Architectural Brilliance in the San Geronimo Valley

Masterful Interior Craftsmanship

The three-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom home utilizes brilliant passive solar design principles with expansive glass walls oriented toward Mount Tamalpais. High-end interior finishes feature sleek Poggenpohl cabinetry, premium Gaggenau appliances, and a primary suite complete with a private reflecting pool and Boffi fixtures.

Visitors and residents alike will appreciate how seamlessly the indoor living spaces blend with the rugged outdoor landscape. For travelers planning an extended trip to view such architectural wonders, checking out local places to stay is a great starting point.

Luxurious Guest Accommodations

In addition to the main house, the property boasts a versatile two-level guest house equipped with a functional kitchenette, a cozy sleeping loft, and a private view patio. This separate structure provides an ideal retreat for visiting friends and family members.

The estate sits up a private gated road while remaining less than a 20-minute drive from Fairfax and Point Reyes. This convenient positioning allows owners to enjoy total seclusion without sacrificing access to vibrant local communities.

Exquisite Grounds and Sustainable Living

Breathtaking Landscape Design

Renowned landscape designer Bernard Trainor meticulously crafted the surrounding grounds, incorporating native plants and a feature-rich meadow that flows naturally with the terrain. Outdoor amenities boast a heated 25-yard lap pool, a relaxing hot tub, productive vegetable gardens, and custom metal sculptures by blacksmith Jefferson Mack.

The property shares its borders directly with Samuel P. Taylor State Park, reinforcing an immersive connection to the local wilderness. Outdoor enthusiasts often compare the serene atmosphere here to what one might experience further north near Point Reyes.

Eco-Friendly Infrastructure

Completely private and virtually silent, the estate is engineered for modern sustainable living with a robust 48-panel solar system. Local real estate experts universally regard this unique property as one of the finest architectural offerings ever presented in the San Geronimo Valley.
