Property Description
As you cross a storybook bridge over a gentle creek, you'll discover a rare gem in the prestigious Alhambra Valley of Martinez-a private 1.79-acre retreat that beautifully marries luxury with nature. The impressive 4,997 sq ft main residence boasts two expansive primary suites (including one on the main level with a private deck, hot tub, and outdoor shower), two additional bedrooms, and four full bathrooms. At its heart is a dramatic great room with soaring ceilings, a chef's kitchen, and walls of glass that showcase garden and woodland views from nearly every room. A versatile junior ADU/media room with its own kitchen and bath is perfect for guests or multigenerational living. Beyond the main home, a 1,110 sq ft detached structure features a 16'x37' garage, a 14'x37' retreat room, and an upstairs office loft with a private deck. Adding to the charm is a 520 sq ft A-frame cottage with a loft that overlooks the sparkling pool. The grounds are equally enchanting, with a bocce court, expansive decks, an English garden, fruit orchard, and the tranquil creek. Eco-conscious amenities include fully owned solar with backup batteries, a three-phase water filtration system, and abundant parking. This is more than a home-it's a magical estate designed for inspired living.
