Architect Designed Retreat
200 Mountain King Rd, Lagunitas, CA 94938
$5,500,000
Your Friday starts like this. It's 4pm. You close your laptop, grab your bag, and head north over the Golden Gate. About an hour later, you're turning off the main road onto a private gated drive. The noise of the city is already a memory.
This is 200 Mountain King Road.Twenty acres in West Marin, designed by Jeremy Kotas — a protégé of Frank Gehry. The landscape by Bernard Trainor, where native grasses, manzanita, and a century-old bay tree blending seamlessly into the surrounding state park. Mt. Tamalpais on the horizon. Hiking trails starting at your front gate.
You walk inside. Soaring ceilings. Walls of glass. The living room, the dining room, the kitchen — all of it framed by views that shift with the light. Poggenpohl cabinetry. Gaggenau appliances. Sub-Zero refrigerator and wine cooler. A home that takes cooking seriously.
Through the glass, wide concrete steps drop down through the meadow to a heated 25-yard lap pool. It sits there like a mirror, holding the sky and the clouds, while fog creeps in from the coast and pools in the folds of the hills.
Your primary suite opens onto a quiet courtyard with its own reflecting pool. A deep soaking tub. Natural stone. Boffi fixtures. Walnut hardwood floors. Radiant heat underfoot. Automated blinds that close themselves at dusk.
Your guests have their own world — a two-level guest house with soaring ceilings, a kitchenette, a sleeping loft, a patio with views. Private enough that everyone gets the weekend they actually wanted.
Above the house, a deck sits beneath a canopy of mature oaks where western light filters through at the end of the day. There are vegetable gardens. Sculptures by Jefferson Mack. 48 solar panels. A security system you can check from anywhere.
And on Sunday evening, when you finally have to leave, you're back in the city in no time. Or don't leave at all.

Neighborhood
Meadows, Madrones and Magical Light
Tucked deep in the San Geronimo Valley, Lagunitas feels like stepping into a quieter rhythm—where mornings start with fog drifting through the redwoods and end with golden light stretching across open hills. Life here is less about rushing and more about noticing: the sound of Lagunitas Creek after a winter rain, the stillness of towering trees, the way neighbors actually know each other.
This is a place for people who crave space—both physical and mental.
Homes are often set on larger parcels, surrounded by nature, with room for gardens, chickens, or simply the luxury of silence. It’s not uncommon to find artists, musicians, and longtime locals who chose Lagunitas precisely because it sits just outside the buzz of town, yet still within reach.
At the heart of the community is the Lagunitas School District, known for its progressive, tight-knit approach and strong parent involvement. And while the town itself is small, its spirit is anything but—think local gatherings, impromptu music, and a deep-rooted appreciation for the land.
You’re minutes from trailheads, Samuel P. Taylor State Park, and some of the best hiking and biking in Marin. Fairfax is just a short drive away when you want a dose of cafés, restaurants, and live music—but coming home to Lagunitas always feels like an exhale.
If Fairfax is the party, Lagunitas is the morning after—in the best possible way.
