More Insights

Built in 1980 (46 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1980, has undergone significant recent updates, particularly the main kitchen with its modern white cabinets, new countertops, and stainless steel appliances, and new LVP flooring throughout. The main living areas are fresh and move-in ready. However, some elements like the main bathrooms (older vanities/tubs) and the secondary unit's more basic kitchen and bath, along with the worn exterior deck, prevent it from being 'Excellent'. While 'beautifully updated', the underlying systems of a 44-year-old home may still be original, as noted in the listing's weaknesses. Overall, it presents as a well-maintained and largely updated home, fitting the 'Good' category.

About this home

An exceptional West Marin retreat, this beautifully updated estate sits on 3.3 perfectly flat, sun-drenched acres and offers 3,000 sq. ft. of refined living space with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. The main residence features an open, airy floor plan designed for seamless indoor, outdoor living, elevated finishes, and the timeless natural light that defines Point Reyes Station. A standout element of the property is the expansive, separate single-level unit, a true extension of the estate. This private space includes a large bedroom area, generous living room, full kitchen with range and refrigerator, and a beautifully finished full bathroom. Its size, layout, and single-level design make it ideal for guests, multi-generational living, a luxury office suite, creative studio, or income-producing potential. Very few properties in West Marin offer a secondary dwelling of this scale and quality. With 3.3 acres of flat, usable land, the opportunities are endless, gardens, animals, recreation, expansion, or simply enjoying the peace and privacy of the wide-open landscape. A rare and remarkable estate blending space, beauty, and effortless sophistication in one of Marin County's most sought-after settings.
