Venues
A private hillside event venue in the East Foothills above downtown San Jose, set against the rolling hills of Mount Hamilton. An intimate, luxurious estate with 2,250 square feet of indoor space, a spacious patio with glittering downtown views at night, a lower grassy area, and overnight accommodations for the host party. Up to 65 guests and a five-bedroom layout make this an unusually complete event venue for the South Bay — purpose-built for corporate offsites, milestone celebrations, weddings, family reunions, holiday parties, and private dinners alike.
The Setting and the Home
The estate sits among decades-old pink peppercorn, almond, and apricot trees, with cows and goats on the property. Mornings on the porch overlook the foothills; evenings transition to a glittering downtown skyline. Inside, the home is climate-controlled with Nest heating, smart-home hands-free lighting, full WiFi, a flatscreen television, and a soft-seating lounge. Five bedrooms, three bathrooms, and overnight accommodations for up to ten guests make this an event venue that doubles as the host suite, with a full kitchen for caterers and a private nursing room.
Outside Spaces
The outdoor footprint is the property's signature. A spacious patio anchors the gathering with panoramic foothill and skyline views, designed for cocktail hour, dinner under string lights, or an outdoor ceremony with the valley behind you. A lower grassy area extends the space for a ceremony arch, lawn games, or a fire-pit moment with a charcuterie board. A hot tub is available for the post-event unwind, and parking on site simplifies guest arrival. Both spaces are ADA accessible, and string-light coverage is in place across the patio.
Events This Property Is Built For
This is a private event space and corporate event venue with the rare ability to host overnight. It fits corporate offsites, executive retreats, team-building days, milestone birthdays and anniversaries, engagement parties, holiday parties, baby and bridal showers, family reunions, rehearsal dinners, welcome receptions, networking dinners, product launches up to 65 attendees, and intimate wedding ceremonies and receptions. Multi-day events use the property for the kickoff Friday, the main event Saturday, and a farewell brunch Sunday.
Hourly Booking, You Choose the Length
This event venue books hourly, so hosts set the length that fits their gathering. The four-hour minimum is the right shape for a focused ceremony-and-cocktail-hour, a milestone birthday or anniversary dinner, a baby or bridal shower, or a board offsite with breakouts. Six hours is the most common shape for a full ceremony, cocktail hour, and seated reception in one location, or a corporate offsite with a working session and dinner. Eight hours unlocks a five-percent discount and is built for a full event day from morning preparation through the closing toast, paired naturally with overnight accommodations so the host party wakes up on the porch the next morning. Outside catering and outside beverage are both allowed at every length, so hosts can build the menu they want.
Music, Catering, and Logistics
Outside catering is welcome, including bringing your own caterer or food truck. Outside food and beverage is allowed, so hosts can build a wine pairing, signature cocktail program, or dessert spread. DJ equipment and live music are both allowed. Amplified outdoor music ends by nine in the evening in respect of the residential neighborhood; indoor celebration continues afterward. Hired security is required; the host can connect you with vetted options. Hours are flexible and can be adjusted on request to fit your event start time.
