Gorgeous Sprawling Estate Surrounded by Olive Trees. Tuscany vibe in the SF Bay Area

The Setting You'll think you've escaped to Italy at Olive Hill Estate, surrounded 360 degrees by olive trees as far as the eye can see. From the meandering driveway, enter the arched iron gates and enjoy complete privacy, apart from the coo-coo of birds and the splash of the waterfall into the pool. We are only 30 minutes from the Tri-Valley cities of Pleasanton and Livermore, yet feel world's away from the Bay Area hustle and crowds. The Home We lovingly restored this 2-acre estate with an all-new kitchen featuring a farmhouse sink that looks onto the pool and orchard, modern new cabinets topped with creamy granite countertops, and high-end GE Cafe appliances. Of the 4.5 bathrooms, one features a stylish animal-print wallpaper and gorgeous vanity with gold accents. Another has an old-fashioned clawfoot tub. The 6,200-square-foot light-filled home is furnished with stylish pieces from West Elm, Living Spaces and Z Gallery. Off the master bedroom is an octagon-shaped room with adjoining deck, an ideal space for a bride and her friends to get ready for the big day. French doors lead to a path to the backyard -- making for an unforgettable entrance at an event. Another suite is perfect for a large group to stay together -- parents with kids or a group of teens-- with bedding for six. Outdoors In addition to the swimming pool and waterfall, the backyard has a huge, lush lawn, mature trees, a trellis that leads to a rose garden and many carefully selected flowering plants to invite humming birds and butterflies. A path from the trellis goes to a 120-foot by 60-foot event space surrounded by rows and rows of olive trees everywhere you look. Set up a dance floor, tables and chairs, lounge areas and string lights for a magical party, team activities for a corporate retreat or games for a family reunion.
