Old La Honda Road: Secluded Mountain Living in Woodside, CA

Tucked into the Santa Cruz Mountains above Central Woodside, Old La Honda Road offers some of the most private and scenic living in the Silicon Valley real estate market. Known for its winding roads, ridge-top views, and deep connection to nature, this unique neighborhood feels like a retreat from the world, while remaining within reach of Stanford, Sand Hill Road, and major tech corridors.

Just west of Skywood Acres and Central Woodside, Old La Honda Road appeals to buyers seeking seclusion, acreage, and a lifestyle immersed in open space.


Old La Honda Homes: Privacy, Acreage, and Spectacular Views

Homes along Old La Honda Road vary from rustic mountain cabins to contemporary hillside estates with glass walls and panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean or Bay. Many properties span several acres and include private trails, guest houses, and gardens, offering a self-sustained, off-the-grid feel that’s increasingly rare in the Bay Area.

Architectural styles are as diverse as the landscape itself, reflecting a mix of modern minimalism, artistic design, and rural craftsmanship.


Remote Living with Access to Nature and the Peninsula

While it offers a secluded, backcountry experience, Old La Honda Road is only a 15- to 20-minute drive to Downtown Woodside, Portola Valley, and Highway 280. Residents can easily reach Stanford University, Downtown Palo Alto, and Menlo Park, while enjoying daily access to Windy Hill, Russian Ridge, and the Midpeninsula Open Space Preserve trail systems.

This proximity to major employers and world-class nature makes Old La Honda Road a favorite among entrepreneurs, creatives, and those craving a more intentional lifestyle.


Old La Honda Road Real Estate: Homes for Sale and Market Insights

Old La Honda Road real estate is known for its large lots, low density, and unmatched privacy. Properties are often custom-built and rarely come on the market, making it a high-demand, low-inventory neighborhood for buyers seeking retreat-style living within Silicon Valley.

Given the terrain, zoning, and unique characteristics of each property, it’s important to work with a Woodside real estate agent who understands the nuances of this micro-market. The Dana Carmel Group brings local knowledge and strategic representation to every transaction in this exceptional hillside community.


Nature, Wildlife, and a Slower Pace of Life

Old La Honda residents enjoy stargazing, redwood forests, and quiet mornings broken only by birdsong or the rustle of deer. It’s a place where people embrace a slower pace of life, whether gardening, hiking, or working remotely surrounded by nature. Nearby schools include Woodside Elementary, Corte Madera, and Woodside High, with several respected private schools within reach by car.

For those seeking beauty, solitude, and a return to nature, Old La Honda offers an unparalleled lifestyle on the Peninsula.
