As you pull into the property, you will feel as though you have entered a luxurious eco-retreat with a sense of serenity and tranquil bushland spread over nine acres. Head inside to the main living area which has an incredibly grand feel with dramatically high ceilings and an abundant supply of natural light. When you are ready to head outside, what better way to relax and unwind than by sitting back on the deck and gazing at nature’s beauty. Afterwards, you can take a 10-minute stroll along the cliff to Spring Beach and watch the sunset by the ocean. With five spacious bedrooms, a home office, kids’ retreat, separate guest wing, and three bathrooms, there is plenty of space for everyone."

"This unique building concept by late owner, artist, and composer Charles MacDermed—but alas, never fully realized—soars in the Berkeley Hills. The owner described it as ‘a nest cupped aloft to the open air and light protected by perfect geometry.’ It’s substantial in its current steel structure, and you could add your own equally interesting and visionary designs by repurposing what is a very dynamic living area. The top floor has voluminous space and light, lending itself to a modern, open living plan while the middle and bottom levels and extensive outdoor deck allow you to create your private life among interior and exterior art and beauty. The sale includes two parcels, giving the buyer the opportunity to secure ample privacy or to build. This listing marks the first time the property has ever surfaced the market."
