Oh, so charming cottage set on beautiful lush acreage with amazing forest views.

Drive 40 minutes across San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge and you'll find a secluded retreat that invites you into the warmth of country style living in the redwood forest.

The home includes two large bedrooms, open-plan living & dining with cozy wood-burning stove, high-speed internet for those wanting to work from home, a basement workshop for the hobbyists, cute cubby house for the kids, hot tub, huge sunny deck on a 1 acre parcel with level cottage gardens and dramatic forest views. Enjoy picnics, outdoor entertaining, home grown produce, there's room for kids and pets to play on level lawns, all with miles of trails at the front door.

It has the potential to live in as is, or extend to 3,259 sq ft. Formerly approved plans to extend the current square footage to a total of 3,259 sq ft are included in the sale.

This magical place is a haven from the pressures of everyday life, but close enough to the city to commute. The restaurants and shopping of Fairfax, CA are a short 10 minute drive. We're minutes from the famous Spirit Rock Meditation Center, equally famous Roy's Redwood Preserve is less than five minutes away, the Woodacre Post Office, Woodacre Market Deli and the annual Woodacre 4th July Parade are within minutes of home. Biking, hiking and horse riding go hand-in-glove with our community too. Easy access to West Marin, Point Reyes National Seashore with its renowned surfing beaches and Samuel P Taylor Park are all added bonuses less than 20 minutes drive.

This property and its grounds have been meticulously maintained over the years, there's nothing to do, but enjoy it. Live in as-is, either permanently or as a weekend retreat, or extend and make this your forever home for a larger family. All possibilities are here for you. The home can be offered fully furnished, move-in ready.
