Marin Country Club Estates
17 Carnoustie Drive | $2,349,000
Welcome to 17 Carnoustie Drive
Magical Country Club Home
Welcome to a light-filled, beautifully updated two-story home in Marin Country Club Estates, set on a private, elevated lot just a short walk (or a one-minute golf cart ride) from the Fairway Drive entrance to Marin Country Club. Designed for flexibility and everyday comfort, the home offers four bedrooms and three baths in approximately 2,345 square feet, including a sizable main-level bedroom, fully finished out in 2026 with a new closet and built-in desk alcove, paired with a newly renovated full bath, ideal for guests, multi-gen living, or a private office.
Inside, enjoy extraordinary natural light, fresh interior paint, added recessed lighting, and views across the valley from the main living spaces, where the family room gathers around a fireplace with a newer insert. The kitchen was fully renovated in 2026 and is ready for everything from weeknight meals to easy, fluid entertaining, with newer appliances, new countertops and backsplash, pendant lights over the breakfast bar, new hardwood floors that continue into the family room and main-level bedroom, and a valley view from the kitchen sink that makes even the dishes feel like a perk. Upstairs, the primary suite captures those same views and pairs a completely remodeled bath with dual vanity and step-in shower with a large walk-in closet, built out from attic space, that has its own natural light and a laundry chute. The hall bath has also been remodeled with a dual vanity and a shower over tub, and new carpet runs throughout.
Step outside and experience the magic. The entire front yard is fenced and framed by privacy trees planted years ago and now fully mature, creating a level of privacy rarely found at the front of a home, with a big, newly laid lawn at its center and a covered front porch from which to take it all in. And the yard keeps going: it wraps all the way around the house to a wide side yard finished in crushed granite with planter beds, mature citrus and fruit trees, and a 10×12 storage shed, then on to a rear patio. Because the lot sits above its rear neighbors, you get open views across the valley and a quiet, tucked-away feel from nearly every angle. The grounds were refreshed in 2026 with new lawns front, side, and back, new plantings, updated sprinklers, and a freshly stained fence. Morning coffee on the porch, dogs on the lawn, tomatoes in the raised beds, fruit off your own trees: this is a yard that gets used every single day.
Many big-ticket items have been handled over recent years, including: roof and exterior paint, all windows, newer furnace and air conditioning, a newer water heater, and a brand-new sewer lateral (2026). Additional highlights include significant storage throughout, a large overhead storage area in the garage for gear, tools, and holiday bins, a refinished garage floor, and freshly re-stained concrete at the entry and driveway. With its rare combination of privacy, views, light, exceptionally usable outdoor space, and years of thoughtful investment, this is a home that lives beautifully inside and out, and it stands poised to be one of the most sought-after listings in MCC this fall.

Marin Country Club Estates & South Novato
What's it like living in Marin Country Club Estates? Click HERE for a complete breakdown of this A+ South Novato neighborhood.
Marin Country Club Estates ("Country Club") is one of Novato's most sought-after neighborhoods, tucked into the scenic Ignacio Valley in Novato's southwest corner — just about 20 miles north of the Golden Gate Bridge. The community surrounds the prestigious Marin Country Club, a full-service private club offering an 18-hole championship golf course, four tennis courts, pickleball, three pools, fitness center, and an active social calendar that keeps members connected year-round. MCC was recently named Troon Privé Club of the Year for 2025, and it's easy to see why - the club is the heart of the neighborhood and a true second home for many residents.
The neighborhood itself is known for spacious lots, mature landscaping, and a quiet, low-traffic feel that makes daily life here feel like a retreat. Homes range from classic ranch-style residences to larger updated estates, many with views of the surrounding hills and golf course. Nature lovers will appreciate the close proximity to Indian Valley Preserve and Ignacio Valley Preserve, offering miles of hiking and mountain biking trails right out the back door.
Despite its tucked-away feel, Country Club is conveniently positioned with easy 2-5 minute access to Highway 101, making it one of Novato's most commute-friendly neighborhoods for those heading to San Francisco or other parts of the Bay Area. The area enjoys Marin County's signature sunshine - pleasant and warm at least 10 months of the year - making it ideal for an outdoor-oriented lifestyle.
