Escape to your own private retreat with this truly unique, recently renovated property offering a “Tahoe in Martinez” feel and a rare blend of modern living, privacy and urban convenience. Set on approximately 1.01 flat acres among mature trees and peaceful surroundings, this light-filled home is designed to bring nature indoors. Expansive windows capture views of the surrounding greenery from nearly every room, creating a bright, cheerful and tranquil atmosphere. The open-concept layout is complemented by extensive tile and engineered wood flooring, while outdoor living takes center stage with a large covered patio and private inground swimming pool—perfect for relaxing, entertaining or dining al fresco. The expansive grounds offer exceptional versatility and future possibilities, subject to applicable regulations and approvals. A detached 4-car garage, spacious flat driveway with ample parking and room for RVs or boats, two large storage sheds and secondary access via a side easement provide outstanding flexibility for vehicles, hobbies and storage. An irrigation well provides a dedicated water source for landscaping and helps maintain the property’s lush green setting. Located in the scenic Alhambra Valley area of unincorporated Martinez, the property offers a peaceful, country-like lifestyle rich in local history. Naturalist John Muir made this valley his home in the 1880s, and the area’s historic pear and plum orchards helped shape its distinctive character. Today, mature trees, occasional visits from deer and frequent hummingbirds contribute to the property’s private retreat-like atmosphere. Despite its secluded feel, the home is conveniently located near Lafayette, downtown Martinez, shopping, dining and everyday amenities. Easy access to Highway 4, Interstate 680 and nearby BART provides connections to Walnut Creek, Oakland, San Francisco and the greater Bay Area. First time ever offered for sale, this distinctive property presents a rare opportunity to enjoy privacy, space, natural beauty, extensive parking and storage, and exciting future potential—all in one of the East Bay’s most unique settings.
