Two opportunities to own unique and extraordinary properties located along the picturesque Morgan Territory Road offer the perfect balance between a rural setting and proximity to downtown.
A magnificent hilltop estate brilliantly balances country charm with a stylish interior filled with new features and amenities for today’s lifestyle.
The turnkey 20-acre estate with jaw-dropping panoramic views of the Livermore Valley and surrounding rolling hillsides was recently renovated with more than $750,000 in updates. It is a gorgeous homestead and ultimate sanctuary within an eight-minute drive to downtown, freeways, award-winning wineries, and top-of-the-line culinary experiences.
Almost 6,000 square feet of living space on two levels showcases gorgeous marble and white oak floors, soaring ceilings, walls of windows, a fresh palette of colors, and an open, light-filled floor plan that seamlessly flows to outdoor venues through multiple French doors.
Up the road is about 8 acres of gorgeous land and a blank canvas to create the home of your dreams. Behind a gated stone entry handcrafted by a local artisan is this pristine acreage with underground utilities, water from a high-pressure well and room to grow. Bordering about 100 acres of EBMUD land, it faces an additional more than 300 acres owned by the park district, which means ultimate privacy. Above the fog that rolls into the valley, this property offers breathtaking views that sweep across the valley and as far away as San Mateo.
Almost 7,000 feet of handcrafted stone walls embrace this land at 10 Storybook Lane, an enchanting property where you can envision your dream home and watch it come to life.
Or you can step into a beautifully designed home featuring five bedrooms and five-and-a-half bathrooms, including a main-level primary suite and two guestrooms with en suites, a great room and a chef’s kitchen designed for large-scale entertaining, a lower-level bonus/media room, and an office. Two additional bedrooms with an en suite and a full kitchen on the lower level have a private entry and patio and are ideal for multigenerational living.
View windows frame the natural and inspiring art from every room, and multiple French doors open onto a Trex deck and other view terraces.
The chef’s kitchen features quartz counters, a full-size Sub-Zero refrigerator and full-size Sub-Zero freezer, a Thermador dual-oven range with six burners and griddle, a stainless backsplash, and a Miele dishwasher. A walk-around bar in the dining area has a wine refrigerator.
A grand staircase with a decorative iron railing sweeps to a lower level, where the bonus room has a walk-around bar with stunning waterfall granite counters, a sink and dual wine refrigerators. Two sets of French doors open onto an east-facing view patio.
