The Ridge House—On Top of the World 

Never before on the market!  On a ridge overlooking the Pacific Ocean, this contemporary home exemplifies the rustic sophistication of life high above the town of Mill Valley echoing nature’s seemingly endless expanse with its own spare architectural lines and style.  Sited on a 1.4 acre parcel stunning views sweep down the hillside to the sparkling ocean and the distant horizon below.

This sun-drenched 3 + bedroom 2 bath residence with nearly 2200 sq.ft. of living space displays a rustic, comfortable ambience with its cathedral ceilings providing an airy spacious feeling throughout.  In the living room a large fireplace chases the chill of the evenings away with soaring 2 story ceilings and abundant windows and doors that open out onto a deck overlooking the rugged landscape surrounding this home.  The open kitchen/dining room areas give way to an expansive deck/terrace, perfect for al-fresco meals, equipped with seating benches, terraced gardens and crushed granite steps.  Spectacular views of the SF bay await in the privately situated master suite, which includes a den/office overlooking the stunning vistas.  

Far removed from the bustle of life the town of Mill Valley is just a few minutes drive down the road and metropolitan San Francisco awaits less than 15 miles away.  Shared by an array of wildlife including owls, quail, wild turkeys and deer the sweeping, rolling acreage is ideal for exploration with Muir Woods and hiking and biking trails beckoning just outside.  

As the mists of fog swirl down from the mountainside of nearby famed Mt. Tamalpais, one can imagine following a trail straight to the mountaintop or to the Pacific ocean below. Year round the scene evokes a sense of wonderment and appreciation that one could possess such a home with views of nature’s splendor all around where only birdsong breaks the silence of such magnificent beauty and solitude.
