New Wilder Development in Orinda ~ Private Open House

 

Many of you have asked us what the new Wilder development is like, what the style of houses are, have any sold, what are the price ranges?

Wilder is a new neighborhood development nestled in a small valley in Orinda with a resort-type environment. It has it’s own exit off of the freeway between the tunnel and the Orinda exit. It will feature 245 home sites. The homes prices start at $1,500,000 although the majority of homes will be priced at $2,000,000+. We have been up there for a tour and it is actually quite special. The clubhouse, state-of-the-art competitive swimming facility and recreation center with fitness area have been completed. Five community playfields are also completed and are just awaiting the City’s okay to open. Only three homes have been built and two of them are available to be viewed (the 3rd has sold and is the first home to be purchased in the Wilder neighborhood).

 We want to give you the opportunity to come up to Wilder to see what has been done. We have arranged a
private Open House for any of you who are interested in seeing the development in its early phase.

Date ~ February 26th, 2012
