About This Home

As of March 2025

Though just 4 miles from Moraga shopping, this country home puts residents a world away from the stress of modern life. The farm-style home sits on more than 5.6 acres surrounded by creeks on 3 sides, with redwood, pine, and apple trees everywhere. The home offers corrals front and back and a classic barn, and the McCosker Park trails invite exploration across the way. Relax on the patios in warm weather; in cooler months, enjoy the family room, where 1 of the home’s 4 fireplaces wards off any chill. (If that does not suffice, the outdoor hot tub will do so.) The kitchen (with classic Big Chill appliances, bar seating, and a walk-in pantry), lies adjacent to the dining room, living room and a speakeasy-style hidden sitting room. A rustic cabin sits adjacent to the corrals. The home’s well water fills a 2500-gallon tank, and a private fire hydrant offers added security. Two garages and the stone driveway accommodate all cars. Nearby Canyon School offers K-8 education; students thereafter may attend Miramonte or Campolindo High. One need not deal with busy roads to reach urban areas; simply proceed 1.7 miles over the hill to reach Skyline/Montclair. Cyclists on the road often stop to admire this property, what they call “The Farm”; it is a picturesque country icon.
