Saddleback at Blackhawk is located in the unincorporated area of Contra Costa County in the beautiful rolling foothills of Mount Diablo.

The luxurious homes were predominantly built from 1979-1990 as the second phase of the Blackhawk Community plan. The architecture is varied, with most homes having a California contemporary appearance. Each home in the development is custom-built on large lots ranging from just over one acre to seven acres. The fifty-four lots have exceptional privacy, many with spectacular views of Mount Diablo and the surrounding East Bay hills, while remaining a short golf cart ride to the Blackhawk Country Club and its championship golf courses.
​
The lot sizes were designed to accommodate options for horse boarding but many residents have also used the space to plant small vineyards or build everything from an artist's retreat, to a multi-sports facility, to a car collector garage.
​
Saddleback is a quiet yet vibrant community with a blend of retirees and families with children. Many residents are committed to a long-term stay.
