Welcome to 49 Bret Harte Road!

Inspired by dramatic architectural design and elevated by extraordinary scale this opulent Marin residence invites and supports the ultimate indoor-outdoor lifestyle. Strategically situated on the Southern Heights Ridge, this luxurious hillside mansion offers a unique level of privacy and truly breathtaking San Francisco Bay views from within the home and throughout the magnificent outdoor living areas.  

Hidden behind an impressive gated entrance one discovers a stately Tuscan-inspired compound that immediately arouses one’s curiosity to consider what comes next. Lush, mature vegetation, specimen saplings and graceful palms create a Mediterranean atmosphere that enriches this gorgeous estate, creating both a distinctive and tranquil setting. 

Built to exacting standards, every element of this home was designed to maximize the 1.19 acre southeastern orientation and integrate the surrounding natural elements. Step inside through 11 foot steel-framed entry doors and your senses will be dazzled by the heart of this magical home -- a cavernous great room, encompassing both formal living and dining spaces, with soaring ceilings of twenty-five feet which open to enchanting outdoor living spaces framed by a spectacular panoramic Bay views.  Arched doorways and circular glazed windows, inspired by the landscape, illuminate the room with natural light, as sunlight and shadow glide across the patterned cherry and maple flooring in a poetic dance throughout the day.

Five-bedrooms and six-bathrooms complement a gracious 6,000+ square-foot floor plan, ideal for modern living. Over-sized and generously-proportioned rooms are remarkable for both their volume and light with nearly every window offering uplifting views of the Bay, sweeping eastern vistas and the shimmering skyline of the East Bay. Downstairs, two luxurious ensuite bedrooms and an intimate home office provide private and accessible quarters, in addition to the three ensuite bedrooms located upstairs.

A dramatic steel-and-glass catwalk leads to a dedicated wing that houses an exquisite primary suite with bespoke finishes, curated to impress the most discerning designer’s eye.  A sumptuous en suite bathroom is framed in glass and iridescent Persian onyx, including extensive custom tile work, a steam shower and cascading jetted tub.  The primary suite’s large private terrace overlooks the majestic outdoor living spaces, mature gardens and enduring Bay views – the ideal perch from which to behold a burnt orange sunrise or sunset’s lavender hues.

Prepare to channel your inner celebrity chef in the fabulous gourmet kitchen, designed as a welcoming common space, enhanced by enchanting views and providing easy access to the outdoor living areas. Equipped with luxe brand appliances, custom cabinetry and rich finishes, this entertainment-sized kitchen opens to a spacious den/media room, perfect for game day gatherings and family celebrations.

Spectacular views and panoramic vistas frame abundant outdoor living and entertainment spaces, elevating this extraordinary residence to a class of its own. A level hardscape of more than 4,000 square-feet, encircled by a lush oasis, creates a commanding perspective and calming sense of place. Inviting venues for outdoor enjoyment include an ethereal infinity pool, grand firepit, and lavish dining and lounging areas. An orchard and organic garden below provide an assortment of fruits and vegetables to inspire daily menus during the growing season.

Situated at the border of San Rafael and Greenbrae, this preferred southern Marin location provides easy commuter access to the freeway, Golden Gate Ferry and airports. San Francisco, Napa and East Bay destinations are conveniently accessible as well.

In addition to two attached garages that provide enclosed parking for 3 vehicles, there is a large private motor court with abundant additional spaces for friends and family alike.

Distinguished by its dazzling design and distinctive craftsmanship, its extraordinary scale and panoramic views, 49 Bret Harte Road provides the ultimate in both indoor and outdoor daily living. Welcome home to a new day at 49 Bret Harte Road!

The county seat of Marin, San Rafael is large, diverse, eclectic, and historic. That history stretches from California's beginnings, with the 1817 founding of Mission San Rafael on the old El Camino Real, to the construction of the eye-popping Marin Civic Center in the 1960s. Designed by renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright, the Civic Center was completed in 1962 and is so futuristic that it pops up in science-fiction films.

San Rafael still looks to the future thanks to a vibrant downtown redevelopment effort. The focal point of downtown is the Smith Rafael Film Center, which features a state–of-the-art multiplex cinema that screens independent and foreign films.  Cuisine is eclectic: within a few blocks of 4th Street diners can find sushi, Indian, Thai, Italian, Mexican, and Puerto Rican food. Thursday afternoons in the spring and summer find 4th Street hosting a farmers market, which features live music.

The neighborhoods of San Rafael are equally distinctive. From the sought-after midcentury Eichler homes of Terra Linda to the Victorians that surround Dominican College and the custom homes of Lucas Valley, San Rafael provides diversity of price and style.
It's also easy to get away from it all in San Rafael. Nearby China Camp State Park is a jewel by the bay, offering: a kid-friendly, walk-in campground for tents only; a shallow, protected swimming beach; and biking and running trails.
