A rare opportunity to complete a sophisticated contemporary residence on an expansive 3.34-acre parcel in a serene Novato hillside setting. Surrounded by mature trees and natural beauty, this striking architectural home offers approximately 3,405 sq. ft. with substantial construction already underway. Bold modern lines, dramatic rooflines, expansive Anderson windows, and a thoughtfully designed multi-level floor plan create the foundation for an exceptional custom residence. An active building permit is in place through July 1, 2027. The majority of plumbing, electrical, and HVAC work has been roughed in. Interior walls remain open, allowing the next owner to complete fire sprinklers, insulation, drywall, and select remaining windows according to their vision. A separate detached garage of approximately 552 sq. ft. is also substantially constructed and has its own active permit through July 1, 2027. The expansive grounds offer privacy, natural beauty, and the opportunity to complete the property's overall vision, including remaining retaining wall work, flatwork, fencing, and landscaping. An exceptional offering for a buyer, builder, or design-minded owner seeking to create a distinctive custom residence on a substantial Marin County estate.
