About this property

Bay Area Refuge- Waterfall/Cave-Spa, Pool, Breathtaking Views and Hiking

Relax and rejuvenate your spirit in this uniquely designed home, situated under a canopy of sprawling oaks and with incredible panoramic views of Mt. Diablo and the valley. Multiple areas to relax.

Hang out on the deck with a glass of wine, take a dip in the refreshing salt-water pool, or just melt away in our therapeutic cave spa. There is hiking trail access via winding stairs located at the bottom of the property.

This property lets you get away from it all, while at the same time it's just minutes away from 5-star restaurants, entertainment, and major freeways.

Centrally located in the East Bay just minutes from Lafayette and Walnut Creek downtowns, Berkeley, and ~35mins from San Francisco.


The pool area is quite unique and offers a very natural landscape where guests can swim from the pool, go under the waterfall and climb into the cave spa. The salt water pool is intended to provide a perfect thermal experience as guests heat up in the spa and cool down by dipping in the pool and then repeating the cycle.

The kitchen is perfect for creating culinary experiences with a 6-burner gas range and double convection oven to cook up the perfect meal, and enjoy it with friends and family around the 7 foot island that can seat 8 people. The sliding glass doors off the kitchen provide access to the pool deck and the gas grill.

The living room has three French doors that look out onto the deck, which is perfect for outdoor dining in the warmer months.

The upstairs loft is said to be everyone's favorite refuge with a bird’s eye view of the surrounding hills.

Each bedroom is uniquely decorated and has luxury linens. Two of the bathrooms have extra-large showers with rock walls giving the feeling of a tropical outdoor shower. Both of these showers have just been remodeled with European pebble and textured tile.

A laundry room in the guest bathroom is available, with detergent included, for your use.

Professionally cleaned and sanitized between each guest.
