Country View Estates, San Jose, CA

Country View Estates is a secluded, upscale neighborhood nestled at the far southwestern edge of Almaden Valley. Defined by winding roads, spacious lots, and dramatic hillside views, this neighborhood offers a more private and luxurious living experience while still maintaining access to the broader San Jose area. Homes in Country View Estates are large, custom-built estates, many with expansive frontages, private gates, and panoramic vistas of the surrounding foothills. The architecture here leans toward Mediterranean, craftsman, and contemporary styles, and nearly every home enjoys a level of privacy not typically found in more centrally located neighborhoods. This area feels almost tucked away in nature — and that’s part of the draw. It's surrounded by open space, with the Calero Creek Trail, Santa Teresa Hills, and Almaden Quicksilver County Park all nearby. These parks provide abundant opportunities for hiking, biking, horseback riding, and enjoying the natural beauty of the South Bay. Though there are no formal public parks within the neighborhood boundaries, the immediate access to vast regional open spaces makes it a standout for outdoor lovers. Despite its secluded feel, Country View Estates is still within a 10-minute drive of key Almaden Valley amenities. Cathedral Park, Gurukool School, and Williams Elementary are just a short drive away, and the shopping centers along Almaden Expressway — including restaurants, grocers, and services — remain accessible without sacrificing the peaceful ambiance that defines this enclave. Because the neighborhood is composed entirely of custom homes and has a limited number of properties, it offers a strong sense of exclusivity. The lack of through-traffic and cul-de-sac layout further enhance the quiet, peaceful environment.
