Paradise Ranch Estates

Set in the coveted coastal enclave of Inverness, this exceptional residence was custom-designed by a preeminent local architect, offering a rare blend of privacy, refined craftsmanship, and breathtaking natural surroundings. Thoughtfully designed for both elegance and comfort, the main residence features two bedrooms, two and a half baths, and a dedicated office—ideal for working from home in a peaceful, inspiring setting. 

A secondary detached structure overlooks the back garden, offering a versatile, light-filled space where the possibilities are endless—perfect for use as guest quarters, an artist’s studio, or a workshop.

From the moment you arrive, the property enchants. A meticulously curated front garden unfolds as a private sanctuary, brimming with mature flowering plants and an array of fruit trees, creating a lush, storybook landscape that feels both intimate and timeless.

Bathed in abundant sunshine, the home enjoys a rare brightness for coastal living. Expansive living spaces are filled with natural light and flow effortlessly onto a sun-drenched back deck—an ideal setting for daytime relaxation, dining, and entertaining. The custom stone fireplace sets the tone for cozy nights. 

Designed with hosting and effortless year-round living in mind, the home offers exceptional indoor-outdoor flow. The living room opens directly to the spacious view deck, creating a seamless connection between interior comfort and open-air living. An enclosed, screened indoor-outdoor living space further enhances the experience—perfect for gathering year-round while enjoying the surrounding beauty. 

The interiors are equally compelling, oriented to capture sweeping, unobstructed views of the Pacific Ocean, where coastal vistas take center stage. Whether hosting guests or enjoying a quiet evening, the ever-changing seascape provides a stunning backdrop. On a clear day, the Farallon Islands are visible from the view deck. The Farallon Island Light, a lighthouse on Southeast Farallon Island, can be seen flashing its warning to wayward sailors every 17 seconds on a clear night. 

The primary suite, ideally situated on the ground level, is a true retreat—offering tranquil ocean views so you can wake each morning to the horizon stretching endlessly before you. An additional bedroom provides comfort and privacy for guests, while the flexible office space enhances the home’s versatility.

Completing the property is an attached two-car garage, seamlessly integrated for convenience without compromising the home’s aesthetic.

A rare offering in one of West Marin’s most desirable locations, this residence embodies elevated coastal living—where bespoke design, natural beauty, and effortless luxury converge.

about this

Neighborhood

Situated along Marin County's western coastline, Inverness combines natural beauty with small-town living. The community borders Point Reyes National Seashore, where Tomales Bay meets the rolling coastal hills, creating a stunning backdrop for daily life.

The architectural character of Inverness reflects its natural setting, with rustic cottages and homes designed to complement the landscape. These residences often feature natural materials and traditional coastal designs that have become characteristic of the area.

Outdoor activities form the heart of community life. The surrounding area provides extensive hiking trails, protected waters for kayaking, prime spots for birdwatching, and miles of untouched beaches and forests within the national seashore. The natural environment makes Inverness particularly attractive to residents interested in outdoor recreation and wildlife observation.

The town center maintains a deliberately simple character, with essential amenities including local cafes, a general store, and several art galleries. This modest commercial presence helps preserve the peaceful atmosphere that defines the community. The slower pace and emphasis on natural surroundings create an environment where residents can fully appreciate the coastal setting and tight-knit community connections.
