The oldest house in Bolinas is available for the first time in 55 years. Believed to be the oldest residence on the Marin coast, this amazing structure sits on 7.5 acres in the temperate Horseshoe Hill neighborhood. It was built with old growth redwood harvested from the primeval forest in nearby future Dogtown about 175 years ago. Pine Gulch Creek winds through the property as native vegetation lines its perimeter; a central meadow offers a gentle rise capturing a glimpse of the lagoon. Holding a rare use permit for three residences, the property is replete with possibilities. In addition to the original house, there's a rustic Cabin and a two-story one-bedroom Cottage and another two-room Studio. This is an idyllic multi-residence retreat. In exchange for logging rights on Rancho Las Baulines - former land of the indigenous Coast Miwok people - early lumberjacks built the house for rancho-owner Gregoria Briones and his wife Ramona Garcia. With only three major owners in its some 175+/- years, this home and property are ready for the next stewards of an enchanting Bolinas original.
