Description
Prominently positioned atop one of the most exclusive locations in Shady Canyon, this extraordinary estate built by Robert McCarthy of RDM General Contractors is undoubtedly the finest of its kind. The dramatic residence was masterfully designed to allow for the harmonious blend of resort-style sophistication and coveted seclusion from the moment you step onto the lush grounds. Situated on a private 35,000+ sq. ft. parcel with full western exposure, the opulent 6 bedroom, 7.5 bathroom residence is graced with contemporary finishes not limited to towering reclaimed beamed ceilings, limestone flooring and custom lighting fixtures that accentuate the refined elegance of each carefully considered living space. Interior rooms include a chef's kitchen with walk-in butlers pantry, secondary prep kitchen, and stainless steel appliances, a master suite featuring a seating area, limestone fireplace, expansive balcony, and deluxe master bathroom, two offices, a wine cellar, theater room, formal dining room and intimate library. Stroll outside and you'll be greeted by a wrap-around covered patio and luscious terrace leading to an outdoor kitchen. A sparkling pool and spa offer panoramic views of the canyon to heighten the experience of resort-style relaxation.

10/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI was a student at this school little over four years ago and my experience was exceptional. My first year here was fourth grade and I have to say that it was probably my most difficult year by far. The teacher was harsh and not understanding at all. She even had a reputation of being the meanest and even had a rumor that she threw a chair at a student before. Fifth grade was great in my opinion. I enjoyed that year a lot, but nothing compares to my experience in sixth grade. Sixth grade was by far my best year. The teachers were astonishing and we had a trip to CIMI. CIMI is one of my favorite experiences in my entire life. I still talk to the people who shared a room with me today. I learned a lot during this trip. Overall, I would reccomend.Other Review1mo ago - Rancho San Joaquin Middle School

10/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageSchools should not be engaging students—especially middle school children—in political turmoil. Even though I personally may disagree with the current political climate, I do not believe it is appropriate for schools to encourage or allow children to protest issues they do not fully understand.Education should focus on teaching critical thinking, knowledge, and character—not promoting political bias or pushing the personal views of teachers or administrators. The world already has more than enough conflict; schools should be a place of learning and unity, not a starting point for more division.While the First Amendment protects freedom of speech, children are still developing emotionally and intellectually. Encouraging political protests at such a young age does not mean they truly understand the issues—it often means they are simply repeating what adults around them believe.Schools should educate, not indoctrinate.Parent Review4mo ago - University High School

Our younger one went to and excelled at Cal/BerkeleyWe never had to worry about our kids and did not spend any $$$ on tutors.Thanks for the Great Education and most appreciative of the Faculty who made it easy for us to be successful parents.Parent Review2y ago
