An architecturally stunning gated estate designed and built for the late Ken Behring and his wife Pat perches at the top of Eagle Ridge on 4.5 acres overlooking his beloved Blackhawk Country Club, Mt. Diablo, and surrounding hillsides.
 
On the market, for the first time, since it was built for this East Bay philanthropist, Blackhawk real estate developer, and former owner of the Seattle Seahawks, this estate is a masterpiece of design, craftsmanship, and luxury and the dream of an extraordinary visionary who took 5,000 acres of rolling hills at the base of Mt. Diablo and created Blackhawk, one of the most sought-after communities and treasure for those seeking an exclusive East Bay residence.
 
Thoughtfully planned, carefully built, and meticulously curated, this estate is a work of art inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater masterpiece in Pennsylvania and featured in the 1989 issue of Designer’s West Magazine. It is a collaboration of internationally acclaimed talent, including the renowned Doug Dahlin of the Dahlin Group in partnership with Behring, celebrity interior designer Steve Chase, legendary landscape architect Kimio Kimura, celebrated lighting designer Craig Roberts, and prominent contractor Michael DeBene.
 
Undoubtedly one of the more extravagant homes and a height of luxury and timeless aesthetic rarely reached within the gates of the country club, this magnificent residence is also the result of technical efforts that propelled a unique vision to reality.
 
The design skillfully integrates indoor and outdoor spaces with gardens and waterfalls, utilizing the best materials from soaring Brazilian teakwood ceilings and stunning Idaho quartz to a quarry worth of Utah flagstone.
 
The gated driveway circles around the water feature and sculpture, “Campobello Di Mazara,” created by California Artist Salvatore Pecoraro and commissioned by the Behrings in 1986. The sculpture soars 18 feet high over a blue reflecting pool and weighs 17 tons. Created in Italy and California, the piece is comprised of cast bronze, travertine, and Italian marble.
 
More than 26,600 square feet of luxurious living and opulent entertaining spaces on two levels are connected by staircases and an elevator and showcase custom furniture and several original art pieces, including sculptures.
 
Enter this ultra-private sanctuary, stroll the pathways that bridge expansive multi-level koi ponds, and pass a waterfall, plaster pool, and spa that looks like a natural lagoon on a secluded tropical island. Take in the outdoor dining pavilion with a custom neon-light glass ceiling, a full kitchen, and a bar adjacent to a lighted tennis court dramatically cantilevered over the hillside.
 
A step through the glass front door reveals a discerning use of wood, glass, stone, and abundant natural light to create a richly layered interior that awes the senses. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame panoramic unobstructed views, exquisite stonework flows inside and out, ceilings soar to great heights, and the soothing melody of water cascades into a lower-level pool.
