Up the private drive you will find a south-facing exposure in one of the world’s most favored horticultural climates overlooking the trees, expansive gardens...Perched on a sun-drenched hillside spanning over three separate lots with ultimate privacy amongst the trees makes this a rare offering in the Oakland Hills of Montclair. This was the historical residence of the acclaimed author Jack Vance, who had many influences over Sci-Fi & Fantasy genres including the magic system in Dungeons & Dragons. Up the private drive you will find a south-facing exposure in one of the world’s most favored horticultural climates overlooking the trees, expansive gardens and the valley below.
