Explore Intel co-founder's historic S.F. estate for sale on 25 protected acres
Moore and his wife Betty gifted their 25-acre Woodside property, called Mountain Meadow, to the nonprofit land conservation group Peninsula Open Space Trust, which is handling the sale, according to a representative of Compass real estate firm.
Gordon and Betty Moore both died in 2023 at the age of 94 and 95, respectively.
The couple paid $6 million for the property in 1993. The estate's 9,300-square-foot, six-bedroom Tudor Revival residence was built in 1927. Formal gardens, an orchard, redwood groves, oaks and ties to the 1850s redwood logging history are part of the secluded Bay Area property.
Woodside is about 32 miles south of San Francisco, in San Mateo County.
The Moores invested heavily in the property over the course of their ownership. They added more than $15 million in renovations and improvements aimed at transforming the property into a peaceful, long-term family retreat.
'Mountain Meadow was a refuge for the Moore family, a place of peace, and reflection and a deep connection to the rich landscape of the San Francisco Bay Area,' Eric Normington of POST said in a statement. 'It is ready for a new steward who shares the Moores' love of the natural world and who embraces this rare opportunity to become a part of the property's unique legacy.'
The estate is permanently protected from large-scale development by a conservation easement.
The Moores strove to source authentic period materials in order to maintain the original character of the property, such as decommissioning local homes of the same era to salvage window glass, fixtures, fittings and other architectural elements, according to Compass.
The couple undertook a full overhaul of the residence's interior systems, replacing electrical, plumbing and HVAC systems.
The home's exterior — roofing, siding and windows — was meticulously restored to reflect the home's historical design.
'There's a timelessness here,' listing agent Erika Demma of Compass said in an email. 'From the handcrafted architecture to the redwood groves and natural springs, every inch of this property feels intentional.'
The land's legacy is deep, belonging to the Ohlone Lamchin people, and later a part of the Rancho Cañada de Raymundo land grant, according to Compass. An 1850s redwood sawmill exists at Mountain Meadow.
Situated at 100 Cañada Road in one of the Bay Area's most exclusive communities, the property is adjacent to Filoli gardens and protected watershed lands.
'Properties like Mountain Meadow rarely come to market,' listing agent Hugh Cornish of Coldwell Banker said in a statement. 'Its layered history and enduring conservation protections make it truly unique.'
Gordon Moore founded Intel in 1968 with Robert Noyce.
The Moores owned another house in Hawaii, which is listed by Steve Hurwitz of Hawai'i Life for $21.9 million.

Heard on the Street Tuesday Recap: Is a Rate Cut Coming?
Inflation remained steady in July, even as tariff increases began to show up more clearly. Consumer prices rose 2.7% in July from a year earlier, unchanged from June's gain. That was below the 2.8% rise expected by economists and keeps an interest-rate cut firmly on the table for September. Stocks advanced, with the Nasdaq Composite and the S&P 500 setting records. The Nasdaq added 1.4% and the S&P and Dow industrials both gained 1.1%. Treasury yields were mostly higher. The 10-year yield neared 4.3%. Intel shares rallied after President Trump said he had met with the chip maker's CEO. The president said Monday's meeting, also attended by Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, was 'very interesting.' Intel shares rose 5.6%.

'An Amazing Story': Intel Stock (NASDAQ:INTC) Jumps After Tan Meets With Trump
And just like that, things started looking up for chip stock Intel (INTC). You remember just yesterday, when CEO Lip-Bu Tan was under fire from President Trump, who called for his removal? Well, what started out as ' no other solution to the problem ' sure turned into an amazing story pretty quickly. In fact, that was exactly what President Trump had to say following his meeting with Lip-Bu Tan, and that was good enough for Intel investors. Intel investors sent shares climbing over 5% in Tuesday afternoon's trading. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. Trump referred to Lip-Bu Tan as having an 'amazing story,' especially considering Tan's involvement in Walden International and Cadence Design Systems (CDNS). Tan, in a message to Intel employees, noted that there was 'misinformation' around his roles therein, and that he had '…always operated within the highest legal and ethical standards.' And Trump, perhaps understandably, was concerned about some of what had been going around about Tan's past involvement with companies, including some companies that later had connections to the People's Liberation Army in China. But those concerns seemed to go out the window as Trump later said, 'I met with Mr. Lip-Bu Tan, of Intel, along with Secretary of Commerce, Howard Lutnick, and Secretary of the Treasury, Scott Bessent. The meeting was a very interesting one. His success and rise is an amazing story. Mr. Tan and my Cabinet members are going to spend time together, and bring suggestions to me during the next week.' Speaking of Suggestions Based on what we have heard so far, the meetings between Trump and Tan may not be over, but rather, beginning. Trump noted that there would be further meetings, particularly between Tan and Trump's various cabinet members. Despite this, no one made any mention of just what Trump's cabinet would be talking to Lip-Bu Tan about in the next several days. There are certainly plenty of possible topics, ranging from CHIPS Act payments to tariffs on processors to even how to get Intel back up and running to the point where the United States has a major chipmaker in its arsenal again. Is Intel a Buy, Hold or Sell? Turning to Wall Street, analysts have a Hold consensus rating on INTC stock based on one Buy, 26 Holds and three Sells assigned in the past three months, as indicated by the graphic below. After a 0.88% rally in its share price over the past year, the average INTC price target of $22.10 per share implies 1.84% upside potential.

Asian shares charge higher after US stocks rally
BANGKOK -- Shares advanced Wednesday in Asia after the U.S. stock market rallied to records when data showed inflation across the United States improved slightly last month. Tokyo's benchmark Nikkei 225 added to its record set a day earlier. Shares in Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia also gained more than 1%. The recent rally in share prices has been driven partly by relief over an extended truce in President Donald Trump's trade war with China, and partly by persisting hopes the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates. Those were reinforced by a moderation in the consumer price index in July. 'Asia woke up in full risk-on mode, riding the coattails of a U.S. session that looked like someone hit the 'infinite bid' button after CPI didn't blow the inflation doors off,' Stephen Innes of SPI Asset Management said in a commentary. China and the U.S. agreed to extend by 90 days the pause in drastically higher tariff rates to allow more time for talks on a broad trade agreement. Although uncertainty over what the negotiations will yield remains, the truce has relieved pressure on companies and countries across Asia that rely heavily in supply chains routed through China. Hong Kong's Hang Seng surged 1.9% to 25,439.91, while the Shanghai Composite index added 0.6% to 3,686.34. In Japan, relief over the Trump administration's confirmation that its exports will face a flat 15% U.S. import duty has driven strong buying of computer chip-related companies and other exporters. The Nikkei 225 gained 1.6% to 43,407.46. Elsewhere in Asia, South Korea's Kospi advanced 0.8% to 3,215.43. In Australia, the S&P/ASX 200 shed 0.5% to 8,840.30. Taiwan's Taiex was up 0.8% and the Sensex in India gained 0.4%. In Bangkok, the SET climbed 0.9%. On Tuesday, the S&P 500 rose 1.1% to top its all-time high set two weeks ago. It closed at 6,445.76. The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 1.1% to 44,458.61, while the Nasdaq composite jumped 1.4% to set its own record of 21,681.90. Intel's stock rose 5.6% after Trump said its CEO has an 'amazing story,' less than a week after he had demanded Lip-Bu Tan's resignation. Circle Internet Group, the company behind the popular USDC cryptocurrency that tracks the U.S. dollar, climbed 1.3% despite reporting a larger loss for the latest quarter than analysts expected. It said its total revenue and reserve income grew 53% in its first quarter as a publicly traded company, which topped forecasts. The better-than-expected report on inflation raised hopes the Federal Reserve will have the leeway to cut interest rates at its next meeting in September. Tuesday's report said U.S. consumers paid prices for groceries, gasoline and other costs of living that were overall 2.7% higher in July than a year earlier. That's the same inflation rate as June's, and it was below the 2.8% that economists expected. Lower rates would give a boost to investment prices and to the economy by making it cheaper for U.S. households and businesses to borrow to buy houses, cars or equipment. President Donald Trump has angrily been calling for cuts to help the economy, often insulting the Fed's chair personally while doing so. The Fed has hesitated, worried that Trump's tariffs could make inflation much worse. The Fed will get one more report on inflation and another on the U.S. job market, before its next meeting, which ends Sept. 17. The most recent jobs report was a stunner, coming in much weaker than economists expected. Critics say the broad U.S. stock market is looking expensive after its surge from a bottom in April. That's putting pressure on companies to deliver continued growth in profit. In other dealings early Wednesday, U.S. benchmark crude oil edged 4 cents higher to $63.21 per barrel. Brent crude, the international standard, was up 8 cents at $66.20 per barrel. The U.S. dollar rose to 147.94 Japanese yen from 147.84 yen. The euro climbed to $1.1686 from $1.1677.
