About this property

The Gated Country Estate | High Elevation| Views| Weddings (Fee Applies)

This Gated Country Estate, surrounded by a natural stone wall, offers expansive views of the Bay Area from the snow-capped Sierras to the San Mateo peninsula and is adjacent to the Mt. Diablo/East Bay Regional Park with over 1000 miles of hiking, biking, and riding trails. Horses graze peacefully on the grassy foothills, and the estate abounds with wildlife, which you can view from the picture windows in every room. This is a beautiful venue for an event, like a wedding, but it is important to understand that events are charged separately from overnight rental.

This magnificent, serene setting has been described by visitors as comparable to being on a perennial vacation. Very private, yet just minutes from the 580 and 680 freeways, this 16-acre gated retreat has be to experienced to be believed.

Located close to the expansive Delta system connecting the Bay Area with Sacramento. Fishing, boating, swimming, and all water sports are readily available.

The location offers close proximity to airports, both private and international, Bay Area Rapid Transit, and numerous golf courses. The thriving Tri-Valley area abounds with restaurants and shopping. Numerous tourist spots are nearby: San Francisco, AT&T Ballpark, the wineries of Napa/Sonoma/Livermore, Great America, Marine World/Africa USA, and Water World. Yosemite National Park, Monterey, Carmel, Santa Cruz, and ocean beaches are close by.

This nearly 5,000 square-foot mountain home is a stunning retreat that has a gourmet kitchen; expansive family room, many antique furnishings and bathrooms with tumbled marble. The house features extensive use of redwood, hardwood flooring, marble, stone, and brick, with all the upgrades.

5/5 Excellent

Beautiful, comfortable unique home.
Our family of five from South Wales in the UK were lucky enough to stay on this unique (for us anyway) private ranch for four nights in August 2008. The house we rented is not shown here but is of equal calibre. The ranch has horses grazing nearby and I particularly enjoyed the humming birds drinking from special dispensers hung on the decking. The house, furniture etc is immaculate. We enjoyed several BBQ's there and the scenery is specatcular, especially in the mornings when the valley below is covered in fog - you really feel as though you are away from it all. These few nights, for us, were in the middle of a three week tour and either side we were in Vegas and Los Angeles, so it was really nice to have that 'quiet time' at this wonderful home. Although we did not meet Cheryl, her lovely neighbour Faye made us feel very much at home. Thanks to both ladies.

Top of the World
The views from this house are magnificent. It felt like an aleph point that was somehow in Northern California, England, Ireland, and Italy. I loved looking at a book about castles of the world while on the couch overlooking the land, sunrise and sunset. My kids loved the hottub. You can tell this home was a happy place with good vibes built into it. Hosts were communicative and helpful. We would stay again. Thanks

Secluded Getaway
The property was well maintained with a great view in a secluded area. The home has rustic charm on a horse ranch. Plenty of wildlife we seen daily. The entrance road is a little tough for someone not used to narrow pass ways but also well maintained.

Beautiful Location
We stayed here for the weekend for a book club getaway and had a great time. The host Cheryl was awesome, very accommodating and communicative when needed. There were a few hiccups outside of her control but she did her best to help. There was a major power outage for a good portion of our stay but she was great about letting us know what was going on, keeping us up to date and helping where she could. You can't beat the view and even during a power outage in a heat wave, it's location allowed for a slight breeze that kept it bearable.

Amazing country mountain home!
Cheryl’s estate is nothing short of amazing! We absolutely loved our time spent. The home is so warm and inviting, and the scene around the property is spectacular with rolling hills and mountain views, whether you love the sunrise or sunset, you have it all! The kitchen as well appointed, and the home is so comfortable and cozy! We loved watching her horses, Roam in front of us and even got to see some wild turkeys, running around and some deer. Our family truly appreciated every ounce of our stay and working with Cheryl was a real pleasure. Thank you again and we will be back!

Why they chose this property

The Gated Country Estate is a very unique opportunity for your lodging and event needs that cannot be matched in the San Francisco Bay area. We have the ability to host an event (weddings, corporate gatherings, family reunions), for an additional fee, while providing overnight lodging for up to 14 people when taking advantage of sofas. The expansive acreage, with its remarkable views, allows you to experience large estate living, as we are surrounded by more than 4700 acres of conservancy land. Our higher elevation, sometimes above the clouds, looks down across the East Bay area and it is breathtaking. Both daytime and night-time views take your breath away.
