Designed by a Japanese architect, 271 Monte Vista Ridge Rd is a distinctive hillside estate where thoughtful design and natural surroundings come together. Set above the fog on nearly 1.5 acres, this 5 bedroom, 4.5 bath home captures expansive views of Briones Open Space and the nearby reservoir. Soaring ceilings, generous room proportions, and walls of glass fill the home with exceptional natural light. An interior courtyard with a koi pond creates a serene focal point, while a flexible tatami room offers space for meditation, fitness, or creative use. A wraparound deck extends the living areas outdoors, framing panoramic views and connecting to the pool, spa, and gazebo for effortless entertaining. A spacious recreation room opens directly to the pool area, while the multi-level primary suite provides a private retreat with a spa-inspired bath and soaking tub. Additional en-suite bedrooms with deck access and two dedicated office spaces offer flexibility for a variety of lifestyles. Private yet conveniently located near top-rated Orinda schools, downtown amenities, Grizzly Peak trails, and commuter routes to San Francisco and Marin, this architect-designed home offers a rare blend of privacy, views, and timeless architecture.
