One of the best views of the mountain from anywhere in Mill Valley, what was known as the Meeting House was the first home on the hill above Mill Valley and occupies a commanding viewpoint of the mountain, the valley and the bay. It was so named as a retreat for artists and writers and has been lovingly cared for since that time. A huge level yard, almost unheard of in Mill Valley, is perfect for kids and dogs, or for those who simply want a peaceful place to enjoy the surrounding nature, garden and private redwood grove. The one acre property is completely fenced, with electric gate, and security cameras at gates for privacy and security. Well established garden, big entertaining patio and outdoor kitchen and dining areas. A 100 year old heritage oak gives shade to a large outdoor kitchen and teak dining table and hundreds of redwoods and ferns provide a special place to wonder or meditate on the natural beauty of the area. Morning sunrise views across the bay and an afternoon light show as sunlight cascades across the valley, together with an unimpeded of the eastern horizon where the full moon rises, provide a reminder that we are in a special area and close to nature. This is the perfect retreat from which to explore the bounty of Marin County and the wine lands beyond, or to take time out in a secluded oasis to renew. Located on what was the Pipeline Trail, and a few hundred feet from the Dipsea Trail, there is direct bike or hiking access to the many trails of Mt Tam. This is a special property, with more of a private retreat feel, and has only been in 4 families since first built in 1905, the last of whom did an extensive remodel and added a new wing. While totally private because of it’s location on a knoll and surrounding mature trees it is only a 5 minute drive to town and a 12 minute stroll down the famous Dipsea Stairs.
