About this home
Hidden in the wooded folds between Oakland and Moraga, this former Stationmaster's home is one of Canyon's most eclectic retreats, a redwood cabin perched above a ravine where light, air, and creativity converge. Reached by a narrow, illuminated footpath that winds through the trees, the home feels both secluded and alive with its surroundings. Once rumored to host musicians of the psychedelic era, it remains infused with that spirit of originality and calm. Inside, rustic board-and-batten rooms open to forest-view decks. The kitchen's vintage Wedgewood stove and peace-sign floor recall Canyon's freewheeling past, while the window-wrapped living room and river-rock fireplace invite reflection and connection. Three bedrooms are linked by ship-style ladders, adding to the home's character and sense of adventure. Water is drawn from a private spring; electricity and propane service the essentials. The meditation loft above the washhouse (with washer & dryer) provides a quiet refuge for writing, painting, or simply listening to the seasonal creek. Just minutes to Moraga, Oakland, and San Francisco, yet a world apart, with an authentic blend of history, artistry, and nature.
