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.

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.

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.

Privacy and proximity are the home’s hallmarks; it is a sanctuary nearly out of sight, and yet Lafayette’s restaurants and shopping, BART, and the 24 freeway are just a short way down the hill.

This is a rare retreat where comfort, creek and canopy meet, in a world of shade and greenery near the heart of Lafayette. The home has been lovingly maintained and improved by its current owner for some 40 years, and it welcomes its next owner. First, the comfort. Enter the grounds through either of two gates, and then into the house under jasmine climbing a pergola. The front door leads into a foyer under a beautiful chandelier over limestone floors. The kitchen lies just inside, featuring Miele, Bosch, and other elite appliances, a coffered ceiling with distinctive lighting, a granite island, a hidden television, a radiant-heating cooktop, two refrigerators, and custom cabinetry, all over white oak hardwoods. The family room alongside offers a television with sound bar and a Regency fireplace capable of heating the entire house. The adjacent formal dining room easily seats eight beneath a spectacular chandelier, and the living room, under an elevated sloping ceiling, features a Majestic gas fireplace and Caston speakers for one's choice of music. The home offers four bedrooms and two and one-half bathrooms. The principal suite shares its two-sided fireplace with the living room and has two walk-in closets, one spacious enough to accommodate any wardrobe. The en-suite bathroom features a four-head shower with forceful pressure, a Jacuzzi tub that fills in just 90 seconds, dual sinks, a wall heater, and timed fans. Three additional bedrooms share the same wing. Work from home is easy in the well-appointed office.

Other features abound: seven HVAC units, just four years old, with individual room-by-room temperature control; low-maintenance copper rain gutters and fascia throughout; and an elevator shaft (not currently wired) leading to extensive storage space above. Let’s return to the creek and canopy. A pathway leads from the front of the home past Coastal and California oaks, palms, willows, bays, buckeyes, pears, plums, and a noshi apple tree. A path follows Las Trampas Creek, home to ducks, egrets, and blue herons, with owls nesting across the way. A zipline and rope swing will thrill youngsters, and the ADU in the back yard can be configured as an office, yoga studio, or playhouse. A path leads to Burton Valley Elementary School, and Stanley Middle School lies directly down St. Mary's Road, near the heart of Lafayette's restaurants and shopping. The tiled outdoor deck surely will be the focus for adult entertainment, adjoining a grassy play area, a pond with a water feature, a firepit, and a grill (with rotisserie and smoker) set into Arizona sandstone counters with a warming drawer and seating for four at the bar. Extensive garden lighting and a dining area easily seating six or more will make summer evenings incomparable.

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.

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.

Spanning a single level with soaring 12 foot ceilings throughout, every detail was designed to make a statement.

Walls of glass blur the line between indoors and out, highlighted by a dramatic 10 by 20 foot sliding glass door that opens to resort style grounds. Outside, an oversized pool, multiple pool houses, outdoor entertaining areas, and sprawling level grounds create the ultimate backdrop for unforgettable gatherings. One pool house features a full kitchen, while the second offers a full bath, creating endless flexibility for guests, events, wellness, or recreation. From its grand proportions to its effortless indoor outdoor flow, 5645 Bacon Road is more than a home.

Charming three-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bathroom home in Oakland’s Dimond District, set at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac. 1,136 square feet across a well-designed split-level layout, offering separation between living spaces while maintaining an easy flow throughout. Original character details are preserved alongside practical updates, including a dedicated EV charger for added convenience. The backyard is the standout feature of this property: a large, mature lot shaded by established trees, with a water feature and California native plantings that create a cozy, private setting removed from the everyday. It’s a space suited to a range of uses — morning coffee, garden projects, outdoor entertaining, or simply additional living space beyond the home’s footprint. The cul-de-sac location limits through traffic and contributes to a genuinely quiet, settled feel, while still keeping you close to everyday conveniences.
