0.78 acres of prime land in a desirable Orinda neighborhood, accessed from Barbara Road. Gently downslope with stunning views of rolling hills. Build a large single-family home or explore proposing two homes via SB 1123 (or SB 9) streamlined processes, as supported by the City of Orinda for eligible vacant single-family lots. Water access available from Barbara Rd and sewer available at Oak Rd. Buyer to verify zoning, development options, and feasibility with the City of Orinda Planning Department.
Oak Springs, located between Moraga Way and Camino Pablo, is a residential and hillside Orinda neighborhood with oak-studded slopes and winding, low-traffic lanes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Moraga Way corridor near Orinda Village, where sidewalk cafes, small boutiques, and a steady rhythm of errands set the tone. Community touchstones include Orinda Theatre, Orinda Books, and the Orinda Farmers’ Market for film nights, author talks, and weekend stalls. Homes lean toward mid-century ranches and updated traditional builds, often set back behind mature trees. Trailheads and open-space edges shape daily routines with short walks into the hills. The setting feels quiet and green, with town-center culture close by without feeling busy.
