San Ramon, CA – San Ramon based SummerHill Homes has acquired approximately 14.6 acres in San Jose for a new home community.  The site was originally home to the Mirassou winery.  It is located at Aborn Rd and Ruby Avenue in the highly regarded Evergreen area of San Jose.

The community will feature 87 detached single-family homes ranging from approximately 1,904 to 2,107 square feet, 16 townhomes ranging from approximately 1,782 to 2,087 square feet, and the historic Mirassou House.  The community will feature a prominently-placed park, and many heritage trees will be preserved creating an immediate sense of neighborhood for the new residents.

The community is expected to open in early 2012, with prices anticipated from the $700,000s for single-family homes and the $500,000s for the townhomes.

“We are really excited to be introducing a new community in San Jose, and feel that the community will be a wonderful addition to the prized, established neighborhood that surrounds it,” said Robert Freed, president and CEO of SummerHill Homes.  “Our architects have developed exceptional homes and a site plan designed for pedestrian friendly access to access new retail shops anticipated to open nearby.”

SummerHill recently debuted models at The Enclave at Waverly Park in Mountain View with over 1,000 people attending the grand opening on Saturday, April 16^th.  The community has received substantial interest with its rare offering of new traditional-style, single-family homes on large flat lots.  Prices from the $1,600,000s 

Later this year, SummerHill will open two new communities in San Ramon and Saratoga.  Roubion in San Ramon will feature single-family homes with spectacular views in the hills of west San Ramon in Norris Canyon Estates.  The homes will range in size from approximately 3,400 to 4,200 square feet.  Prices anticipated from the low $1,000,000s.

Creekside at Saratoga will feature 20 townhomes near Big Basin Way in Saratoga.  The homes will range in size from approximately 1,992 to 3,774 square feet.  Prices anticipated from the low $1,000,000s.
