PLEASE DO NOT COME TO THE BARN WITHOUT AN APPOINTMENT. THANK YOU FOR RESPECTING THE PRIVACY OF EVERYONE AT SEVEN OAKS.
Here are directions to our farm (google maps & gps systems will get you to Alpine road, but not necessarily to our farm):
DRIVE VERY SLOWLY ON ANSEL LANE—NO MORE THAN 10 MILES/HOUR !—Ansel Lane is a private road and is the only access to Seven Oaks in Portola Valley. The owners of the road have the right to deny anyone access for any reason: drive slowly, be polite to anyone who asks you to stop and to anyone who asks you to slow down or otherwise modify your driving.
From the north:
Take highway 280 south
Exit at Alpine Road (1 exit past Sand Hill)
Turn left off of the off-ramp on to Alpine and go under the freeway overpass
Go straight at the first intersection (stop-signs, no street lights)
Go past the Webb Ranch fruit stand (immediately on your left)
About 100 yards past the fruit stand will be a left-turn lane (no stop-signs or signal lights)
Turn left there on to Ansel Lane
-- directions continue below --
From the south:
Take highway 280 north
Exit at Alpine Road (1 exit past Page Mill)
Turn right off of the off-ramp on to Alpine
Go past the Webb Ranch fruit stand (immediately on your left)
About 100 yards past the fruit stand will be a left-turn lane (no stop-signs or signal lights)
Turn left there on to Ansel Lane
-- directions continue below --
From Palo Alto & Stanford areas:
Take Sand Hill road west until you reach Alpine Road / Junipero Serra / Alameda de las Pulgas (just past the Stanford campus).
Take the first right turn you come to, which will be Ansel Lane (there won’t be any stop-signs or signal lights – if you reach the Webb Ranch fruit stand, you’ve gone too far).
-- directions continue below --
DIRECTIONS (continued) AFTER PASSING THE FRUIT STAND:
NOTE: If you turn left on to Ansel Lane, the left turn that you make will be almost a U-turn, as Ansel parallels
Alpine (if you make a 90-degree left turn, you will end up at the back entrance to the Stanford Linear Accelerator)
NOTE: If you turn right on to Ansel Lane, you will then immediately turn left, so that you are going parallel to Alpine Lane.

As soon as you are on Ansel Lane, you will see arenas and barns and horses – that is the Portola Valley Training Center. Don’t go there--stay on Ansel Lane, past all of the barns, the covered arena, the race-track and the line of parked horse-trailers. You will then go under the freeway overpass.
After that, Ansel Lane jogs right and then jogs left.
After that, you will come to a second set of arenas, barns and horses. Park anywhere that you see other cars (if you park in the wrong place, someone will let you know) and ask for Pamela, Carrie, Mary, Caitlin or Sonia
IF YOU GET LOST:
Ask someone how to get to the Portola Valley Training Center – once there, ask how to get to Rancho Viejo
Also, try calling Pamela’s cell phone: 415-860-2886
