Three acres of nature, privacy and architectural character in Los Altos Hills.

Presenting 13124 Byrd Lane, Los Altos Hills

Tucked among mature California and Valley Oaks and surrounded by the natural landscape, 13124 Byrd Lane feels less like a traditional residence and more like a private retreat in the trees.

Originally designed by noted Palo Alto architect George Tad Cody, the home carries a distinctly Californian spirit—warm wood, open-beam details, and indoor/outdoor spaces that invite the landscape in.

Step outside onto the wraparound decks and experience native landscaping, fruit trees, remarkable privacy, and sweeping views toward the Bay. With 3 acres, there is a sense of space and separation that is increasingly difficult to find.

This summer, I had the privilege of selling 24570 Ruth Lee Court, a home that was especially meaningful because my sellers didn’t just live here—they built it. They created a beautiful place to raise their family, make memories, and enjoy countless evenings overlooking some of the most incredible sunsets.

It’s bittersweet to see a family say goodbye to a place they created with so much care, but I’m incredibly happy for my sellers as they begin their next chapter—and equally excited for the new homeowners who now get to make this beautiful home their own.
