Blackhawk, CA 94506

Warm, sun-kissed terracotta hues and a resort-inspired backyard design transport your senses south of the border at this exceptionally designed 1.8-acre Blackhawk estate just inside the East Gate.

Bordering open space on two sides, this unique property offers unobstructed east-facing views of the Tassajara Valley and awe-inspiring sunrises.

More than $1M and 18 months were lavishly spent transforming the sprawling front and back yards into a luxurious paradise for entertaining on any scale and five-star relaxation. Step out onto expansive patios on two levels bordered by the most lush foliage bursting with seasonal color from towering birds of paradise and flowering Strawberry Trees to crimson bougainvillea and multihued roses. Dozens of mature palm trees and their graceful canopies dot the landscape, creating an ultra-private oasis in the heart of this gated East Bay country club.

Multiple venues entice outdoor dining or intimate gatherings around the fire pits, lounging poolside, on its Baja Shelf, or basking in the oversized hot tub. Pick up a game of basketball, pickleball, or volleyball on the expansive sports court. Get together with family and friends for the idyllic dining experience in the gorgeous 800 square-foot cabana with its wood-burning fireplace, stone surround and rustic beam mantel, and four sets of French doors that open to the gardens and views. Fire up the built-in FireMagic grill and burners, set the outdoor surround sound to your favorite tracks to create the perfect ambiance, and get the party started.

Behind a tiered fountain discovered at a Santa Fe, New Mexico resort, paver walkways, a verdant lawn, and flourishing garden beds is about 4,619 square feet of living space on two levels.
