The kitchen is huge with double islands and high-end appliances.
The property offers many indoor and outdoor vantage points for taking in the views.
In the case of this 2005 property, dubbed Lake Ridge Estate, we see a modern translation of luxury living. There are 11,447 square feet of living space here.
This bedroom with its own balcony looks out over the mountain.
The dressing room off the primary bath has room to store 400 items.
The main home — or mansion, more accurately — offers a massive media room, 500-bottle wine cellar, and walk-in closets built to store 200 pairs of shoes and 200 handbags.
A dramatic hallway leads through the home.
The property features many outbuildings in addition to the mansion: the one-bedroom carriage house, itself built over a secondary nine-car garage has a full kitchen, while a one-bedroom “tennis house” includes a kitchenette.
The private theater in the main house has a wall-sized screen.
The estate’s setting is equally luxurious, set on the Alamo ridgeline and surrounded by views of Mount Diablo. The grounds feature an outdoor kitchen and bar, pool and steam room, tennis court, as well as the primary 14-car garage.
The manicured grounds seem to float over the forested valley.
Two gates protect the property, which adds to the “private resort” feel; yet in fact the town of Alamo is actually within walkable distance. “It is rare to see an estate of this quality check all the boxes for today’s lifestyle,” said Dana Green, Compass listing agent. “The ability to retreat to privacy, while remaining part of a true community, less than a mile away, is extraordinary.”
The pool at night sparkles on the huge outdoor patio.
