Tucked away on 10 unspoiled acres, a uniquely crafted redwood home captures the essence of a West Marin retreat. An imaginative country design built with reclaimed old-growth lumber beckons the senses. An adjacent dance-floor deck illuminated by twinkling overhead lights steps down to an intimate stone patio and fire pit. Set on the top elevation of the property, a magnificent view unfolds between a gentle downslope of native grasses and heritage oaks and a south-eastern sky framing distant ridgelines. Sun, moon and starlight reflections dance across an ever-changing vista, day or night. A mezzanine home office for two overlooks the eye-catching interior and tree-dotted exterior. A guest suite with loft sits a half-level below, while the top-floor primary bedroom includes an open-air veranda. Laundry and storage fill the lowest level. Guest-lodging and studio space are available in privately set yurts, while an adorable cottage awaits finishing touches. A nearby vegetable garden offers fresh ingredients, and scattered fruit trees bear a variety of sweet delectables. The desirable enclave of Dogtown is just north of Bolinas and neighbors magnificent coastal parkland. It's home to about a dozen residences across some 100 acres, shaping an extraordinarily close-knit community
