Villa Lauriston - 5050 Alpine Road, Portola Valley, CA

 

Villa Exterior

The exterior of the main residence is as grand as its history.

  • The buildings and the walls of the Lauriston estate were built using native sandstone dug from a quarry located on the property itself.
  • As some who have commented on the Villa note, however, the work of generations of European artisans and craftsmen was rivaled by some of the beautiful details designed by Schastey, who had trained at the École des Beaux Arts. These windows link the Villa to acres of terraced lawns, gardens, fountains, pools and statues, all surrounded and protected by trees that were selected and planted by Schastey and Law, among them, fine specimens of spruce, cedar and, of course, the redwoods for which Northern California is famous.
