An Entertainers Dream Home, Privately Tucked Within The Country Club
Hidden behind a private gated drive in Novato’s coveted Country Club neighborhood, 37 Carnoustie is a rare estate property designed for privacy, entertaining, and true indoor-outdoor living. Set on an extraordinary 1.55-acre lot, the property offers a sense of space and seclusion that is hard to find in this part of Novato. Mature landscaping, grape vines, expansive patios, a resort-style pool, and generous outdoor gathering areas create a setting that feels both impressive and incredibly livable. Once home to the drummer of Journey, this is a home with a memorable past and a presence that matches it.
Inside, more than 4,500 square feet of living space offers a flexible and comfortable floor plan with room to gather, host, work, and retreat. Vaulted ceilings and multiple living areas create openness throughout the home, while fireplaces in the formal living room and kitchen dining area add warmth and character. The spacious kitchen features a large center island, skylights, double ovens, a generous walk-in pantry, wine cellar, and a dry bar off the living room. The formal dining room opens directly to the patio through sliding glass doors, creating an easy connection between indoor meals and outdoor entertaining.
The floor plan is well suited for a variety of living arrangements, with a main-level primary suite, a dedicated upstairs office, and a private lower-level ensuite with its own access to the backyard. This space works beautifully for guests, extended family, an au pair, or anyone who would benefit from a more independent living area.
The backyard is the heart of the property. Summer afternoons can be spent by the pool and spa, practicing on the putting green, playing pickleball on the sport court, or gathering around the outdoor fireplace at the end of the day. With a full outdoor kitchen, sprawling turf lawn, multiple patio spaces, and room for large-scale entertaining, the grounds were clearly designed to bring people together. This is a rare Country Club estate that offers privacy, scale, and a lifestyle that is hard to replicate.
