Shopping for a Home in a Secluded Setting

This week, let’s get away from it all. 

Have you ever heard a ringing phone and realized it’s your neighbors? Listened to loud kids across the fence in the backyard? Or their even louder parents? Is it maybe a little too convenient for your neighbor to “borrow” your tools, camera, birthday candles, etc? Maybe you’re ready to consider a more secluded setting.

Here are some homes that are tucked away from it all.

Alamo

2471 Royal Oaks Dr. is offered by Jay Weymouth of Re/Max Accord. This home, located in Roundhill Country Club, is surprisingly secluded: gated and set off the road. It’s 3,500 square feet, with 4 bedrooms, 4 full baths and 2 partial baths, on a .66 acre lot that overlooks the golf course. The backyard has a nice pool, the home has two master suites, and the location is special. See the virtual tour. Priced at $1,175,000. For questions or showings, please call Jay at 925-915-1100.

Danville

490 Clipper Hill Rd. is my listing and is situated on an acre in a wonderful westside Danville location. It is just a half mile from downtown Danville, yet it feels like country on this one acre parcel of towering oaks. It’s a secluded and beautiful setting, accessed by crossing a charming wooden bridge over the creek. The home has three bedrooms plus a loft on 2,700 square feet. The kitchen is equipped with stainless appliances, granite countertops, and a large center island. See the virtual tour. Priced at $1,000,000. Open Sunday from 1-4 p.m. or call me at 925-285-1728 for a showing.

San Ramon

18115 Bollinger Canyon Rd. is offered by Ron Gatti of J. Rockcliff. A delightful “ranchette” that is described as “city close, country quiet.” Three separate residences on 4.5 acres plus a pool. This property backs to Las Trampas park, so you can ride your horse directly to the trails. Priced at $1,575,000. For showings or more information, please call Ron at 925-596-1972.

Dublin

7020 Tassajara Rd. is offered by Roger Manning of Keller Williams. Secluded, certainly--this home comes with 4.3 acres and has the potential to develop the land. Move into the four bedroom single story home, keep an acre for yourself, so you don't hear the neighbor's phone ringing—and develop the rest.  Priced at $1,995,000. For information please call Roger at 925-426-3818.
