Venture capitalist Jeff Clavier and his wife Bernadette Clavier have listed their estate at 600 Moore Road in Woodside for $14.9 million, according to a June 2 report. The couple purchased the 3.2-acre property in early 2020 for nearly $8.2 million and spent four years on a multimillion-dollar renovation.
The Claviers closed on the 7,155-square-foot villa just before California’s Covid-19 lockdown began. “We simply weren’t willing to put our lives on hold,” Bernadette Clavier said. She described the property as having “a magnificent soul” but being “in dire need of revival” after sitting vacant with overgrown grounds and wildlife moving in.
The main villa features four bedroom suites and an office, while the estate also includes a two-bedroom, 1,390-square-foot cottage and a one-bedroom, 755-square-foot guest house. According to Bernadette Clavier, their daughter’s family lived in the guest cottage and enjoyed residing “in [a] private oasis, surrounded by beautiful trees and architecture.” The main home is equipped with advanced security systems and internet infrastructure.
Additional amenities include a 3,000-bottle underground wine cellar, chef’s kitchen with dual appliances, fitness pavilion with sauna, pool and spa, as well as an authentic red clay tennis court. The exterior has new irrigation systems, fire mitigation improvements, a bocce court, and putting greens.
The couple plans to focus on winemaking ventures and a restoration project in Walla Walla, Washington. Jeff Clavier remains a founding partner at Uncork Capital—a firm known for early investments in companies such as Fitbit, Eventbrite, Postmates and Poshmark.
A home in Woodside set a Bay Area price record last year when Green Gables estate sold for approximately $85 million.
