A rare custom garden estate in Wilder, 16 Rabble Road pairs Mediterranean-inspired architecture, extraordinary grounds, panoramic views, and exceptional multigenerational living on approximately .62 acres. Offering 4,725± sq. ft. and 5 ensuite bedrooms, this is a home designed to feel as special outdoors as it does within. Enter through a private courtyard where an enchanting garden unfolds alongside the residence, featuring an extraordinary collection of English heirloom roses, flowering gardens, and an abundant orchard of fruit trees, berries, and grapevines. A fountain, pergola, and sunken hot tub create a magical setting for dining, entertaining, and evenings under the stars. Inside, warm hardwood floors lead to an expansive great room framed by panoramic views. The chef’s kitchen features Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, quartzite island, walk-in pantry, and built-in banquette seating, while the adjoining living room is anchored by a fireplace. Four sets of glass French doors open the main living spaces to the view terrace, creating effortless indoor-outdoor living. A separate rumpus room with private courtyard entrance and fireplace offers a beautiful office, media room, or potential 6th bedroom. Upstairs, the impressive primary retreat features French doors to a generous deck, a spa-like bath with freestanding soaking tub, separate vanities, oversized shower, and custom walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms are also ensuite. The lower level is a standout: a complete second living space with full kitchen, living room, outdoor access, and two ensuite bedrooms, including one nearly primary-sized—an exceptional setup for parents, extended family, guests, or older children. Set along an intimate street of custom residences, 16 Rabble offers the best of Wilder living with community swimming and fitness amenities, miles of scenic trails and open space, sports fields, neighborhood gatherings, and top-rated Orinda schools—all just minutes from downtown Orinda, BART, and Highway 24.

Once in a while, a home comes along that genuinely stops you. 240 Tappan Lane is that home. A long cobblestone drive winds beneath a canopy of Valley oaks before this stunning 6,800 sq ft contemporary comes into view. Set on 4.63 private acres above Briones Reservoir, the architecture is striking inside and out, cedar and steel exterior, glass and light throughout. The entry sets the tone immediately with floor to ceiling windows framing the reservoir through the oaks, and Porcelanosa porcelain tile underfoot. To the left, the living room opens up with warm oak floors, an exposed cedar beam ceiling, and walls of glass that keep that view front and center. The heart of the home is the great room, where a full glass roof and floor to ceiling sliding walls open the living space directly to the pool terrace and the oaks beyond. The kitchen is thoughtfully designed with dark cabinetry, granite counters, and a gas cooktop island that looks out over the living area without being separated from it. Two bedrooms on the main floor including a primary suite keep daily living entirely on one level. A second primary suite upstairs is perfect for guests or family. Six bedrooms and six and a half baths in total, finished with real care throughout, including a spa shower tiled in graphite porcelain. The home theater is its own world, lined with framed vintage film posters and purpose built for movie nights that actually matter. Outside, a sleek pool sits within terraced concrete gardens surrounded by mature trees, with the reservoir and rolling hills as a backdrop. A four car garage and expansive motor court complete the picture. Minutes to top rated schools and downtown Orinda.
