Peace and serenity show no bounds at this mid-century, eco-conscious retreat nestled along the California Coast.
Situated on a stunning 20-acre parcel hovering above the picturesque coastal town of Inverness, this West Marin retreat is a refuge for those that seek the quiet and serene. One of the largest private parcels in Inverness, the property directly borders the Pt. Reyes National Seashore and Limantour Road where residents can walk, bike or hike the gorgeous Bayview or Sky Trail to the coast within 3 miles. On top of its natural splendor, the property is graced not by one but two wonders of architecture, both of which are iconic in their pedigree.
The 567 sq ft, single bedroom summer cottage known as the Val Goeschen House was designed by Lois Davidson Gottlieb, the first female apprentice to famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright in 1948-1949 as part of the Taliesin Fellowship. One of her first projects and a shining example of mid-century architectural dedicated to ecological principles of minimal impact on the native environment. The wedge-shaped, glass walled home has a sloped roof that connects to the earth allowing it to blend in as if part of the hillside.
The second home was designed by famed local architecture firm, Turnbull Griffin Haesloop. Perched at the edge of the hill, the 840 sq ft, one bedroom, one bath home enjoys sweeping eastern views and welcomes incredible sunrises that will dazzle your eyes and feed your soul. A second story office makes this the ultimate work from home retreat. Built 12 years ago to the highest specifications and materials, this home inspires with its simple but sublime design. Complete with an outdoor clawfoot tub to connect with nature while fog rain drips from the pines above.
Complete with it’s own storybook tree-house, the home inspires at every turn with wonder and awe.
Wake up to the sweet sounds of chirping birds permeating through the trees. A resident female bobcat has made her resting spot in front of the lavender at the upper mid-century. A family of foxes and their kits play below the Turnbull. Pathways meander throughout the forest leading you between the homes. Kids and adults alike can play in an incredible three-story tree house designed and built by Pete Nelson and memorialized in Treehouses of the World, Vol. 1. The treehouse even has a pulley system to bring up your supplies. Peter Pan easily comes to mind as you survey your forest empire.
