40 El Mirador Drive, Nicasio, CA, 94946
About This Home
Set atop a private 5.39-acre hilltop in the heart of Nicasio, 40 El Mirador Drive is an exceptional retreat capturing sweeping views stretching from Mt. Tamalpais to Mt. Diablo, across open meadows and into the surrounding forest. The warm and thoughtfully designed 2,338 sq ft residence embraces its setting with expansive windows framing views from nearly every room. A generous deck extends the living space outdoors, perfect for entertaining or quiet evenings watching the light change across the hills. The upper level is dedicated to a private primary suite with commanding vistas, while the main level offers two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a half bath. An impressive 3,906 sq ft two-story workshop building sets this property apart, having previously housed a car collection, music creation, and woodworking shop, equally suited to serious hobbies, creative pursuits, or professional endeavors. About fifteen minutes from Highway 101 via fully paved, well-maintained roads, this is the rare West Marin property that offers genuine seclusion without sacrifice.
