Cows in Countrystone

Countrystone is a suburban neighborhood with thick bushes and trees near the Diablo Mountain Range, 16 miles from Oakland, California. “We still have cows on the hill,” says Ben Olson, a Realtor with Brightwork Realty Advocates who has over two decades of local experience. “The area is known for being quiet in general. It’s cozy and quiet.” Moraga has a history as a ranching and farming community, which it maintains today through its local farms and horse stables. Countrystone is close to highly rated institutions like Campolindo High School—which Olson says is a draw for people—and St. Mary’s College, a private university with a notable basketball team.
