Alamo, CA – May 4, 2023
A magnificent Mediterranean gated villa on almost eight fully fenced acres bordering Mt. Diablo State Park offers an elevated level of architectural detailing and desired luxury reserved for those seeking an exceptional East Bay residence in the Round Hill Country Club.
Custom curated from the ground up, exceeding engineering, building, and design standards is almost 9,000 square feet of living space, including the eight-bedroom main home, an all-new detached 1,100 square-foot, one-bedroom, one-bathroom ADU with amazing views from wall-to-wall windows, and a one-bedroom, one-bathroom guest/pool house. Resort-worthy outdoor entertaining venues from a gorgeous pool, spa, fire pit, lighted tennis court, and outdoor kitchen to patios, verandas, and a 1,000-square-foot deck offer room to entertain at every level.
Sensitive to the lands natural topography that offers a blend of three level building sites, a creek, and gentle slopes that reach the edge of the parkland, the villas design retained its almost three dozen 200-300-year-old oak trees that create verdant backdrops or natural canopies for the outdoor venues. About 50 trees were added to the dramatic landscape, including four mature Canary palm trees.
The only home in the 188-home Round Hill Country Club neighborhood with private hiking and equestrian access to Mt. Diablo State Park, it is also only one of three zoned for horses.
Driving over a Contech custom-designed, built, and fortified double-wide bridge gives you the first glimpse of this home’s grandeur behind a multi-tiered Cantera Stone fountain handcrafted in Mexico.
Behind the double copper-clad front door with a wide transom is an elegant foyer featuring a dramatic 35-foot domed ceiling with uplighting. The two-level home showcases hand-troweled plaster walls, soaring coffered and curved ceilings, Italian marble tile flooring with decorative inlays, walls of windows framing garden and hillside views, custom cabinetry, crown molding, gallery lighting, hand-forged iron stair railings, handcrafted chandeliers and light fixtures imported from Mexico, arched entries, plush carpeting, two staircases, and Andersen windows and doors.
A stunning formal living room with a fireplace and front-facing bay window and a dining room that can easily accommodate a table for 14 flank the dramatic entry and are conveniently close to a 1,000+ bottle wine cellar. Step into a gourmet kitchen appointed with granite counters, an oversized island/breakfast bar, custom cabinetry, a walk-in pantry, dual Miele ovens, a six-burner Thermador cooktop with a grill, dishwasher, and a SubZero refrigerator. An expansive casual dining rotunda has backyard views from the walls of windows.

Two sets of French doors open to create a seamless flow to the romantic and large veranda where ivy gracefully climbs the walls. Steps connect this venue to the pool, spa, outdoor kitchen, patios, and Trex deck.
The eight bedrooms, six bathrooms, and two half baths in the main home include a main-level bedroom/office with an en suite.
