Description

It starts quietly. You turn off the main road and drop into Blithedale Canyon. The air cools. The light shifts. Redwoods rise around you, and the noise of everything else begins to fall away. Set across expansive, estate-like grounds, the property combines privacy, scale, and landscape in a way rarely found this close to downtown Mill Valley. This is 5 Marsh Drive. Long before the homes that define Mill Valley today, this land was part of something entirely different - an estate known as Miyajima, a Japanese-inspired compound created in the late 1800s by George T. Marsh. The grounds were known throughout the region for their beauty, their design, and the gatherings they hosted under lantern light. That history isn't something you read about it's something you feel. Today, the property has been reimagined through a modern architectural lens. Clean lines. Expanses of glass. Fleetwood doors that dissolve the boundary between inside and out. A home designed not to compete with its setting but to open fully to it. The main living spaces unfold with ease -kitchen, dining, living all oriented toward light, air, and the surrounding trees. Materials are warm, restrained, and intentional. Nothing feels overdone. And then you step outside. Decks and terraces cascade through the landscape. A fire pit tucked into the hillside. A bocce court. An outdoor kitchen built for long evenings that stretch well past sunset. The sound of water at the entry. Light filtering through redwoods that have stood here far longer than the home itself. There's a gate at the lower edge of the property that opens directly to Blithedale Canyon - trails just beyond, waiting. It's rare to find a home that feels this connected to nature, to design, and to something deeper. This is one of those places.

    "No sidewalks. Not a lot of flat lots. Not many parks outside of old Mill. Streets are windy and not well lit. "

    "Like most of my neighbors, I have lived in this sunny and magical home and town for many years (32) and am leaving only to live part-time in Italy and with family in Florida. The extraordinary Redwood forest beauty of our town and our ease of being active neighbors for all sorts of causes and activities is wonderful. Our easy access to hours and hours of local, state and national hiking rail systems is hard to believe since we are so close to San Francisco!"

    "I have lived in Mill Valley for 3 years and also work for the City of Mill Valley. This is an amazing city to live, work and play in. The trails and open spaces near and on Mt. Tam make some of the most beautiful views in the world accessible by bike or foot. The community is rich in cultural arts and entertainment. I enjoy the quiet refuge of my home in the hills after a day in the bustling downtown area. The parks are pristine and the community center has an indoor pool, brand new gym, dance studio, large/elegant banquet hall and many meeting/classroom spaces that you can rent for affordable prices. While Mill Valley has a reputation for being “stuck up”, “snotty” and “entitled”, I have not experienced this. I do pay an arm and a leg to live here, but in my opinion it is worth every penny and I have never regretted my decision to move here. The Mill Valley City Council is very responsive to citizen ideas, complaints and suggestions, making residents feel as though they have a voice in building the future of MV. With close proximity to San Francisco and Napa, you are in a great spot to travel and get away when you want. I will rent here until I am ready to buy a home somewhere more affordable."
