luxury contemporary houses for sale Marin County, United States

For intrepid souls that dream of an extraordinary life, for those that have been blessed with exceptional good fortune and grace, and especially for those that best commune with the natural world when they are on or near the sea; La Casa dei Sogni is truly a House of Dreams. Designed by world-renowned architect Andrew Skurman, who undoubtedly took inspiration from the most celebrated Mediterranean Estates of the 18th and 19th centuries, La Casa dei Sogni is a place of whimsy and of timeless aesthetic beauty, a jewel sitting along the coveted southwestern shore of Belvedere Island. It is a place where space and time seem fluid, as you live among centuries-old patterned oak floors, fireplace hearths, and countless other architectural elements that once adorned some of Italy's finest palazzi. Built in 2008 by David Warner and his famed Red Horse Constructors, this House of Dreams combines the finest quality European materials, with the meticulous craftsmanship of a bygone era, creating a home that remains classically contemporary even with the application of modern engineering and construction techniques. Beautifully situated at the edge of the SF Bay, almost every room presents with open and unobstructed water views, spanning from the San Francisco city skyline all the way west, toward the twin spires of the Golden Gate Bridge, and the town and harbors of Sausalito, and beyond. The home enjoys its own private pier, boat dock, boat lift, and beach access, offering boundless recreational options, and epic entertaining opportunities on its enormous waterfront deck. La Casa dei Sogni also includes a stunning 51-foot motor yacht, currently berthed at Belvedere's Corinthian Yacht Club, a 50-foot slip at San Francisco's Pier 39, and an offshore mooring system together making it a breeze for daily commutes to and from San Francisco.

Built in 2020, this Marina Highlands residence offers something genuinely uncommon in this established San Rafael neighborhood: modern construction with current systems, updated building standards, and move-in condition, without the deferred maintenance or renovation surprises that accompany most resales in this market. Positioned on a hillside lot above the surrounding neighborhood, the home captures sweeping views of Mount Tamalpais, the Bay, and the surrounding hillsides from its primary living spaces. Expansive windows bring those views and natural light into every room on the main level, where clean architectural lines and an open-concept layout keep the focus on the setting rather than the structure. The main level is designed for single-level ease, with the primary suite, living, dining, and kitchen all on one floor. The open living and dining space flows naturally into the kitchen, equally comfortable for quiet evenings or gathering with friends. Downstairs, a fully equipped lower level with its own private entrance, full kitchen, and separate living area functions as a self-contained suite. Extended family, returning college students, long-term guests, or suitable as 2 separate rentable units, the space supports a wide range of living arrangements without compromising the cohesion. For buyers exploring income potential, the configuration is worth a conversation. Within walking distance of San Rafael High School, Whole Foods, and Trader Joe's, the location delivers everyday convenience that is genuinely rare at this elevation in Marin. Peacock Gap amenities, waterfront pathways, and easy Highway 101 access connect you to the broader Bay Area without sacrificing hillside privacy. Built in 2020. Move-in ready. Nothing to fix, everything to enjoy.
