There are homes that inspire. And then there are properties so extraordinary they become part of California's history. Welcome to 1405 San Anselmo Avenue, a truly iconic estate nestled in the heart of one of Marin County's most desirable communities. Offering approximately 4,200 square feet of living space across two independent residences, this remarkable property presents a rare opportunity to enjoy luxury, privacy, flexibility, and architectural significance in a setting unlike anything else available for lease. At the heart of the estate stands the main residence, affectionately known as "The Church." Originally constructed more than a century ago and thoughtfully transformed into an extraordinary home, this approximately 3,400-square-foot residence seamlessly blends historic architecture with modern luxury. Inside, soaring vaulted ceilings, dramatic exposed beams, expansive windows, rich hardwood flooring, and beautifully curated living spaces create an atmosphere that is both grand and inviting. Every room reflects timeless craftsmanship while offering the comfort and functionality expected in today's luxury homes. The spacious chef's kitchen is designed for effortless entertaining and everyday living, flowing naturally into spectacular gathering spaces filled with warmth, natural light, and architectural character. Three generous bedrooms and three beautifully appointed bathrooms provide exceptional comfort, while multiple living areas offer the flexibility to relax, entertain, or work from home. Tucked privately behind the main residence is an equally impressive guest cottage, offering approximately 800 square feet with two bedrooms, one full bathroom, a full kitchen, private laundry, and its own independent entrance. Whether accommodating an au pair, extended family, visiting guests, adult children, or creating an executive home office or creative studio, the guest residence offers a level of versatility rarely found in luxury leasing. Together, the two homes create an estate designed for the way modern families live. Beyond its architectural beauty lies an extraordinary story. Known throughout Marin County as "The Church," this property earned legendary status during the 1960s and 1970s as one of Northern California's most celebrated recording studios. Some of music's greatest artists, including members of the Grateful Dead, Van Morrison, Jefferson Starship, Huey Lewis, and many others spent time creating within these walls, adding an incomparable sense of history and character to an already remarkable home. Yet despite its celebrated past, the estate remains wonderfully private, peaceful, and exceptionally livable. Located just moments from downtown San Anselmo, residents enjoy award-winning restaurants, charming cafes, boutique shopping, scenic hiking and cycling trails, highly regarded schools, and convenient access throughout Marin County and San Francisco. The setting perfectly balances small-town charm with world-class convenience. Opportunities to lease a property of this caliber are exceptionally rare.
