiling windows and a fireplace, a large library. Swimming pool and garden with outdoor seating areas; fruit trees, rose bushes, and protected raised bed for vegetables. Across the street from Arastradero Preserve with more than 10 miles of trails open for hiking and biking. Recently installed carpet in master bedroom and front large bedroom.

There’s a pasture with horse on property (cared for by his owner), beautiful eucalyptus trees lining the main driveway. 12-minute drive or easy bike commute to Stanford campus. Zoned for Palo Alto schools. Lots of wildlife to keep you entertained on the property -- owls hooting at night, hummingbirds hovering by day, bunnies and deer.

Rent is $5000 per month, which includes weekly professional pool care and landscaping (workers stop by once a week to maintain). Good soil in raised bed if you’d like to plant your own vegetable or herb garden.

Seeking tenant for 9 month - 1 year contract, starting in September, with possibility to extend. Looking to rent the house partially furnished but open to discuss options.

We’d prefer to rent to a family or couple but would entertain a professional couple with an additional housemate. No smokers. Pets negotiable but will require extra deposit.
