A timeless Corte Madera estate, reimagined with modern craftsmanship and designed for a life that seamlessly blends beauty, comfort, and connection.

Tucked quietly off a private lane, this estate feels like a hidden retreat—where every structure, garden, and pathway has been intentionally designed to create harmony. Originally built in 1906 and fully reimagined by PatriARCH Architecture and Imprints Landscape Architecture in 2019, the property now lives as a sophisticated compound: a masterfully rebuilt main residence, a beautifully retrofitted historic barn, a versatile office/cabana, and a fully finished garage with custom storage.

Here, daily life unfolds across a collection of thoughtfully interconnected spaces. Mornings begin in the chef’s kitchen, where a large Carrera marble waterfall island and countertops stand beneath streams of natural light, accompanied by a Wolf six-burner range, two built-in wine fridges, and custom cabinetry that make meal preparation effortless. Folding glass doors dissolve the boundary between indoors and outdoors, leading to a series of bluestone patios, manicured lawns, and tiered gardens.

Bedrooms are private retreats, each filled with natural light and sweeping views of Marin. The primary suite is a sanctuary: vaulted ceilings, a cozy fireplace, dual walk-in closets with custom organization, and a spa-like marble bathroom featuring a soaking tub and dual showers. Additional bedrooms, including a guest suite with en-suite bath, provide comfort and versatility, while the upstairs rooms offer elevated outlooks across the lush grounds.

The grounds themselves are nothing short of extraordinary, meticulously transformed in 2019 by Brad Eigsti of Imprints Landscape Architecture. Every aspect of the landscape was conceived as a connected master plan, where indoor and outdoor spaces flow seamlessly and structures are visually and spatially integrated. Expansive, fully usable lawns are dotted with specimen olive, plum, and maple trees, complemented by flowering hydrangea, roses, lilacs, star jasmine, geranium, hellebore, anemone, and seasonal calla lilies. Groundcover plantings—including boxwood, liriope, dwarf olives, dwarf sweet pea, sedum, and sage—layer in texture and color, while Japanese blueberry, daphne, pieris, pittosporum, and fern pine add height, structure, and evergreen appeal. A dedicated, tiered vegetable and flower garden enhances both beauty and function, with a centrally controlled irrigation system ensuring the grounds remain lush year-round.

Multi-level bluestone patios with multiple seating areas span the northern side of the home, while the barn opens to a wide set of Ipe stairs leading to a large circular bluestone patio and tiered steps down to the lawn. In the evenings, the gardens glow with carefully placed landscape lighting, where every corner feels intentionally curated.

The estate’s additional structures expand the possibilities for work, leisure, and entertainment. The historic barn, fully renovated, features a full bathroom, an upper-level lounge or guest space, built-in storage, and French doors opening to the bluestone patio with an outdoor kitchen. The cabana office provides a quiet, dedicated workspace or creative studio, and the fully finished garage boasts custom cabinetry and abundant storage. Every space, inside and out, has been designed to connect seamlessly, creating a compound that feels both grand and intimate.

Evenings are spent fireside—in the large family room, in the serenity of the primary suite, or outdoors—where every moment reminds you that this is not just a home, but a complete estate experience, perfectly curated for luxury, lifestyle, and the enduring beauty of Marin.

Beyond, trails wind directly into the vast system of Mt. Tamalpais, offering everything from casual dog walks to full-day hikes with panoramic San Francisco Bay views. Downtown Mill Valley is minutes away, San Francisco is within a short drive, and yet, when you return home, the landscaped grounds and historic architecture create the feeling of a world entirely your own.
