Live amongst glorious nature in total seclusion in this ultra-modern, newly remodeled 4-bedroom 3.5 bath showcase residence and compound, inspired by Zen minimalism and Scandinavian sensibilities, with sensational Tomales Bay, Black Mountain and wildlife views. Nestled on four acres of mostly level land, this museum-worthy home—is the result of four years of meticulous high-end design by a visionary danish artist, clothier, and photographer, who took up residence here, while conceiving and designing the finest modern living experience imaginable, in a gorgeous, sheltered setting, with breathtaking indoor and outdoor amenities throughout.
Enter the main house by way of a pergola covered outdoor stairway. Step into a modern, light-filled entrance hall, underneath a soaring wall of double height windows, with wide plank white oak floors–stained a custom chocolate tint–below and a vintage Verner Panton 1973 light fixture overhead.
To the right of the front door find a dramatic and inviting living room.
With open beam ceilings rising twenty-five feet into the air, the room is capped at the highest point with an atrium strip of skylights, casting light into the sophisticated living space.
Overhead a bespoke Olafur Eliasson light fixture accents the room and a Rumford fireplace with modern stone surround provides a visual focal point.
With museum scale walls for hanging fine art, light here comes from four directions, including two sets of exterior glass doors, with sparkling views of Tomales bay through Douglas fir trees at one end.
Step through the living room to the left and find an ultra-minimalist kitchen/eat-in dining room, which raises the concept of kitchen as “communal gathering” space to a new height.
Designed to be a “working ranch” kitchen the room offers gorgeous outlooks onto Tomales Bay and pivots around a large artisan-crafted white oak and steel “March” worktable with hand-blown glass light fixtures dangling above.
Here, the minimalist table replaces the monolithic kitchen island and includes accessories below, such as bins for storing root vegetables and hanging leather satchels for knives and tools.
With local Blue Slide Art Tile as a backsplash, and industrial-style gray cabinetry from Bulthaup, alongside understated appliances such as Viking gas range, and Miele refrigerator, the kitchen design effectively acts to make the kitchen disappear, allowing stunning nature as the color in the room. In a loungy corner a Jøtul wood burning fireplace from Norway with black firebrick surround and a whiskey bar invite warm inclusion and conversation.
Head out two sets of French doors from the kitchen or living room to experience seamless indoor/outdoor living on fantastic IPE wood multi-leveled entertaining deck, offering breath-taking nature views from every angle.
Step past the living room into an enormous office/workspace, offering peaked open ceilings with gallery quality Zamboni industrial lighting overhead, boasting views of Tomales bay on one end, and on the other, a skylight atrium ceiling sits over a nook with built-in shelves. Through French doors here find a peaceful, trickling fountain.
Adjacent the office find a hall with a primary bedroom on the left, designed with an intimate and soothing dark color palette that offers a dramatic contrast to the bright sparkling water views out the picture windows. With an angled ceiling, and cozy wool carpeting below, the bedroom features designer wallpaper, as well as floor-to-ceiling built-in bookcases.
Through an enormous floating H?fele barn door to the right of the bedroom, enter a divine and sumptuous bathroom. Here vaulted ceilings, dark stone floors with radiant heat, and a sustainable eco-plaster shower, overlook the forest canopy through floor-to-ceiling windows.
With gold teardrop pendant lights, a large modern vanity and sink, and curated fixtures–all from Restoration Hardware¬–this stark and beautiful space redefines our concept of bathroom.
Beside the bathroom find a second large corner bedroom/media room with large skylight overhead, gorgeous nature views and light coming from three directions.
A cozy wood-burning fireplace sits in the corner, anchoring a space that includes two striking paneled walls using reclaimed wood from a former redwood fence on the property, and light fixtures from Eleanor Home.
Head upstairs via a modern stairway near the front door to find upper floor living spaces. Here an open landing, provides a library study nook, with floor to ceiling built-in bookcases, and an overlook to the living room below.
This upper wing offers a gorgeous third bedroom featuring peaked ceilings and gorgeous windows framing idyllic views of the water and West Marin hills; adjacent a large bathroom, with deep soaking Japanese plunge bathtub, separate glass enclosed shower and attached cedar-lined sauna with bench and window.
Step outside to the main deck to access a lower deck with a private en-suite fourth bedroom retreat. With water views and a full bathroom behind pocket door, this secluded suite boasts its own deck for star gazing, through a pair of French doors.
Beside the mudroom enter a gym/studio, with peaked ceilings sporting soaring windows and two sets of French doors to the deck, the room is fully loaded with a wired speaker system, storage for gym accoutrements, padded floors, mini-fridge and wet bar.
