Reward yourself with top-of-the-ridge panoramic and breathtaking southern exposure views from this exceptionally crafted custom estate within the gates of the prestigious Blackhawk Country Club.
Ernie Altmann, who was devoted to building luxury estates in the area, created this ±9,580 sf estate for his family’s residence in 1988. The ridge-top splendor sprawls over an acre of land and showcases his signature craftsmanship with miles of custom-crafted wood paneling, triple-layered moldings and trims, granite fireplace hearths, glass windows, and parquet hardwood floors. Lovingly maintained by only its second owner, the estate also features custom-designed stained glass windows, plush Karastan™ carpeting, elegant chandeliers, custom carved art niches, vaulted, exposed beam and coffered ceilings, arched room entries, and front and back staircases.
There are 7 bedrooms and 7.5 baths, including a main-level guest room and a main-level 2-room suite, formal living and dining rooms, family room and an adjoining game room with a walk-around wet bar, executive office, gourmet kitchen, breakfast room, a spectacular master suite, and garage space for 5 cars with an expansive gated motor court. Above the 2-car garage is ±1,000 sf of fabulous flexible space with a wet bar, a full bathroom with sauna and jetted tub, and separate HVAC and security.
The spectacular amenities continue in the resort-inspired backyard that borders open space. There is a pool and spa, patios, a built-in barbecue with granite counter, an oversized gazebo, sports court, lush gardens, and towering redwoods with plenty of space to add your personal touch. A bronze sculpture of an eagle pays homage to its location.
Gorgeous open space and verdant hillsides surround Blackhawk and offer picturesque views, privacy, and an oasis of tranquility that is conveniently accessible to San Francisco, Silicon Valley, major international airports, shopping districts, and restaurants. Feel the sense of community and enjoy the charming downtowns of nearby Danville, historic Pleasanton, the thriving new City Center in nearby San Ramon, highly acclaimed public and private schools, equestrian centers, and the Livermore Valley Wine Country’s award-winning vineyards.
