The Juniper House
Newly available Bolinas retreat, now with a private, outdoor, hot tub. Juniper House is multileveled, and architecturally designed for the site with her face to the sun, she is a jewel of proportion and light with a deck off the kitchen for a morning cup of coffee, and summer BBQ's. Lots of soul and character to this post and beam country house built of recycled barn wood with custom stained glass windows and a cozy, propane fireplace. Throughout the house you will find dark, rustic, wide plank, hardwood floors.
Designed by well known architect Valentino Agnoli, Juniper House is illuminated by three 25' skylights. She has 3 levels and each level relates to the others, allowing you to stand at the treetop level and speak to friends seated in the first level livingroom.The selections of wood, craftsmanship and joinery is truly beautiful and amazing.
The kitchen, whose 6' windows above the sink, overlooking the sunset sky, will have people competing to wash dishes, also has a window seat for dreamy morning moments. The bathroom begs for long soaks in the tub, from which you see only pampas grass and stars overhead outside the windowed-wall, an experience not to be missed.
The main living room offers possibilities of an evening with your favorite music, nestled into couches at the fireplace, a nice way to contemplate your day spent at the nearby beaches or hiking the many trails in West Marin. Or you might choose to watch one of over 75 movies from the house collection in the entertainment loft.
The Juniper House retreat has a way of welcoming you. Within, you will discover comfortable chairs, couches and even window seats for napping, daydreaming, or reading.
For your comfort, 4 guests are recommended and 6 guests, the maximum number of guests (excluding your dog companions).
Situated at the end of a graveled lane on the "Big Mesa" of Bolinas, in a quiet valley, surrounded by natural landscaping, Juniper House just seems to belong to the wild fields around it. You can expect to see deer and quail families, humming birds and to awaken to the bird song of many species.
Located near the small laid-back village of Bolinas, which lies at the mouth of the Bolinas lagoon, at the foot of Mt. Tamalpias State Park and the Audubon Canyon Bird and Wildlife Sanctuary. To the north we are bordered by the Point Reyes National Sea Shore, Muir Woods, home of the giant redwoods is just a 1/2 hour drive south on scenic highway one and has spectacular cliffs and views of the Pacific Ocean. The Juniper House is only a short, ten minute walk to Agate beach, a secluded treasure. It's Bolinas' premier sunset beach and a great place for beachcombing, finding agates, tide pooling, long relaxing walks and bird watching.
This quiet retreat is a place to unwind and recharge, away from it all. Because it is owned by a local family, you will be provided with knowledgeable information about our local activities, restaurants, and events. We welcome you into this eccentric community and hope you find rest, renewal, as well as exciting new things to do in our beautiful, Wild West Marin.
