A Modern Farmhouse On Nearly 13 Idyllic Acres
Welcome to understated elegance on nearly 13 acres of pastoral beauty in Castro Valley. With
multiple fenced pastures spanning approximately 6 of the 12.82 acres, this stunning estate
blends modern luxury with the timeless charm of farm life.
Designed by Malcolm Davis Architecture, the fire-resistant barn was originally built to house
15 collectible cars but offers endless possibilities—storage, livestock, horses, or even a
brewery-ready garage. The nearly new modern farmhouse is an architectural masterpiece,
featuring high-end finishes, soaring ceilings, Porcelain tiled floor, and custom, hand-built
cabinetry by master woodworker Bruce Gordon, crafted from Native California Sycamore,
Maple, Walnut, and Teak. Expansive accordion doors connect the open-concept living and
dining area to a deck overlooking the serene landscape, creating effortless indoor-outdoor flow.
There are 2-bedrooms, plus an office that could transform to a 3rd bedroom that are
bathed in natural light, with a spacious mudroom/laundry leading to the rear deck.
The lush landscape is equally enchanting with drought-resistant native plants, dry-farmed
almond trees, mature plum trees perfect for homemade jam, and stone patios wrapped in
climbing roses. A hot tub tucked into the yard offers a private escape to soak in the scenery.
Thoughtfully maintained, nearly all major systems—including electrical, plumbing, furnace,
and septic—have been upgraded in the last five years. There are also three 5,000 gallon water
tanks on the property.
With easy access to Hwy 580, this estate offers a perfect balance of privacy and convenience.
Come experience the magic of this one-of-a-kind modern farmstead—and be sure to say
hello to Dumpling and Ruby, the resident Irish cows!
