Exclusive Country Club Living Beneath Mount Diablo
Tucked beneath the majestic slopes of Mount Diablo and adjacent to Alamo and Danville, Diablo, California, stands as one of the San Francisco East Bay’s most exclusive and historic residential enclaves. Known for its storied country club, elegant estates, and serene tree-canopied streets, Diablo offers timeless sophistication and an unparalleled sense of community.
Originally developed in the early 1900s as a summer retreat for San Francisco’s elite, Diablo has evolved into a year-round haven of privacy and prestige. Its quiet lanes, stately architecture, and mature oaks preserve the grace and heritage of a bygone era, while offering every modern comfort.
Homes in Diablo range from classic Tudor and Colonial estates to modern custom residences, many with gated entrances, landscaped gardens, and fairway views. The neighborhood’s dedication to preservation and understated luxury ensures its enduring desirability.
At the center of Diablo life lies the historic Diablo Country Club, founded in 1914 and completely revitalized with a $41-million renovation. The club features:
A championship 18-hole golf course designed by Jack Neville (co-designer of Pebble Beach) and William Watson.
Tennis and pickleball courts, a state-of-the-art fitness center, a junior Olympic pool, and elegant dining venues.
A vibrant calendar of social events, from wine dinners to family celebrations, fosters genuine community connection.
The club’s restoration earned recognition as “Renovation of the Year” (2021) by Golf Inc., affirming its place among the top private golf clubs in Northern California.
Surrounded by open space, Diablo offers direct access to Mount Diablo State Park, where residents enjoy more than 150 miles of hiking, cycling, and equestrian trails. Despite its secluded ambiance, Diablo is just minutes from Downtown Danville, renowned for its fine dining, boutique shopping, and family-friendly events.
Families living in Diablo are served by the San Ramon Valley Unified School District (SRVUSD), which includes Green Valley Elementary, Los Cerros Middle School, and Monte Vista High School—all recognized for their academic excellence, college readiness, and student success.
For those seeking prestige, privacy, and a sense of community, Diablo offers a lifestyle unlike any other. With its historic roots, world-class amenities, and proximity to nature, Diablo represents the pinnacle of luxury living in the San Francisco East Bay.
