About
Set behind dual gates at the end of a private drive and spanning approximately 107 acres in the rolling hills of Livermore Valley, this extraordinary estate offers a rare combination of architectural significance, resort-style living, complete privacy, and breathtaking natural beauty just minutes from Blackhawk and the greater Bay Area. Designed by acclaimed architect William Wood and completed in 2008, the single-story residence encompasses approximately 8,144 square feet with 5 bedrooms, 5 full baths, and 2 half baths, thoughtfully positioned to capture panoramic sunrise and sunset views from nearly every room.
The approach to the property immediately establishes a sense of arrival. Winding through open countryside, vineyards, and rolling hillsides, the private drive leads to a dramatic roundabout framed by mature landscaping, timeless architecture, and sweeping views stretching toward Mt. Diablo and beyond. Elevated above the valley below, the estate evokes the atmosphere of a secluded Tuscan retreat while remaining remarkably connected to Danville, Blackhawk, the East Bay, Silicon Valley, San Francisco, and San Jose.
Designed for both grand-scale entertaining and refined everyday living, the residence blends warmth, craftsmanship, and scale throughout. Soaring ceilings with exposed wood beams, custom finishes, custom millwork, rich stonework, arched passageways, and expansive windows create interiors that feel both luxurious and inviting. Every major living space was intentionally designed to embrace the surrounding landscape, bringing natural light and dramatic hillside views into the home from sunrise to sunset.
At the center of the home, the chef’s kitchen was designed to accommodate both intimate gatherings and large-scale entertaining with premium appliances, custom cabinetry, expansive prep areas, and a spacious butler’s pantry that enhances both functionality and flow. The kitchen connects seamlessly to the home’s formal and informal living spaces, creating an ideal environment for hosting while maintaining a comfortable and highly livable floorplan. Additional entertaining spaces throughout the home include a striking interior bar, temperature-controlled wine cellar, office/library, private theater room, and a glass-enclosed in-home car showroom designed to showcase collector vehicles as part of the residence itself.
The primary suite serves as a luxurious private retreat positioned to capture the estate’s extraordinary setting and tranquil views. The spa-inspired primary bath features dual walk-in closets, separate his-and-her water closets, and generous proportions designed to create both comfort and privacy. Additional bedroom suites are spacious, well-appointed, and carefully positioned throughout the residence to accommodate family and guests alike.
Outdoor living is equally compelling and was designed to fully embrace the Northern California lifestyle. The resort-inspired grounds feature a stunning pool and spa overlooking the surrounding hills and vineyard landscape, expansive patios and entertaining areas, manicured lawns, mature olive trees, a bocce ball court, and an outdoor BBQ area perfectly suited for hosting guests while enjoying the property’s remarkable privacy and scenery. From intimate evenings overlooking the valley lights to large gatherings under the open sky, the estate offers a setting that feels both peaceful and unforgettable.
For car collectors, enthusiasts, or those seeking exceptional utility space, the property offers approximately 13 garage spaces across three separate garage structures in addition to expansive guest parking and roundabout access areas. The garages themselves are a defining feature of the estate, offering functionality, scale, and flexibility rarely found in residential properties of this caliber.
Beyond its architectural beauty and entertaining appeal, the property was designed to support long-term livability, privacy, and functionality on an exceptional scale. Infrastructure and utility features are substantial, complementing the estate’s self-sufficient feel while preserving comfort and convenience within the larger acreage. A fully fenced homesite area surrounding the residence further enhances the sense of security, separation, and exclusivity.
Despite its remarkable sense of seclusion, the estate remains conveniently positioned approximately 13 minutes from Blackhawk East Gate and within close proximity to top East Bay destinations, award-winning wineries, downtown Danville, Walnut Creek, and major commuter corridors connecting Silicon Valley, San Francisco, and San Jose. The property offers a rare opportunity to experience true estate living within the Bay Area. Private, elevated, and surrounded by natural beauty, yet still connected to the region’s business, technology, dining, and cultural centers.
Rarely does a property combine this level of acreage, architectural pedigree, privacy, infrastructure, entertaining capability, and proximity to the Bay Area in a single offering. More than a home, this is a true legacy estate. Designed for those who value land, craftsmanship, entertaining, car collecting, wine country living, and the enduring luxury of space, serenity, and arrival.
