15 Wildwood Ln, Novato, CA 94947

Property Description

For the horse lover who wants their animals right outside the back door, not boarded miles away, nor managed by someone else, 15 Wildwood Lane is the property you've been waiting for. Set in Indian Valley, one of Marin County's most coveted and quietly kept secrets, and one of its last true connections to the county's agrarian past. While central Marin neighborhoods have given way to sidewalks, retail corridors, and suburban pace, Indian Valley has held its ground. Bridle paths instead of bike lanes, verdant pastures with grazing horses, and a slower, more unhurried way of life that the rest of the county quietly left behind. The equestrian facilities, currently used as a boarding facility, are perfectly suited for the gentleman farmer or the trail rider with large stalls and attached paddocks, open turnouts, wash rack, tack room, hay and grain storage, barn office, and a small arena. No competition infrastructure, no excess. Just a well-built, relaxed private operation with good bones and a bridle path leading directly from the property into Marin's open space lands. Ride out from your own barn and disappear into the hills. The residence matches the setting in quality and intention. At just over 4,000 square feet, the living room soars with redwood plank ceilings and exposed beams, anchored by a stone fireplace and framed by pasture views. The chef's kitchen features custom stone countertops, professional appliances, farmhouse sink, skylight, and a large center island. A pass-through bar connects to the living areas; a separate dining area with hand-forged chandelier handles everything from weeknight dinners to larger gatherings. Four bedrooms, updated baths, and custom cabinetry throughout. The mud room with a built-in bench, corrugated metal accent wall, direct exterior access is exactly what horse and animal owners recognize as essential. Additionally there's a three-car garage with EV charger, covered front porch, and a private hot tub. Highway 101 and Novato's shops and restaurants are minutes away, yet none of that registers from within the valley. Indian Valley remembers what Marin was. 15 Wildwood Lane is among its finest expressions.
