A Farmhouse-Style Home in Canyon

Though just 4 miles from the Moraga Shopping Center, this country home puts residents a world away from the stress of modern life.  The farm-style home, with 4 bedrooms and 2½ bathrooms and 3,622 square feet in all, sits on more than 5.6 acres surrounded by creeks on 3 sides, with redwood, pine, and apple trees everywhere.  The home offers corrals front and back and a classic barn, and the new McCosker trails invite exploration just across the way.  Other nearby trails, including Sibley, Huckleberry, and others, also beckon for hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding; one may hike to Tilden Park, or even to UC Berkeley.  Relax on the patios in warm weather; in cooler months, enjoy the comfort of the family room, where 1 of the home’s 4 fireplaces wards off any chill.  (If that does not suffice, the outdoor hot tub will do so.)  The kitchen (which boasts classic Big Chill appliances, bar seating, and a walk-in pantry), lies adjacent to the comfortable dining room, living room and a speakeasy-style hidden sitting room.  A rustic cabin sits adjacent to one of the corrals.  The home’s well water fills a 2500-gallon tank, and a private fire hydrant offers added security.  Two garages and the stone driveway accommodate all cars.  Nearby Canyon School offers K-8 education; students thereafter may attend Miramonte or Campolindo High.  One need not deal with busy roads to reach urban areas; simply proceed 1.7 miles over the hill to reach Skyline/Montclair.  Cyclists on the road often stop to admire this home and property, what they call “The Farm”; it is a picturesque country icon.
