San Francisco Bay Luxury Property

Chateau d’Ellen in Pleasanton is one of those unique properties that you rarely see listed. A large custom built home on several acres of private land and quiet space.

This French chateau was built by the renowned architect Norm LaCroix about 10-15 years ago on the Pleasanton ridge on almost 4 acres with numerous heritage oak trees on the property and an amazing view of the Pleasanton Valley and Mount Diablo.

What I love about this home is that you are just minutes away from I-580 and I-680, Stoneridge Mall and award-winning Pleasanton schools, but being at the house is like being at a sanctuary.

The home is over 8000 square feet, six bedrooms, four full and four half baths. Some other features are a 1000 square foot Las Vegas-style casino, an indoor pool, an outdoor waterfall, a tennis court and a four car garage; there is ample parking space on the property in case you would like to entertain and expect lots of people.

The owners also own the property next door and they will sell this three bedroom and three bath home together with, or after the main home has been sold. This home sits on an almost three acre flat lot with the same incredible views. Both properties are surrounded by open space; there are trails which can be used for hiking or horse back riding.

The property is perfect for the executive that needs to be close to Silicon Valley or San Francisco, or for somebody who is looking for a family compound.

Let us know if you would like to schedule a private showing. On May 4th from 1-4pm we will organize an Invitation Only Open House; call us if you would like to be invited, our office number is (925) 855 6410.

A 151 Year-Old Schoolhouse Still Stands

image courtesy of www.dublinonline.comThe Old Murray Schoolhouse in Dublin is a very important but sometimes forgotten part of the city’s history.

Irish settlers built the original Murray School on Flanagan Lane in 1856. However, the area where the schoolhouse was located was susceptible to flooding so relocating was more of a necessity than a desired upgrade. With the help of oxen and horses, the Old Murray Schoolhouse was moved to Dublin Canyon Road, where it stayed for over a hundred years.

Something worth noting – the original site of the Old Murray Schoolhouse (where flood warnings forced the relocation) is where the Stoneridge Mall in Pleasanton stands today.

image courtesy of www.bigmallrat.comWith the widening of I-580 and rapid community growth during the 1970s, the schoolhouse was required to move to a different location once again. This time around, though, professional house movers took care of the business rather than an army of farm animals.

The Old Murray Schoolhouse has found a permanent home with the Dublin Heritage Center, located at 6600 Donlon Way. Currently serving as a museum, the schoolhouse boasts over twenty interactive exhibits that allow visitors to trace the journey of the town’s first settlers.

The museum is open on Wednesdays through Sundays from 1:00 P.M. - 4:00 P.M. and on Tuesday evenings from 6:00 P.M. - 9:00 P.M.
