A striking example of our Spanish Colonial Revival style, the home at 20 Rabble Road is rooted in the deep Castilian influence that runs throughout California architecture. And like most things at Wilder, this home reveals itself in stages—taking you from one eye-opening discovery to the next. A long entry portico with elegant columns. A courtyard at the very center of the home, open to the sky.

An expansive master bedroom beacons with walk-in closets big enough to get lost in. And on the upper level, a cozy office sanctuary awaits. But of course, work can always wait. A custom wine room and second great room are below—two floors and a world away.

Inspired spaces can be found around every corner, and we spared no expense in detailing the home with exceptional finishes, appliances and luxurious touches. So while the form is timeless, the interior is pure modern comfort.

The home at 18 Rabble Road is a perfect example of our classic East Bay Arts and Crafts style updated for a modern lifestyle. It features the trademark low-profile roof and heavy timber detailing of the Craftsman style combined with wide-open interior spaces that spill out onto expansive decks, balconies and courtyards.

And at nearly six thousand square feet, it’s a home where anything is possible. There is a place for everything: watching the sun set from the outdoor patio, sharing stories beside the fireplace, even that quaint old pastime—reading.

Inspired spaces can be found around every corner, and we spared no expense in detailing the home with exceptional finishes, appliances and luxurious touches. So while the form is timeless, the interior is pure modern comfort.

The first home is a modern Spanish Colonial Revival style featuring five bedrooms, five baths, one half-bath and approximately 4,485 square feet of inspired living space. The second is a contemporary Bay Area Cottage style with four bedrooms, four baths, one half-bath, and approximately 4,175 square feet of designer-appointed living space.

With more than 50 years of experience building award-winning homes, Shapell Homes brings a commitment to expert craftsmanship and design that is pure Wilder.

We look forward to Shapell breaking ground on their first four homes later this year. These homes will be located on Rabble Road, a quiet hillside cul-de-sac with views of Mt. Diablo and the valley below. The first home will be a modern interpretation of the Bay Area Cottage, with approx. 4,175 square feet of living space and 4 bedrooms. The second will be a Spanish Colonial Revival architectural style with approx. 4,487 square feet and 5 bedrooms.

A charming example of our Bay Area Cottage architectural style, 10 Rabble Road is a gracious home that feels completely at ease nestled in the natural terrain of Wilder. A celebration of open spaces inside and out. Walk along the airy loggia and step into the cozy entryway. The main level is almost all great room and kitchen—spilling into a broad balcony perfect for entertaining on those warm summer nights.

When it’s time to retire for the evening, you can retreat to your own personal sanctuary on the upper level with its spacious master bedroom, expansive walk-in closet and private walkout balcony.

Inspired spaces can be found around every corner, and we spared no expense in detailing the home with exceptional finishes, appliances and luxurious touches.  So while the form is timeless, the interior is pure modern comfort.

The home at 8 Rabble Road is a stunning example of our Spanish Colonial Revival style—an influence that runs deep through California architecture and finds a welcome home in the hills of Wilder. There’s a natural affinity here, one for the other, a symbiosis of structure and landscape that is centuries old. The result is an interplay of solid strength and fluid grace.

Dark timber ceiling beams and ornate wrought iron balconies blend seamlessly with large sunlit great rooms and charming outdoor courtyards. Sweeping French doors usher in the day, and the large over-size kitchen island presents the perfect place for the family to gather.

Inspired spaces can be found around every corner, and we spared no expense in detailing the home with exceptional finishes, appliances and luxurious touches.  So while the form is timeless, the interior is pure modern comfort.

The entire district performs at an exceptionally high level – including the four public elementary schools and Orinda Intermediate School, as well. So, when we say Wilder will be a great place for kids, we mean it in every possible way.

First, you can purchase one of our Crafted Collection homes. These are pre-built homes that are move-in ready. They have been expertly crafted and feature designer-selected palettes and finishes, inspired landscaping and all of the details you would expect from a home of this level.

Secondly, you can choose a homesite and select one of our Portfolio Home plans to build, which were designed by Wilder and are pre-approved by the City of Orinda. Because these designs work within the aesthetic of the city and have already been approved, this option will expedite your building process.

Lastly, you can choose a homesite and work with your own architect and builder to create a custom home, giving you complete control of the design, construction and build-out, all perfectly matched to your individual homesite location and views.

If you choose to build a home at Wilder, you also have exclusive access to the guidance and resources of our dedicated builder partners, including a planning and construction team that can help you seamlessly and efficiently create your dream home.

Please note that all homes built in the Wilder neighborhood will need to conform to the design guidelines and specifications approved by the City of Orinda.

The homes throughout Orinda have always had their own flavor. And over the years, the City of Orinda has gone to great lengths to make sure that this unique style isn’t lost. Our Portfolio homes embrace this heritage, while giving you an inspired and time-efficient path to building your dream home.

Robert Hidey Architects began by immersing themselves in Orinda’s varied architectural styles, from the iconic Orinda Country Club to the more traditional single-family homes. They also studied the Wilder landscape. Bringing these elements together, they created home designs that reflect the local aesthetic as it relates to the land. Low-profile architecture is intended to complement each home’s natural surroundings and fit nicely into the rugged topography. Likewise, the designs promote outdoor areas, including side yards, courtyards, covered outdoor spaces and large pavilion-style rooms.

Whether you choose one of Wilder’s pre-designed portfolio plans by renowned architect Robert Hidey or would like to explore a custom design within the architectural guidelines, Brooks Street Builders can help bring your dream to life.

With homesites and custom homes set among the rolling hills of Orinda, Wilder is surrounded by thousands of acres of open space, trails and playfields. All less than thirty minutes from downtown San Francisco. Soon we will be opening our model home and several of our Crafted Collection homes – offering award-winning architecture, beautifully landscaped yards and designer-appointed finishes. Come discover a place like no other.

Designed by award-winning Robert Hidey Architects, the custom homes now available for purchase are nestled into the hill on quiet Rabble Road—a cul-de-sac with spectacular views of Mt. Diablo and the valley below. The first home is a contemporary interpretation of the classic Orinda Ranch style with a single-level floorplan, three bedrooms, three-and-a half baths, and 2,380 square feet of living space. The second is a charming and free-flowing Bay Area Cottage with five bedrooms, five baths, two-half baths, and almost 6,000 square feet. These homes, which will be ready for residents later this fall, include designer-selected features and finishes and elegant landscaping.

With sweeping views of Gateway Valley, the Quarry House recreation center and swim club will be the social heart of Wilder. This gracious hacienda will open later this spring and includes a fully-equipped fitness center, first-class swimming pool and spa, and relaxed gathering places.

It’s all happening this year. Come see.

Last year, the Orinda City Council voted to change the name of the road and, consequently, the exit. A logical decision in our opinion, for the simple reason that Wilder Road takes you right into Wilder.

In fact, you can take this exit now to preview the home sites, peruse Wilder’s exclusive custom home designs and watch this new community take shape right before your eyes.

Start your tour at the Ranch House any day from 10am to 5pm. Just take Highway 24 to the Wilder Road exit – located between the Caldecott Tunnel and the downtown Orinda exit, and follow the signs to the Ranch House at 2 Wilder Road. We recommend that you schedule an appointment with Gerry Bakalian or Robin Rogers by calling 925-254-9900. You may also send an email to gerry@orindawilder.com or robin@orindawilder.com.
