About this property

Spacious Serene Sanctuary-Minutes to SF / Muir Woods

Our 4bd/2ba home is the perfect space for big families, work groups. It is in a very quiet neighborhood, and we ask that you are respectful of our neighbors by being super quiet in the daytime, as well as at night. No parties, please! Almost half an acre of sunny lawns, forest, and a seasonal creek at the end of a quiet road will greet you. The smell of plum blossom, jasmine, and bay trees will calm you, and you will have complete privacy as no cars will drive by. This place inspires peaceful solitude and is an excellent retreat for serene gatherings. (Please note that our house includes a small entirely separate In-law unit downstairs under the living room, which is not included in the Vrbo listing.)

As you drive up our driveway to the end of the road, our home is on your right side. You walk up 15 stairs to our long outdoor deck, which allows you to bring the outside in.

There is a little separate building at the end of the driveway. It is just for our storage use.

As you enter the house, you will see a stone fireplace right in front of you, the great room has old natural pine paneled walls, an open floor plan, and mostly hardwood and tile floors. There are 2 comfortable coaches and a sofa close to the fireplace, a working desk and a chair. The dining area and newly renovated kitchen are on the left side of the fireplace.

Walk along the kitchen and you will find 4 bedrooms: one spacious bedroom with a brand new queen-sized bed (2023), one sweet trundle bed in the middle bedroom, a brand new queen-sized sofa bed in a separate room, which has bright light almost all day long, and one king-sized bed in the spacious master bedroom. Our 2 newly renovated full baths (2023) and 4 bedrooms are all on one level for easy accessibility (note there are 15 stairs from the parking area up to our front door). There is a very quiet in-law unit below the living room. Please keep the area in the living room, dining room, and kitchen quiet between 10 PM and 8 AM as a courtesy to the unit below.

There are two parking space at the top of the driveway. No street parking as all the spaces there is private property.

This is a quiet area with no streetlights, so star gazing is excellent. Wildlife abounds and sightings of deer, raccoon, coyotes, and raptors are common.

Stroll in our backyard, discover the path to our sacred temple and access the incredible open space adjoining the Golden Gate National Recreation Area.

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.
