Situated on a combined 2.18-acre retreat across two separate parcels, APN 729-17-015 (0.35 acres with a 2,640 sq ft residence) and APN 865-06-052 (1.8 acres of mostly level land), the property enjoys backdrop views of over 100,000 acres of dedicated parkland and open space.

The interior mirrors the beauty of its surroundings. From the entry level, a short flight of stairs leads to the main living area, where a wall of windows frames breathtaking views of rolling hills and open space. Vaulted wood-inlay ceilings and hardwood flooring in the dining, living, and family areas add warmth and character, while the open layout encourages both everyday living and entertaining. The designer kitchen showcases quartz countertops, a stone backsplash, custom cabinetry, a functional center island, stainless steel appliances, and abundant counter space. It opens seamlessly to an informal dining area that flows into the great room, featuring a stylish tiled fireplace and access to wrap-around decks, creating an ideal setting for entertaining or simply enjoying the views. The formal dining room is spacious enough to host larger gatherings or special occasions. A conveniently located half bath completes this level.
The entry-level bedrooms provide peaceful accommodations with abundant natural light and scenic views. The primary suite is a true retreat, featuring a slider to the patio, walk-in closet, and an updated bathroom with dual quartz vanities, a jetted tub, and a stylish tile-finished shower. A bonus sitting room or second family room adjoins the primary suite. Three additional bedrooms and an updated hall bathroom, including a separate vanity area, offer comfort and convenience for family or guests. The laundry room is conveniently located on this level, making everyday living easier.
The front property, which includes the main house, could accommodate both an ADU and a junior ADU. The detached two-car garage is perfect as-is but could serve as a head start for this ADU. The adjoining land, with its own parcel number, adds the benefit of a second, separately identified parcel. Zoned AR (Agricultural Ranchland/unincorporated Santa Clara County), this parcel offers development potential for a new main house, guest house, junior ADU, and accessory structures such as a barn or shop, all subject to County and City approval. It also allows for a variety of agricultural or small-scale commercial uses, including livestock, agricultural processing, a wholesale nursery, a small winery, and more. Whether your vision includes a family compound, hobby farm, or future development, this property delivers unmatched flexibility.
Jackson Oaks residents enjoy access to a community clubhouse, pool, playground and event space, all with low HOA dues. The neighborhood is located within the prized Jackson Academy of Math and Music attendance area. The surrounding area offers scenic hiking, biking, and horse trails, as well as charming boutique wineries. Just minutes away, downtown Morgan Hill exudes small-town charm with top-rated restaurants, boutique shopping, and community events, all with convenient access to Highway 101 for an easy commute.
Enjoy expansive views, serene surroundings, and the freedom to craft your perfect space. More than a home, this is life above it all.
