Why they chose this property
Our home is in a quiet neighborhood on a secluded drive. Coyotes are often heard at night, and deer walk the street. The house is incredibly calming. We are in a very quiet, safe area where you can see beautiful stars and the moon shining at night. Watch humming birds flitting around the garden. Monarch butterflies come and rest on our lawn in their annual migration. Nearby you will find health food stores, pharmacies, dance studios, and a pottery studio.
What makes this property unique
Literally at the edge of 22,000 acres of wildland with hundreds of miles of trails, right outside you will see morning glories, daisies, roses, cala lillies, and hydrangeas gracing our garden.
Centrally located - drive 15 minutes to San Francisco, 12 minutes to Green Gulch Zen Center, 12 minutes to Muir Wood National Monument. 15 minutes to Muir Beach, and just a few minutes to cute downtown Mill Valley littered with international restaurants, cafes and shops.
Take the ferry in nearby Sausalito to San Francisco or walk through a stone labyrinth on a bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Hike on any of the hundreds of gorgeous trail on Mt. Tam.
Mill Valley was voted as one of the top small towns in America. It is quiet and quaint, with close access to San Francisco, and amazing for outdoor lovers (biking, hiking/trail running, kayaking all within minutes). Mill Valley has a growing music and arts scene with several art galleries, Sweetwater Music Hall, and the Throckmorton Theatre.
