This is the private Pacific Ocean Sanctuary you have been waiting for.  Like stepping into a novel of an era and elegance no longer forged.  Just pinch yourself on your arm, and you will know it’s real.  It is real and it is spectacular. It is private, soulful, and quietly extraordinary.  It is the kind of place that seems pulled from the pages of a romantic novel, with the quality of carpentry and structural integrity that is missing in today’s construction. Uniquely created for the Bechtel family in the 30’s, so you can only imagine how well this was built.  Fortunately for you, you can see it in the open-beam ceilings and foundation.   The home encompasses a double lot (30 Terrace and 8 Hillside Avenue) in an elevated setting of rugged coastline, soft light, weathered beauty, and a rare sense of place that cannot be replicated.  The home features four large bedrooms and 3.5 baths with a lower bonus flex room.    It is ocean views.  It is private and lush gardens.  It is walk to town in a beach-town like no other.   Bolinas is one of California’s most elusive coastal communities, and this home is just steps to the surf break.  It is also perched on the hill, providing panoramic views through every window of the home.  The owners could have bought any Bolinas home over 30 years ago, but only this one checked ALL the boxes: privacy, character, views, and proximity to the beach. It is just steps from the sand, yet it feels completely removed from the noise of the world. The experience is intimate and transporting. You arrive and immediately feel the pace of the world shift.  The air changes. The pace of your heart changes.  You change.   The home has been lovingly updated while preserving the grace and romance that make it so special. It is charming without being precious, elegant without trying too hard, and deeply comfortable in the way only truly authentic homes can be. Every room feels connected to story, craft, and setting. Nothing here feels generic. Nothing feels expected.  This is a place for quiet mornings with coffee and the sound of the ocean. A dinner table filled with family or friends. A writing room with a view. A garden path. A beach walk at the end of the day. A home that allows you to disappear, create, gather, restore, and live beautifully on your own terms.  Bolinas has always belonged to those who know how to find it. This property belongs to those who know when something is truly one of a kind.  A fairytale coastal retreat. Private, poetic, updated, and unforgettable.
