Located in coveted Indian Valley, this gated, flat-acre equestrian estate offers an inviting, updated 1900 farmhouse and a classic red barn designed as an ADU, creating a relaxing retreat. Thoughtfully arranged to accommodate horses, the property includes front and rear paddocks, three stalls with turnouts, two tack rooms, hay storage, and trailer and equipment parking. Garden areas, a greenhouse, and additional sheds add versatility for a hobby-farm lifestyle, including dog runs and a charming henhouse for chickens. The main home features a covered front porch, a spacious living room, skylights, and French doors that open to a patio and pergola, creating an effortless connection between indoor and outdoor living. The backyard feels straight out of a luxury magazine, presenting an elegant backdrop for entertaining with a spa and firepit. The signature barn includes a three-car roll-up garage with high ceilings, a mechanical lift, a separate lower-level room suitable for a studio, office, or gym, and a full apartment above the garage with dormer view windows. Just down the road, the Indian Valley Preserve offers trails for horseback riding, hiking, biking, and walking. Convenient access to downtown Novato and Highway 101. An exceptional opportunity to reside in a peaceful, country-like setting with the flexibility to create a lifestyle that reflects your vision.
