22000 Fortini Road

The Opportunity

Three acres of room to breathe, fifteen minutes from everything.

Quietly offered off-market, 22000 Fortini Road is the kind of property Almaden Valley almost never surrenders: 3.01 usable acres at the edge of the valley, holding a remodeled main residence and a separate ~1,165-square-foot ADU with three bedrooms of its own.

Two households, one address — parents and grandparents, guests, or income. Flat land invites gardens, animals, entertaining, or the outdoor amenities acreage buyers are priced out of one town over. A seasonal creek traces the property, county parkland with hiking and boating sits minutes away, and the address feeds Graystone Elementary, Bret Harte Middle, and Leland High.

For the buyer who has been watching Los Gatos and Saratoga acreage climb out of reach, this is the same land, the same privacy, and the same sky — on the Almaden side of the hill.

Main residence — remodeled, ~2,241 sq ft per prior marketing (county records reflect ~1,325 sq ft; buyer to verify)

Detached ADU — approximately 1,165 sq ft, 3 bedrooms, 1 bath

Multi-generational or income — two fully separate living quarters

3.01 acres of largely flat, usable land with creek frontage

Panoramic valley and hillside views

Parking for ten-plus vehicles, room for equipment and toys

Almaden schools — Graystone · Bret Harte · Leland (verify enrollment with district)

Minutes to county parks, Almaden shopping, and commute corridors

Property status & the path forward

This estate is offered with full disclosure of an existing Santa Clara County code enforcement case (VIO23-0170), which the ownership team has been actively resolving with the County. In summary:

Accessory structures (#1–#3.1): a demolition permit has been issued and paid; these structures will be removed and inspected under the approved permit.
Main house and deck: as-built drawings are being prepared to pursue permits and legalization of the remaining items, with the original 1980 permit records under review with the County.
Garage conversion (JADU) and detached ADU: proposed for legalization under California AB 2533, subject to confirmation of eligibility.

A consultant is engaged and holds the County records, historical permits, prior meeting materials, and completed electrical and plumbing assessments. The next steps — as-built drawings, County confirmation, permit packages, and contractor bids — are underway.

Complete documentation, including the case file and consultant materials, is available to serious buyers upon request. Buyers should independently verify all information, square footages, and permit status.
