Why they chose this property
Nestled in the Oakland Hills along Skyline Boulevard, this home is surrounded by mature redwoods, fresh air, and peaceful hillside views—offering a true nature-forward experience while still being close to the city.
This area is known for its quiet, residential feel, winding scenic roads, and immediate access to some of the East Bay’s best outdoor spaces. Guests love being just minutes from:
Redwood Regional Park and Joaquin Miller Park for hiking, biking, and trail running
Montclair Village, with local cafés, grocery stores, and restaurants
Oakland Zoo, a short drive away
Easy routes to Berkeley, downtown Oakland, and San Francisco
It’s an ideal neighborhood for guests who value privacy, tranquility, and nature, while still wanting convenient access to urban amenities.

What makes this property unique
This is not a typical backyard ADU—it’s a purpose-built, design-forward retreat set within a resort-like outdoor environment.
What truly sets this property apart:
Private rear ADU with its own entrance, separated from the main home for a quiet, secluded stay
Resort-style outdoor amenities, including a swimming pool, hot tub, expansive deck, and fire pit surrounded by trees
Modern architecture and interiors, blending clean lines with warm natural textures
Forest immersion—guests wake up to birdsong, filtered sunlight, and redwood views rather than street noise
A rare combination of nature + luxury + proximity to the Bay Area
Many guests describe the space as feeling like a boutique hotel hidden in the woods, offering an experience that’s difficult to find anywhere else in Oakland.
