Tucked off a quiet lane in Woodside, a once-tired villa has been reborn as a French‑inspired art de vivre compound after a four‑year restoration by tech investor Jeff Clavier and his wife, Bernadette. The 3.2‑acre property at 600 Moore Road is on the market for $14.9 million, mixing old‑world stonework with resort‑style amenities and updated infrastructure. The main stone villa is about 7,155 square feet and is joined by a two‑bedroom family cottage and a one‑bedroom guest house, for a total of seven bedrooms across the compound. Hosting perks include a temperature‑controlled wine cellar sized for roughly 3,000 bottles and a rare red‑clay tennis court set into the gardens.
As reported by The Sacramento Bee, the Claviers treated the renovation like a research project, traveling through Provence and other parts of Europe for design ideas, and spent years shaping the estate to feel like a small French hamlet. Bernadette told the paper the property "surfaced memories of our childhood vacation grounds in Provence" and said they poured "our hearts into bringing this estate back to life." The article describes Jeff Clavier as a venture capitalist and notes that the couple recently bought a Washington winery and quietly introduced the Woodside property to the market.
Resort‑scale grounds and guest accommodations
The property's marketing materials lean into an entertainment‑forward layout, with a resort‑style pool and spa, waterfall grotto, bocce court, a pitch‑and‑put practice green and the headline red‑clay tennis court. 600moore.com states the compound totals about 11,700 square feet across the main residence and outbuildings and shows seven bedrooms, seven full baths and two half‑baths. Inside, finishes include artisan tile, hand‑painted murals and double commercial‑grade appliances, while a detached fitness pavilion adds a sauna and Tonal strength‑training equipment.
Legacy character backed by modern systems
Despite the old‑world look, the Claviers layered in enterprise‑grade systems to keep the estate functioning smoothly. The Sacramento Bee reports that upgrades include redundant internet access, a backup generator and advanced surveillance intended to support everyday living as well as large gatherings. The marketing positions the property as turnkey for multi‑generational living, with separate guest buildings offering flexible space for family or staff.
Listing, pricing and showings
The estate is quietly listed at $14.9 million, and 600moore.com includes floor plans, a video tour and a downloadable brochure for buyers who want to dig into the details. Erika Demma of Compass is the listing agent and the contact for showings and additional information. The marketing emphasizes privacy and proximity, describing a compound built for entertaining that still sits just minutes from Woodside’s town center and Silicon Valley hubs.
Whether the next owner treats it as a private French‑style retreat, an entertainment compound or a multigenerational homestead, the Claviers’ restoration keeps the Provençal motifs intact while tailoring them to Bay Area life and puts one of Woodside’s more unusual, hard‑to‑replicate properties up for grabs.
