About This Home
Some places have a way of slowing time and Cherry Hill Farm is one of them. Tucked at the end of a shared private lane and cradled by rolling hills, this cherished 7+ acre country estate is the kind of property that draws a long, quiet breath out of you the moment you arrive. The land unfolds in generous, flat expanses before rising to a ridge where the world opens wide sweeping views of Marin and the peak of Mount Tamalpais stretching across the horizon. It is, simply put, breathtaking. At the heart of it all sits an enchanting 3-bedroom, 2-bath vintage farmhouse full of character, warmth, and the kind of soul that only time can build. This is a home meant for slow mornings with coffee on the porch, afternoon light through old windows, and evenings that feel like they belong to another, gentler era. Town is just minutes away, but once you're here, you won't feel the pull. Beyond the farmhouse, a small barn, storage area, and an approximately 1,200 sq ft entertainment shed playfully staged as the Longhorn Saloon add a layer of whimsy and endless possibility. Host gatherings, pursue creative projects, run a workshop, or simply make it your own. The potential here is as wide open as the sky above the ridge. This is that rare, magical find: a true retreat that doesn't ask you to give anything up. Privacy and convenience. Countryside and community. Vintage charm and room to dream. And the dreams here can run deep. Agricultural zoning opens the door to a wide range of possibilities, and preliminary subdivision work completed in 2001 including percolation testing, topographical mapping, and a pre-planning application submitted to the County laid early groundwork for a potential 3-lot subdivision with 2-acre minimum parcels. Buyers should confirm current zoning and permitting options directly with the County. Some places are just meant to be lived in, loved, and never forgotten Cherry Hill Farm is one of them.
