Set on ~5 acres in Pleasanton, this exceptional estate defies conventional $/SF valuation. Nearly 2 acres of flat, fully usable land create a rare, park-like settingideal for recreation, gatherings, and daily enjoymentcompletely screened by mature trees for unparalleled privacy. Beyond, scenic hillside acreage serves as a natural buffer and lifestyle extension, including a leveled retreat area for outdoor use. Positioned at the base of the hill, the home benefits from a protected microclimate with calm air, heritage oaks for natural summer shading, and winter sun exposure for efficiency. A seasonal creek and Japanese-inspired garden enhance the tranquil, retreat-like atmosphere, while bird-friendly features bring vibrant natural activity. Structurally, the residence is supported by 130+ piers and complemented by a newly installed perimeter wood fence, offering stability and security. The single-level layout separates private bedroom spaces from main living and entertaining areas for optimal functionality. Additional highlights include a renovated pool, mature plantings, and approved plans for a ~1,187 SF ADU (+1,905sf), adding flexibility and long-term value. This is a private estate experiencefar beyond typical Foothill comparables. Possible to fit 20-30 cars on front yards.
Golden Eagle, located between Foothill Road and Interstate 680, is a suburban and residential Pleasanton neighborhood with rolling hillside views and a network of cul-de-sacs. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Foothill Road corridor near Bernal Avenue, where morning coffee runs and after-work errands cluster around small local storefronts. Nearby, the Firehouse Arts Center, Museum on Main, and Inklings Coffee & Tea serve as familiar cultural touchpoints. Housing leans toward late-20th-century single-family homes with tidy front yards and garage-forward streetscapes. Foothill trails and open-space edges shape a routine of walks and bike loops. Downtown Pleasanton’s brick-lined blocks add dining and events without changing the quiet, hillside feel.
