Description

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...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. Over the family's ownership of 72 years this home has had extensive work done, foundations, sewers, heating and more, but it is now ready for the next visionary to come and write this home’s next chapter. Main home has many amazing details and spaces across its 4+ beds and 2.5 bathrooms over approximately 2,877 sqft. Many areas are still in need of sweat equity and hard work to finish the house to its fullest potential, allowing one to put their own stamp and finish as they wish. 1+ acre (46,599 sqft) of expansive grounds to garden, host, expand or build an ADU or another structure for the ideal family compound. Existing (432sqft workshop) and trails are perfect for hobbies, crafts, art, chickens or anything you can imagine. Bordering an empty City of Oakland lot provides additional privacy. Minutes from Montclair Village, shopping, Sunday Farmer’s Market, freeways, top-rated schools and all that makes Oakland and the SF Bay Area great! Come make this gem shine and continue the legacy of an amazing property. Please do not visit the house without an agent!
