Sunny Woodacre Home With Valley Views, Plenty of Land, and Room to Grow
Set on a private lot surrounded by the quiet natural beauty of the San Geronimo Valley, 17 Madrone sits within its stunning, lush landscape, offering valley views, mature surroundings, and outdoor spaces designed to take in the peaceful setting. A spacious driveway with a two-sided entrance leads to the home and attached two-car garage, creating a welcoming appeal with generous parking, an uncommon convenience in Woodacre, and plenty of space for guests. Inside, natural light filters through skylights at the entry, setting the tone for a home that feels open, calming, and connected to its surroundings.
The main level is designed for both gathering and everyday living, with an open layout that offers flexibility between more formal and casual spaces. A relaxed living room with a fireplace creates an easy place to unwind or host, while an additional, more casual family room provides a comfortable setting for day-to-day living. The spacious dining room opens through multiple glass doors directly to the deck, creating a natural extension of the living space and an effortless indoor-outdoor flow.
The kitchen sits at the center, thoughtfully designed for both cooking and entertaining. A butcher block island anchors the space, surrounded by abundant counter space, new tile, dual sinks, a wine fridge, Sub-Zero refrigerator, Wolf six-burner gas range with grill cooktop, dishwasher, and a generous walk-in pantry that connects directly to the laundry room with a new washer and dryer, cabinetry, and utility sink. Leading out of this side of the home is a new stone seating area with a water feature and custom stone wall that is perfect for gardening or gathering outdoors.
The main level deck spans the entire back of the home, offering multiple areas for dining, lounging, and gathering, all framed by mature surroundings and blooming wisteria that adds a whimsical and seasonal beauty to the space. With direct access from both the living and dining rooms, the connection between indoors and out feels seamless.
Throughout, the home carries a sense of understated luxury. It’s spacious and thoughtfully designed, with a quiet, grounded feel that aligns naturally with its Woodacre setting. It offers the scale and presence of a more estate-like property, without losing the warmth and simplicity that make it feel truly livable.
Upstairs, the bedrooms offer privacy and a sense of retreat. Exposed wood beams, large windows, and a mix of hardwood and tile flooring bring warmth and natural light throughout. The primary suite is especially inviting, with walls of windows and sliding glass doors that open to the wraparound deck. A spa-like bath with calacatta marble and waterfall shower connects to an adjoining den, offering a flexible space for a fitness room, reading room, or creative studio. Nearly every room on this level opens to the expansive deck, creating an easy, continuous connection to the surrounding landscape and valley views.
Out back, the property continues to unfold with garden areas, hot tub, open lawn space, a fenced area for a chicken coop, and room to explore. The fully enclosed grounds offer both privacy and flexibility ideal for dogs, gardening, or simply enjoying all the property has to offer. Whether it’s morning coffee overlooking the valley, long outdoor dinners, tending to garden beds, or unwinding in the hot tub as the sun sets, the setting invites a slower, more grounded pace of living that makes Woodacre an incredible place to call home.

Photo Gallery
Living in Woodacre means being part of a small, close-knit community defined by its natural surroundings and down-to-earth character
It’s a place that feels quietly known as an “if you know, you know” best kept secret part of Marin. Daily life is shaped by the sounds of nature, from birds in the trees to the occasional chickens or horses nearby, reflecting the area’s strong equestrian presence and connection to the land.
Outdoor access is immediate and abundant, with nearby trails offering some of the best hiking and mountain biking in West Marin, including the well-known paths through Roy’s Redwoods. Weekends often extend west toward the coast, with Stinson Beach and Bolinas just a scenic drive away. Despite the sense of retreat, the location remains extremely accessible, approximately 11 minutes to Fairfax and 17 minutes to downtown San Anselmo, making it easy to access shops, restaurants, and more lively neighborhoods of Marin. For those seeking quiet, space, and a true sense of place, Woodacre offers a lifestyle that feels both removed and remarkably livable.
Make yourself at home.
