Set behind private gates on a commanding hilltop at the northern end of the Tiburon Peninsula sits 1860 Mountain View Drive — the Treasure of Tiburon. Featured in Dwell and SFGate, the residence is a once-in-a-generation architectural achievement, where every room opens onto a kaleidoscope of light, color, and the most iconic landmarks of the Bay: the Golden Gate Bridge, the San Francisco skyline, Angel Island, Sausalito, Belvedere, the Marin Headlands, and Mount Tamalpais. Brilliant sunrises ignite the eastern sky; crystalline afternoons stretch across the water; the city catches fire at dusk; and arresting sunsets settle behind Mt. Tam — a moving, ever-changing panorama that elevates the spirit and resets the day. When the fog snakes through the Bay, 1860 holds the front-row seat to one of the most spectacular performances on earth.
A cantilevered steel structure makes the residence appear to float above the hillside, while five NanaWall glass systems — each rising eleven feet — fold completely open, melding inside and out. Remarkably, the home unfolds across only two levels, with an intuitive layout designed for the rhythms of both daily life and effortless entertaining.
Inside, book-matched olivewood paneling, French limestone, Pacific red cedar ceilings, Venetian plaster walls, and Statuario marble speak to a standard of craft that carries through every room. A floor-to-ceiling glass fireplace anchors the great room. A full catering kitchen complements the primary chef's kitchen, both equipped with Miele appliances throughout.
The grounds are conceived as a series of outdoor living environments. An infinity-edge pool meets the horizon at the southern terrace, where Ipe wood decks meet flamed granite that extends into the landscape. A pool deck purpose-built for entertaining flows into a generous level lawn for recreation and relaxation, while alfresco dining and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen turn the southern exposure into a year-round entertaining stage.
The neighborhood only adds to the luster. Tiburon itself exudes seaside charm — gorgeous Bay views and a waterfront lined with shops and restaurants, all within easy reach. Tiburon Ridge Open Space is one hundred paces from the front door, offering world-class hiking with world-class vistas of the entire northern Bay, the city, and Mt. Tam. Mill Valley, Sausalito, and Larkspur are all within ready car, foot, or bike reach. Tiburon public schools have been considered peerless for decades, and the Tiburon Ferry is a five-minute drive away — a world-class commute to the Embarcadero, whether for work or urban pleasure.
