House with garden Lafayette (United States)
Set on a quiet lane among other homes of distinction, this shingle-clad residence marries Craftsman warmth with Cape Cod restraint. Behind an electronic gate, a drive winds past mature oaks to a portico and a copper front door, the first hint of the material that recurs throughout the home. The entertainment rooms open directly off the entry: a dining room to the right that seats ten with ease beneath a striking chandelier, and a generous living room to the left beneath another. Beyond them, family life gathers around an immense wood-burning fireplace framed in stone and crowned by a copper mantel and chimney, with a built-in media cabinet ready for whatever the evening calls for. The kitchen is the heart of the house and has been outfitted accordingly, with Wolf, Sub-Zero and Bosch appliances, expansive quartz counters and island, a marble-tile backsplash, custom sliding cabinetry, and a hood sheathed in sculptural stone. The breakfast nook, with built-in bench seating, is the venue for informal meals alongside. Outdoors, a long loggia accommodates a guest list of nearly any size, overlooking newly replanted gardens and established orange, maple, magnolia and strawberry trees, while water features carry streams over rock to the terraces below. For those with children, there is a playhouse and an installed swing and slide set. The primary suite occupies the main level and looks out over the rear gardens, with an adjoining sitting room, a walk-in closet fitted with custom shelving and drawers, and a bathroom appointed with an oversized shower and soaking tub. A wide staircase, its copper railing echoing the front door, rises to four additional bedrooms, multiple bathrooms, private decks, and a library and sitting area. Should five bedrooms prove insufficient, an ADU above the garage offers a bedroom, full bathroom and kitchenette, ideal for guests or for intergenerational living. The garage entry leads into a well-equipped mudroom and laundry with custom cubbies, LG appliances and a built-in ironing board. The home was remodeled six years ago; a high-performance two-zone HVAC system followed three years later, along with new shades and Toto washlets throughout. Parking is easy, with a four-car garage and a separate parking court. Springhill Elementary and Acalanes High are moments away.

House with pool and garden Orinda (United States)
The Orinda Country Club was founded in 1924, and this magnificent hacienda — known as Casa Azul — was built soon after, close by OCC's historic first fairway. Lovingly restored between 2020 and 2025, the home combines classic Mediterranean style with every modern convenience, impeccable landscaping, and a carriage house-turned-guest house ideal for guests and intergenerational living. The remodel added modern touches while preserving the home's soul. Enter on a gated driveway and survey the hacienda's grand facade, evoking the era of the Spanish explorers of the 18th and 19th centuries. Ten massive Italian cypress trees and towering redwoods stand guard over the 2.3-acre estate, joined by magnolias, lavender, jasmine, ferns, white birch, plum and cherry trees, white roses and azaleas, verbena, a walking path, and a water feature that babbles like a brook in nature. The setting delivers privacy, elegance, and quiet grandeur. Inside, the home unfolds with rare scale and craftsmanship. The formal entry introduces a gracious floor plan, where the primary entertainment spaces reveal themselves in sequence. The ballroom, spanning approximately 600 square feet, is designed for gatherings both intimate and expansive. A wood-burning fireplace with marble surround wards off winter chill, while an ornate chandelier and richly detailed wood ceiling set a scene for memorable evenings. Nearby, the living room offers a more contemplative retreat. Nearly 500 square feet, with extensive built-in shelving and a fireplace, it suits quiet reading or lively conversation. The adjacent kitchen has been thoughtfully remodeled, blending timeless design with modern function. Under a beamed ceiling, quartz counters and a generous island provide ample workspace and seating, while a bay window frames serene garden views. A butler's pantry with wine refrigerator and abundant storage supports entertaining both grand and intimate. Casual living spaces flow from the kitchen, including a dining room beneath a century-old chandelier with garden outlooks on two sides, and a charming sunroom ideal for everyday meals. A well-appointed exercise room and powder room complete the main level, with abundant storage throughout. Two stairways — one from the grand foyer, the other from the kitchen — lead to the bedroom level, where four spacious en-suite bedrooms provide privacy and comfort. The principal suite opens to a covered terrace overlooking the gardens and features a custom walk-in closet and an elegant bathroom with dual sinks and a dual-head shower. Each secondary bedroom is generously proportioned, with distinctive features including garden views, terrace access, dressing rooms, and a sunroom. A further level above offers a bonus room, ideal as an office or creative retreat, with windows on three sides capturing the surrounding greenery. The grounds are nothing short of extraordinary. Designed as a private resort, the rear yard offers a pool, spa, sauna, pickleball court, playhouse, outdoor kitchen and barbecue, grassy play areas, and multiple seating venues including a pergola-shaded lounge and outdoor fireplace. Meandering paths, a water feature with natural filtration, and an extraordinary collection of mature plantings create a setting that is curated and serene. Equally impressive is the stand-alone guest house, built from scratch on the site of the original carriage house. At 2,350 square feet, it offers two bedrooms, two and one-half bathrooms, a full kitchen, and multiple living spaces, ideal for extended family, guests, or multigenerational living. Additional features include a basement workshop, extensive storage, an EV charging station, and proximity to Orinda Village and BART. The result is both seclusion and convenience. This is a rare offering: a property of substance, beauty, and enduring appeal, where architecture, grounds, and lifestyle come together in a setting both exceptional and timeless.

House with garden Piedmont (United States)
Completed in 2007 through a collaboration between Charlie Barnett Associates and Tucker & Marks, this six en suite bedroom, ten bathroom estate sits on a serene 4+ acre oasis, integrating classic architecture with modern features in a spectacular natural setting bordered by a spring-fed creek. Every window frames natural beauty, beckoning guests outdoors to discover its hidden treasures. As one enters through the grand, custom-forged iron gate, the pace of urban life falls away into a sanctuary of quietude, artisanal detail, and intimate legacy gardens. The Bay Area's best schools, parks, and restaurants are minutes away, as are the city and international airports. Here, five-star luxury and your own private park coexist in arguably the best temperate climate in the Bay Area. The landscape—home to hundreds of legacy oaks, redwoods, and native flora—creates instantaneous privacy and serenity from the moment of arrival. The home's custom cast-concrete surrounds lead to a generous foyer on perfect axis with the solarium, back lawn, lap pool, and pool house. Perfect symmetry abounds. To the left of the foyer, two muscular Honduran oak doors frame the archway into the formal living room, with its coffered ceiling and arched leaded glass window overlooking a garden reminiscent of Monet's Giverny. A sweeping staircase to the right leads past a hidden office with private terrace. The light through the custom glass dome adds to the magical feeling of being held lovingly in a home. Every inch reflects this level of detail and intentionality—the product of thoughtful architectural and landscape design combined with superb construction, which anchors the home—literally and figuratively—to its setting like a natural rock formation (Piedmont: the foot of the mountains). Each room tells a story of global treasure hunting—from a 400-year-old antique fireplace surround to custom wood-coffered ceilings, masterfully milled floors, heavy Honduran doors, and hand-forged gilded iron railings throughout. And yet the estate is thoroughly modern: Savant automation, multi-layered security, Lutron lighting, Sonos sound, and a full-property LNG generator. Built to a standard rarely seen today, the home features double-framed walls for absolute acoustic privacy and a seismic foundation of nearly 150 steel-reinforced concrete piers. The kitchen blends custom cabinetry with professional Sub-Zero and Miele utility. Upstairs, the primary suite rivals the world's finest hotels—a groin-vaulted vestibule, French marble fireplace, dual boutique closets, and heated marble floors. Five additional en suites offer the same attention to detail. Bathed in a south/southwest orientation, the estate enjoys a temperate microclimate reminiscent of the south of France. Over 2,000 square feet of antique Italian tile terraces lead to a massive 70-foot saltwater lap pool and fireplace cabana, all surrounded by legacy oaks in full sun. Swim laps, lounge in the pool house, or sun yourself on the chaises while listening to babbling brook and birdsong. The scale rivals most luxury hotels. Suzman & Cole's design weaves nearly a mile of walking paths through over 300 legacy oaks, redwoods, and palms. Bordered by Indian Creek and an on-site well with automated irrigation, the estate is a self-sufficient natural oasis. What sets this property apart is not any single feature but the intentional convergence of all of them. Every decision—architectural, horticultural, structural—reflects a thoughtful vision that gives the home genuine character and soul. The result is a sublime harmony between house, garden, and nature. This is not simply a residence—it is a legacy property and work of art, unmatched in the Bay Area.

House with garden Danville (United States)
More than 15 years in the planning, design and development, the 69 homes in Danville’s Magee Preserve are almost all sold and occupied. Now the best and largest of those homes, 108 Brumby Street—the community’s flagship model home—comes to market for the first time. The spectacular Mediterranean-style home offers five bedrooms and five-and-a-half bathrooms over approximately 5,600 square feet, under elevated ceilings, just a mile down the road from the Diablo Country Club. More than 380 acres of open space surround the property, with hiking and biking trails in every direction. Yet the dining, shopping, amenities and schools of Danville are just a short drive away. Enter from the porch to a foyer with a formal living room and spacious office on either side, and pass the unique interior courtyard and loggia, with an oversized fireplace ready to ward off any winter chill. The heart of the home lies beyond, with an open-concept kitchen (with two dishwashers, spacious quartzite counters, and an island), informal dining nook (seating six to eight, plus four more in bar seating at the kitchen’s island) and family room looking out to the back yard and hillside beyond. Distinctive 5 plank hardwoods grace the premises throughout. A walk-in pantry and butler’s pantry house all the necessities for dining and entertaining, and the formal dining room (220 square feet in size) sits alongside. Hidden ceiling speakers set the mood with one’s music of choice. A bedroom with en-suite bathroom, ideal for guests, completes the first floor. A dramatic stairway, under a spectacular chandelier, leads upward to four more bedrooms (each with en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet), a rec room nearly 300 square feet in size, and a deck overlooking the interior courtyard. The principal suite is grand, with a bedroom of nearly 350 square feet, two walk-in closets that will accommodate any wardrobe, and a bathroom with an oversized shower (with three heads), a soaking tub, and two sinks. Laundry could not be more convenient. The principal laundry room is upstairs, with ample counter space; a smaller laundry is located downstairs. The backyard exemplifies the best of Danville outdoor living. A built-in Lynx barbecue and ample counter space are perfect for summer grilling, and the expansive deck and an elite gas firepit accommodate residents and guests. The yard already is immaculately landscaped, and the hillside beyond (all open space, immune from development) offers gorgeous landscapes that range from green to golden with the season. A hazard abatement district maintains the hillsides, and sophisticated drains divert rainfall. The home was built with Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) construction features, including fire-resistant siding and garage doors, and concrete slate roofing. A sophisticated security system protects the premises. Parking is easy, with three garage spaces (with EV charging), ample space on the driveway and quiet road alongside, and a small auxiliary parking area down the street.

House with garden Orinda (United States)
Masterfully crafted and warmly modern, this sophisticated Wilder estate is one of the neighborhood’s signature homes. Set on an expansive lot on a premier, tucked-away street, it captures wide-open hillside views while feeling private, quiet, and deeply connected to the landscape. An oversized 11-foot pivot door opens to a 3-story steel staircase with solid oak treads—a sculptural centerpiece. Soaring ceilings and walls of Fleetwood glass draw your eye to the hills beyond, while white oak floors and custom lighting give the great room a warm, gallery-like glow. A three-sided fireplace anchors the living space, creating a cozy focal point for intimate evenings and large gatherings. The kitchen is a true chef’s stage, organized for cooking, family life, and effortless entertaining. A 22’ Calacatta marble island with seating for 6 runs the length of the room, paired with Miele range and refrigeration, Thermador dishwashers, beverage and wine fridges, and integrated pull-outs that keep counters clear. Hidden cabinetry and a generous walk-in pantry keep appliances tucked away so the space always feels calm. Just off the kitchen, a stylish powder room serves guests, while a corner office with pocket doors and sweeping views makes working from home feel like a treat. A mudroom and storage closets keep gear and essentials organized. The home’s lower level is devoted to play, wellness, and entertainment. A generous rec room and playroom open to the outdoors and include a sleek wet bar with Miele appliances and a child-safe fireplace: equally comfortable as a kids’ zone, teen hangout, or game-day lounge. The gym features a sprung floor, mirrored walls, and an adjacent steam shower. A nearby laundry room makes it easy to drop workout gear and towels straight into the wash. Upstairs, the primary suite becomes a private retreat. Two walk-in closets, one with a marble-topped island and media display so the dressing area feels like its own lounge. The spa-inspired bathroom pairs Gucci wallpaper with heated floors, a soaking tub, and a spacious shower with multiple fixtures. Sliding doors open to a private terrace the length of the suite—panoramic views and a secluded spot for morning coffee or sunset wine. Two additional bedrooms sit across a glass-railed walkway, with a laundry room—dual washers, dual dryers, and custom cabinetry—close by. A fourth bedroom suite on the lower level has exterior access, ideal for guests, au pair, or extended family. Outdoor living is equally considered. Multiple terraces and a broad, level lawn flow from the main living spaces. The rear yard reads like a modern piazza: generous patio zones for lounging and dining, an outdoor fireplace for cool evenings, and a large grass expanse for soccer, tag, or a casual wiffle-ball game. Native plantings, raised garden beds, and hillside landscaping soften the home’s clean lines. Behind the aesthetics is a quiet, robust infrastructure. A Savant home-automation system with Lutron lighting puts control of lights, shades, music, and entertainment at your fingertips via app or keypads. A solar array feeds 4 Tesla Powerwalls, complemented by a Generac backup generator, allowing the home to run off-grid for extended periods—rare peace of mind during Bay Area outages. Integrated speakers inside and out, automatic recessed blinds, hospital-grade air filtration, and an EV-ready three-car garage reflect the home’s forward-thinking design. As part of Wilder, residents enjoy a resort-style clubhouse with pool and fitness center, community playfields, and quick access to hiking and biking trails, all within the Orinda school district with neighborhood bus service. From its architecture and materials to its storage-rich, family-friendly floor plan and large-scale entertaining capacity—multiple dishwashers, multiple laundry zones—this is a modern estate crafted to be a “forever home.”

House with garden and terrace Glen Ellen (United States)
This estate, known as Villa Montebella, won the 2024 Vacation Property of the Year award. Now newly refinished, the villa is ready to become someone’s family residence, a home for multigenerational living, or an incomparable vacation mecca for family and friends. The compound comprises 5 buildings with 8765 square feet over 25.91 acres, with 8 bedrooms and 8 full and 2 half bathrooms. Surrounding the buildings are a cabernet sauvignon vineyard, a 45-foot swimming pool surrounded by deck space for lounging, a built-in hot tub accommodating 8-10, a bocce ball court, a lawn for volleyball, badminton, and croquet, a pool house with a sauna and steam shower, a lighted tennis court, balconies and decks surveying the lush hills on all sides, dozens of palms standing as much as 60 feet tall, other mature trees, and a breathtaking, 4860-square-foot wine cave with a dining area, sitting and tasting area, game room (with tables for shuffleboard, ping-pong, air hockey, and foosball), and a spacious wing where wine ages in casks. A multizone Sonos sound system supplies one’s choice of music throughout most of the property. Enter over a long private drive, winding upward through a canopy of oaks and madrone trees, with colorful oleander shrubs alongside. The stunning villa then bursts into view, surrounded by the terraced vineyards, manicured lawns, exotic plants, and beautiful gardens. Soaring palms gently sway in the breeze. Privacy is absolute; not a single automobile can be heard in the distance, and yet the estate’s entrance is just a mile from world-class dining and wineries. The centerpiece of the living areas is the Main House, under 20-foot beamed ceilings. It features the principal suite, 2 other bedrooms, a dining room more than 250 square feet in size that seats 10-14 with ease, a 560-square-foot living room (under skylights, with a wood-burning fireplace to ward off winter chill), and refinished decks and terraces that look in every direction. The kitchen, set under 3 skylights, features a Viking range with 8 burners and 2 ovens, and warming drawers alongside. Distinctive white-tile counters and an island are the room’s centerpiece, with a breakfast bar seating 8-10, and alcove seating in addition. A Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer, 2 Bosch dishwashers, and 3 sinks feature every convenience. A butler’s pantry with custom cabinetry sits alongside, and the well-equipped laundry room is close at hand. The principal suite and 2 other bedrooms lie upstairs. The en-suite bath for the principal suite is particularly noteworthy, with distinctive blue tiling, benches on two sides, a skylight, and 4 showerheads. The other bedrooms are found in the outlying buildings, assuring privacy to family members and guests. The hexagonal Lighthouse Suite offers a bedroom of nearly 500 square feet, full bath and office. On the floor below, a THX movie theater more than 750 square feet in size will entertain residents and guests. On the other side of the Main House, the Penthouse building’s bedroom is nearly 400 square feet, with an adjoining bath. The living room below and terraces and deck alongside provide views in every direction, and the building has its own laundry room. The Vineyard House close by features the remaining 2 bedrooms, one upstairs and the other downstairs, each with en-suite baths. This house offers particularly stunning views of the vineyard. The final bedroom and en-suite bath are in the Tennis House, adjacent to the court that alternatively could be configured for pickleball. Parking is easy on the motor court or in the enclosed garage adjacent to the tennis court. There is a charging station for electric vehicles and a generator to furnish emergency power. Well water irrigates the grounds. Whether for fun, solitude, winemaking, or family events for all generations, Villa Montebella is simply incomparable.
