About this home
Lot
Price is reduced - excellent opportunity! Build your dream home at 8421 Wildcat Dr, a rare nearly 20,000 sq ft hillside parcel—almost half an acre—with sweeping, unobstructed canyon and ridge views. This expansive lot offers the potential to design a stunning 4,000+ sq ft luxury residence, complete with dramatic indoor-outdoor living, floor-to-ceiling windows, and rear-facing decks capturing sunrise and sunset over Wildcat Canyon. With ample space for a main home plus ADU potential, the possibilities are truly endless. Nestled in a quiet neighborhood surrounded by custom homes, the property provides privacy, a generous building envelope, and strong development potential with utilities available nearby. Moments from El Cerrito Plaza BART, top-rated schools, shopping, parks, hiking trails, and freeway access, this is a rare opportunity to create a signature estate in one of the East Bay’s most desirable hillside communities.
