About this property

Private Retreat: Hot Tub, BBQ/fire pit, City Views

Retreat above the city in this one-of-a-kind home and gaze at the sweeping view of Silicon Valley. Rancho Ruby is a revived 1950s ranch designed with a modern California style. Every amenity and detail has been thoughtfully considered for the tech-savvy travelers. The home is open, peaceful, and cool. It sits on a hilltop, situated on a secluded & gated third acre lot to allow tranquility for guests but is only a 15 minutes drive to the city center.

About the host

Hosted by Kien

Host profile image
Spent most of my life in California and have been to over 30 countries and counting so I know what it takes to design a space that is comfortable for traveling. I work as a designer in tech but enjoy designing physical spaces in my free time.

Why they chose this property

The home sits just right outside the city line and is nestled in the east foothills or Evergreen Valley. It feels remote yet accessible to all the big city amenities.

Evergreen Valley is considered by many residents to be a peaceful neighborhood that has parks with breathtaking 360° views of the city, world-class shopping centers and many local attractions and eateries that showcase the diversity of the city. Everything else is within close driving distance and there are many attractions throughout the rest of the Bay Area.

What makes this property unique

I spent a year fixing this old ranch home to turn it into a modern sanctuary loved by many guests.
