Why the Owner Chose Private Homes

Tourist sights are here in Marin County, but marketed as San Francisco! Popping over into San Francisco takes just 15minutes. Muir Woods Nat'l Monument, Pt. Reyes Nat'l Seashore, unique towns of Sausalito, Tiburon, Mill Valley and San Rafael offer sights and shopping. We love Wine, and Organic foods - and Marin has easy access to Napa and West Marin's Organics.

The Unique Benefits at this Estate

The Marin Vacation Home handles large groups with ease. The open and airy main areas makes gathering together a fun and easy experience. The 3 main areas, the Kitchen, Living room, and Dining area are all very large and come together in an inviting fashion that creates a spacious environment for gathering, and enjoying, each others company. Large and open main deck is accessible from all these areas, which also showcases gorgeous Open Space Views of Marin.

Lastly, the Marin Vacation Home showcases nature. Large windows, beautiful open views, on 1+acre property creates atmosphere and sense of "one" with your surroundings. In this beautifully undiscovered nook of marin, agriculture activity is still alive, yet your completely in the "scene" of Marin, without much driving. Top downtowns, such as happening "San Rafael" and boutique heaven of "San Anselmo" are just minutes away. Scenic "Tiburon" and "Sausalito", not to forget magestic "Mill Valley" are all not more than 15minutes away- even metro "San Francisco"!

Marin is a place to have a reunion or wedding due not only to it's natural and intresting geography, but because of the many things to do here that can satisfy all types. Explore California coastline, great architecture, historic events, hip and happening shopping and restaurants, or the magnificent nature that is alive and well here, including such places as Muir Woods National Monument, Pt. Reyes Seashore and glorious Mt. Tamalpais- marin's highest Mountain that highlights bay area/city and coastal views from it's mountain top peak!
