Breathtaking $12.3M Tuscan-Inspired Villa Showcases California’s Iconic Light-Filled Living
Set behind the gates of the prestigious Blackhawk Country Club, 940 Eagle Ridge Drive in Danville, CA offers a rare chance to own a custom-crafted estate that blends Italian elegance with the best of California real estate living. Built in 2013 by renowned local builder Arete, this 10,521-square-foot residence is being offered for the first time by its original owners—visionaries who designed the home as both a private sanctuary and a statement of timeless craftsmanship.
Masterful Design with an Artisan’s Touch
Every inch of 940 Eagle Ridge Drive reflects an uncompromising attention to detail. From hand-finished Venetian plaster walls to custom-quarried travertine floors that flow seamlessly from interior to exterior, the home’s finishes are as luxurious as they are lasting. Expansive coffered ceilings, bespoke ironwork, and radiant heated flooring combine old-world artistry with modern comforts.
Listing agent Joujou Chawla of Compass shared with Luxury Houses Magazine: “This isn’t just a property—it’s a labor of love. The owners spent years curating each element, and it shows in everything from the intricate millwork to the imported materials. It’s the kind of home that transcends trends.”
Designed for both intimate family life and grand entertaining, the main residence features five en suite bedrooms, a private guest suite, and over seven bathrooms. A state-of-the-art home theater, 1,200-bottle temperature-controlled wine room, and elevator further enhance the livability and luxury of the estate.

Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Living
A hallmark of California real estate, seamless transitions between indoors and out define the home’s layout. Sliding Marvin glass doors open to manicured terraces and an infinity-edged pool and spa, offering panoramic views of Mt. Diablo, the surrounding vineyard, and the protected parkland beyond. The estate even includes its own mini-vineyard with 350 Cabernet Sauvignon grapevines and fruit-bearing olive trees—a nod to its Tuscan inspiration.
“The outdoor living experience here is truly exceptional,” said Chawla. “Whether you’re relaxing by the pool, hosting a dinner on the terrace, or simply enjoying the views from your home office, the connection to nature is constant.”
An additional 1,138-square-foot detached guesthouse with one bedroom and one bathroom provides a luxurious space for extended family or visiting friends.
