One of a kind: Expansive Danville estate with panoramic views and horse property

A meticulous attention to detail in the design and construction created a spectacular hillside estate that sprawls atop a 14.25-acre lot offering panoramic views of Mt. Diablo.

About 7,478 square feet of living space wraps around a lavish indoor pool and spa with a two-story waterfall that rivals any luxury resort while the grounds provide an ideal horse property with room to roam.

Designed by architect Jan Hamby of Danville, the home at 1401 Dutch Mill Drive in Danville took more than a year to build in 1986. A $450,000 recently completed, floor-to-ceiling remodel included a 50-year stone-coated, steel roof; tri-color paver driveway, custom wrought-iron balustrades and railing, stone tile flooring, new kitchen appliances, updated bathrooms, exterior and interior paint, custom lighting, epoxy garage flooring and refreshed landscape.

A multitude of large windows invite an abundance of natural light including two-story windows in the expansive foyer overlooking the pool and a stunning front door with leaded glass inset, side panels and arched transom.

At the center of the home is an enclosed four-season, solar-heated swimming pool and spa with a soaring, two-story ceiling, five 8-foot sliding glass doors along its backside and a waterfall cascading down boulders. Additionally there is a stone two-sided fireplace, built in barbecue, and lots of room to entertain poolside amidst lush, tropical foliage.

There are five bedrooms and five and a half bathrooms in the main part of the house including one poolside. The attached guest/in-law quarters has two bedrooms and one full bathroom in addition to a living room, dining area, full kitchen and private covered deck with views of distant hillsides.

In addition to the formal living and dining rooms that showcase stamped steel ceilings and decorative millwork, there is a separate paneled game room with boxed beam ceiling and adjacent media room that opens to the pool area and shares a two-sided fireplace with the pool area, and an additional private office space that overlooks the pool from upstairs.

Expansive decks span the back of the home and provide perfect vistas of Mt. Diablo and rolling hillsides. A private covered deck is off the guest quarters.
