Orinda Real Estate | Kelly Crawford Team
Wilder is one of the most distinctive residential communities in Orinda, combining newer luxury homes with an extraordinary natural setting. Developed within a 1,500-acre master-planned tract, only a small portion of the land is dedicated to housing, while the surrounding hillsides remain protected open space and regional parkland.
Homes in Wilder typically range from about $3 million to over $5 million, offering contemporary floor plans, energy-efficient construction, and high-end finishes not commonly found in many of Orinda’s older neighborhoods. With its blend of modern architecture, community amenities, and direct access to nature, Wilder has become a sought-after destination for buyers exploring luxury opportunities within the Orinda real estate market.

New Construction. Resort-Style Amenities. Hillside Privacy.
Wilder stands apart from other Orinda neighborhoods for its carefully planned design and its collection of homes built primarily between 2015 and 2017. Residences were developed as semi-custom and custom properties, showcasing a mix of Contemporary, New Traditional, Spanish Mission–inspired, and Craftsman-influenced architecture. Generous lot sizes, averaging around 0.4 acres, provide more space between homes than many Bay Area communities.
Residents enjoy access to amenities rarely found in traditional Orinda neighborhoods, including a private clubhouse, fitness center, swimming pool, and the Wilder Art and Garden Center. The neighborhood is also surrounded by more than 1,300 acres of preserved land and connected trail systems, giving homeowners immediate access to hiking, open hillsides, and scenic viewpoints while remaining just minutes from downtown Orinda and regional transit.
Downtown Orinda is just a short drive away, offering local favorites such as Casa Orinda and The Fourth Bore Taproom & Grill along with cafés, shops, and everyday services.
Residents often gather at neighborhood events or head into Orinda Village and nearby Walnut Creek for wine bars, breweries, and relaxed evening destinations.
Wilder provides direct access to regional trail systems connecting to Sibley Volcanic Regional Preserve and Siesta Valley Recreation Area, making hiking, trail running, and cycling part of daily life for many residents.
The neighborhood is served by the highly regarded Orinda Union School District and Acalanes Union High School District, including Wagner Ranch Elementary, Orinda Intermediate School, and Miramonte High School.
Orinda offers a quiet residential environment with convenient access to Highway 24, Oakland, and San Francisco, making it a popular choice for Bay Area commuters seeking space and privacy.
Community events, youth sports at Wilder’s ball fields, and programs at the Art and Garden Center create regular opportunities for residents to connect throughout the year.
