Commanding a rare 400-foot elevation above Stinson Beach, Black Rock Ranch is a private West Marin retreat offering sweeping, unobstructed views of the Pacific Ocean and the protected open space of Mount Tamalpais. Just 25 minutes from Mill Valley, this secluded estate delivers a sense of complete escape—where land, light, and sea converge.
The main residence reflects timeless Spanish and Mediterranean influences, thoughtfully executed with exposed beams, white stucco walls, and handcrafted Spanish tile floors. Designed with passive solar principles, the home offers natural comfort year-round, complemented by fireplaces throughout that create warmth, ambiance, and intimacy.
The home’s heart is a hacienda-style kitchen and great room, where vaulted ceilings and a striking fireplace frame expansive ocean views. Elegant double doors open to a broad terrace overlooking Bolinas Bay—an exceptional setting for sunset gatherings, al fresco dining, and long coastal evenings. A sun-filled enclosed terrace provides flexible space for entertaining on any scale. Upstairs, the primary bedroom offer serene privacy and retreat-like comfort.
The grounds unfold across gently sloping land, anchored by a mature olive orchard—an understated nod to the European countryside. The rear hillside, recently grazed by sheep, reinforces the property’s authentic agricultural heritage. Multiple outbuildings, significant water storage, and a series of thoughtful improvements enhance both functionality and long-term stewardship.

about this
Neighborhood

Bathed by refreshing ocean breezes, this secluded enclave of fewer than 1,000 residents offers the best of casual coastal living. Only a 35-minute drive from the Golden Gate Bridge on California state Route 1, Stinson Beach provides a welcome escape from the frantic pace of everyday life. Beachfront homeowners enjoy expansive ocean views, free of frontal roads or development.
The laid-back town of Stinson Beach has a small but vibrant Main Street with unique eateries, galleries, and a surf shop. After an exuberant day of swimming, surfing, hiking, or hang gliding, locals head for the patio of the Sand Dollar Restaurant for a plate of fish tacos and a cold beer.
Right in Stinson Beach’s backyard, the Golden Gate National Recreation Area and Mount Tamalpais State Park offer hiking through towering redwood forests and hillsides strewn with wildflowers. Trails at nearby Point Reyes National Seashore weave through open pastures, rugged ridges, and coastal cliffs. Only minutes away, Muir Woods National Monument entices visitors to gaze in awe at the thousand-year old giant trees.
Stinson Beach comes alive on the second Sunday of June, when it serves as the ending point for the annual running of the Dipsea Race, the second-oldest foot race in the U.S. In early fall, the California Road Club holds its Mt. Tamalpais Hill Climb, one of the oldest bicycle races in the West.
Beachfront homes in Stinson Beach provide a magnificent view of the Pacific Ocean. Sunny bungalows in town offer lush gardens and a casual, barefoot lifestyle. Wherever you choose to live in Stinson Beach, you’ll be only moments away from quiet sunset walks on the beach or energizing hikes through endless acres of open space.
