Exceptional legacy property spanning nearly one acre in one of Corte Madera's most serene and highly desirable Chapman Park neighborhood. Held by the same family since 1945, this distinctive estate originally served as a summer retreat for a San Francisco family seeking sunshine, privacy, and the natural beauty of Marin County. Surrounded by mature trees and a tranquil woodland setting, the property presents a remarkable opportunity to create a custom residence or private sanctuary in an extraordinary location. The existing cottage and detached garage are modest and dated, with the primary value residing in the exceptional land, peaceful setting, and significant future potential. This rare offering combines privacy, tranquility, and usable space, all within minutes of town, scenic hiking trails, top-rated schools, and the many amenities that make Marin living so highly coveted. Opportunities of this caliber are seldom available.
