Santa Clara County Luxury Houses

Sugar Pine

• 22 guests

• 6 bedrooms

Truckee, Nevada County

On the outskirts of Truckee, and right by Donner Lake (Tahoe’s smaller, less crowded cousin), Sugar Pine has every base covered to make for a great outdoors holiday. Along with the sheer size, which makes it excellent for larger groups and multiple families, the home has pretty much every amenity you can think of, from the private spa (with sauna and steam room), two barbecues, enormous TVs, a games room, and even underfloor heating (a game-changer after skiing, trust us).

Incline Village, Washoe County

Breathe in the fresh outdoors when you stay in this home. This down-to-earth two-bedroom home instantly feels cosy on arrival and the two sitting rooms make it ideal for a family.

College Terrace, Palo Alto

This home might be close to Stanford University, but it's a million miles away from your average student house. In fact, parts of it feel more like a learned professor's seminar room, from the shelves packed full of books and the grand piano, to the historic paintings hanging on the walls.
