Property Description

Perched above the fog line on 1.6 private acres, Zen Ridge Estate is a rare retreat designed by acclaimed Japanese architect Steven Kodama. This 4,347-square-foot residence balances serenity, seclusion, and sophistication in the East Bay hills—minutes from Orinda Village and BART, yet a world apart. Five en-suite bedrooms—including a tranquil primary suite with private deck—offer privacy for multi-generational living or frequent visitors. Clean lines, natural light, and a Japanese sensibility of harmony define each space. A meditation studio, koi pond, and wraparound decks connect to sweeping Briones Reservoir views, while two home offices provide inspiring workspace. Expansive indoor-outdoor living, a pool with spa, and landscaped grounds set the stage for gatherings from tea ceremonies to summer celebrations. A three-car garage, ample parking, and flexible guest house potential add practicality. What makes this estate singular is its architectural pedigree—Japanese design at a level seldom found in California—seamlessly integrated with its hillside setting. Over 15-foot ceilings and display areas inside and out make it ideal for art collectors. This is more than a home. It is a private sanctuary—where architecture, nature, and lifestyle align.
