Postcard picturesque views of Mt. Diablo from Byron home
The row of rocking chairs on the front porch faces a picture postcard view of Mt. Diablo and awe-inspiring sunset shows. Sit a spell and appreciate the beauty of its park-like setting and an amazing property that sprawls over more than 12 acres of level, fully fenced and irrigated land. This unique and incredible multi-generation family compound includes almost 9,000 square feet of living space. The main farmhouse, turned up a few notches with its blend of sophistication and a touch of elegance, features about 7,576 square feet with six bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms, an upper level bonus room and an enormous main-level bonus room/event center with a kitchen, outside egress, and a pull-down staircase to a loft. An additional 1,400-squarefoot updated home features another three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Located just off the Bryon Highway at 2210 Hoffman Lane, the main home was built in 2007. More than 200 palm trees wrap around the main home and property creating an island resort vibe complete with a saltwater, 80-foot long pool, patios, gardens bursting with colorful Bird of Paradise and dramatic Blue Bird of Paradise, and a football field sized rolling lawn, an ideal venue for large gatherings. Open pastures span out and include a six-stall barn, raised garden beds, and fruit trees and just the beginning of this amazing property filled with opportunity. Dream big and imagine a boutique winery and charming tasting room, share the bounty of the prolific fruit trees and vegetable gardens in a family-run farm stand, create a wedding or special events destination, or design a horse boarding facility with an arena and fenced pastures. This luxurious country living features hickory hardwood floors, stylish light fixtures, decorative crown molding and high ceilings including a dramatic 30-foot ceiling in the great room. A formal living room or study sits behind glass French doors. This room also has French door access to the front porch and is plumbed for a corner fireplace. A formal dining room features a wall of masterfully crafted cabinetry/buffet will open shelving, and glass-faced cabinets with custom lighting. This elegant room is spacious to accommodate large parties. Open the sliding glass door to extend this entertaining space out onto the loggia overlooking the pool and gardens. Three commercial grade heaters keep this a cozy area to gather even on cooler nights. The great room is in inviting and light-filled space to also gather under the soaring ceiling. A fireplace with a porcelain tile surround set in a herringbone pattern anchors the space on one side opposite the well-appointed gourmet kitchen. Built-in cabinetry lines one wall and extends into the kitchen that features granite counters with a subway tile backsplash, an island/breakfast bar with seating for at least six, a stainless farm sink, and stainless appliances that include a built-in Miele coffee station, full size Bosch refrigerator and full size freezer, a GE Monogram commercial grade, dual fuel and dual oven range with six burners, griddle and a pot filler, a Kitchenaid dishwasher, and ice maker.
The main level master suite also has access to the rear loggia, features a gas fireplace, travertine bathroom floors, a dual sink vanity with an oversized shower and multiple showerheads, soaking tub and walk-in closet. There is also an additional guest room and office on the main level. Upstairs are three large bedrooms and a full bathroom around an enormous open bonus room ideal for a home gym or home theater. The property is about five miles from downtown Brentwood and the same distance to Discovery Bay. Enjoy the surrounding ranches and farmland dotted with seasonal farm stands and equestrian centers.
