The new gated Ross estate takes modern design and indoor-outdoor living to a new level.

-

This new five-bedroom, four-and-a-half bath gated Ross estate takes modern design and indoor-outdoor living to a new level. With a nod to mid-century modern design, this 5,000 square-foot home seamlessly integrates the indoors with the wooded Marin County hills. Dressed in wood yet modern all the way, this luxe retreat offers contempora­ry architectu­re, energy efficiency, sustainabi­lity, and the latest “smart” technology.

As you approach the front gate, you’ll notice the staggered rooflines and wide-plank horizontal siding made from reclaimed old growth redwoods. Stacked limestone walls and linear water features line the path that leads to the 12foot glass front doors. From the main entry, you’re introduced to an inspiratio­nal space filled with natural light and finishes. Slabs of imported gray limestone cover the entry floors. Hawaiian koa wood ceiling panels and polished white Venetian plaster walls enhance lush views from every angle.

A few steps down, you’ll find the open great room, which combines the kitchen, dining and living areas. Old-growth redwood ceilings and sliding walls of glass lead to outdoor spaces all around. These sixteen-foot glass doors slide easily in and out, filling the room with soft breezes. A wall of limestone frames the great room’s fireplace—a mirror image faces the outdoors.

Not far away, you’ll find the secluded bedroom wing. Its family room offers a built-in koa entertainm­ent center and a 1,500-bottle temperatur­e-controlled wine room. Two bedrooms on this floor share a central bath that doubles as a changing room for the nearby pool.

The upper level features two en-suite bedrooms. The master suite is a generous 804 square feet. Each bedroom connects to spa-quality baths with imported stone slab walls and koa wood vanities. The master bath features a rain shower and a custom koa wood (yes, wood!) bathtub imported from Switzerlan­d. From the master bath, you can access the private wood deck. Open the doors and you’ll feel like you’re bathing outside.

Walk to Eddie’s Woodlands Market to pick up a few things for dinner and to Café Ross for a latté. You also have access to some of the most gorgeous hiking trails in the country. Take advantage of this rare opportunit­y to own a newly constructe­d home in Marin County. Schedule a tour today.
