Silicon Valley Mansion Features Remote-Control Racetrack

Off to the races could mean owning a 14,300-square-foot mansion in the hills above Silicon Valley with an outdoor, remote-controlled auto racetrack. The ask: $14.995 million.

An undisclosed owner is selling the gabled Tudor-style mansion with multiple turrets at 16351 Skyline Boulevard in the wealthy unincorporated town of Woodside, south of Redwood City, SiliconValley.com reported.

The six-bedroom, nine-bathroom equestrian estate, known as Ridgecrest Ranch, is perched on 18 acres surrounded by trees. It includes a 10-stall barn, 5-hole putting green and the squiggly car track.

The home was initially listed in 2021 for $27.5 million, according to Zillow, then ratcheted down the following year to $24.5 million, then $19.5 million. It was pulled from the market, then relisted in June for nearly $15 million.

The five-story main house, built in 1994, includes soaring wood-beamed ceilings, hardwood floors and cross-hatched windows beneath numerous gables sheathed in slate. There are four fireplaces, a 2,200-square-foot private office, chef’s kitchen and theater room.

The barn, now used as a garage, includes a one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments, plus an entertainment room. At the entrance is a custom dog house with a heated floor.

Outside, there’s a 110,000-gallon ozone pool, a spa and a waterfall grotto inside a manicured yard.

The property — used to raise horses, to showcase a car collector’s stable and to host philanthropic and social events for 200 guests — can easily be returned to an equestrian facility. It has access to miles of hiking and equestrian trails in adjacent Wunderlich Park.

Broker Scott Dancer of Compass holds the listing.

Last month, a firm tied to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg sold a 3.5-acre “European-inspired estate” at 75 Roberta Drive in Woodside for $29.6 million, according to The Real Deal.

In September, an Woodside estate once owned by Michelle Pfeiffer 100 Why Worry Lane sold for $33.5 million.
