    Rare Oceanfront property. Perched on the bluffs above beloved Brighton Beach and the renowned Patch surf break, this extraordinary coastal retreat captures some of the most breathtaking views in all of Bolinas. Built in 1919, the charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath bungalow spans approximately 1,712 square feet and sits on an expansive 64,895-square-foot lot, offering unparalleled privacy and a front-row seat to the ever-changing beauty of the Pacific and easy access to the beach. Owned and cared for by the same owner for over 30 years. This home embodies the quintessential Bolinas charm, the ultimate retreat. From nearly every vantage point, sweeping views stretch across Bolinas Beach, Stinson Beach, and the dramatic coastline beyond. The home feels suspended above the ocean, creating a rare connection to the sea that is both inspiring and serene. Bathed in refreshing ocean breezes, this secluded enclave embodies the very best of Northern California coastal living. Located just 35 minutes from the Golden Gate Bridge and moments from Stinson Beach, Bolinas offers a welcome escape from the pace of everyday life while remaining remarkably accessible. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate immediate access to some of California's most spectacular natural landscapes. Nearby, the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, Mount Tamalpais State Park, and Point Reyes National Seashore offer miles of hiking trails winding through towering redwood forests, wildflower-covered hillsides, open pastures, rugged ridges, and dramatic coastal cliffs. Muir Woods National Monument is also just a short drive away. Adding to the property's rich legacy, the home has been owned by Suzanne Ciani, the acclaimed American composer, sound designer, electronic music pioneer, and record label executive. For more than three decades, Ciani has drawn creative inspiration from the ocean that unfolds below the property, composing music influenced by the rhythms, energy, and beauty of the Pacific. This is a rare opportunity to own a significant piece of Bolinas historyan iconic blufftop property where spectacular views, artistic heritage, and an unparalleled coastal lifestyle come together in one extraordinary setting.
