About This Home
As of June 2021Perched above Mill Valley, this secluded oasis is nestled into the serenity of nature on Mt. Tam & boasts sweeping views of the valley and SF skyline. Built in 1994, the home is terraced into the hillside allowing for incredible light and ever-changing vistas. The kitchen, family, and dining rooms face to the east to capture morning sun and open onto a large terrace, rolling meadow and pool with spa. The large living room has exposed wood beam ceiling, steel beam fireplace, and 2 terraces. The primary suite boasts stunning views of the Valley and SF and charming bath set among landscaping. The crown jewel of the home is a bright office floating above the property with jaw dropping outlooks. Four additional guest suites and a separate guest house offer privacy, peace, and views. The legacy estate spans approx 8 acres on 2 parcels with a private entrance and driveway leading to the rolling lawns, shimmering pool, and stunning main residence, all just steps from the best hiking in Marin.
