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.
