Own a Novato Gem

Tucked away in the heart of Novato, this custom-built single-level residence offers 3 bedrooms, a den, and 2 bathrooms, blending privacy with extraordinary natural surroundings. Set on just over 15 acres, the property captures panoramic views in every direction—stretching south across Indian Valley Preserve to the ridgeline of Big Rock, and north toward Mt. Burdell, Lakeville, and the distant Sonoma mountains. Rarely does a home deliver such a sense of seclusion while remaining only minutes from the conveniences of town.

Designed with quality craftsmanship throughout, the main living area features a wood-burning fireplace, expansive windows, and direct access to the rear deck, creating a harmonious connection between the indoors and the surrounding landscape. The primary suite includes a private sauna, while an attached three-car garage, accessed through the laundry room, ensures both functionality and ease.

Generous living spaces and outdoor areas make the home perfect for hosting gatherings or simply relaxing in peace. From quiet mornings on the deck to evenings under the stars, the setting offers an unmatched backdrop. In addition, the acreage invites a variety of uses—ranging from outdoor recreation and equestrian pursuits to exciting development potential, including the possibility of a lot split (buyer to verify)—positioning it as a rare opportunity for both homeowners and investors.

Discover the opportunity at 500 Canyon Rd. Whether envisioned as your forever home or the beginning of a new chapter, this property invites you to create the lifestyle you’ve always imagined. Don’t miss your chance to call it your own.

Neighborhood

Nestled in northern Marin County's rolling landscape, Novato has evolved from a Wine Country gateway into a vibrant destination. As the county's second-largest community, the area attracts residents with its Mediterranean climate, dynamic downtown, and relatively attainable housing prices within Marin.

The residential areas showcase diverse living options. Black Point features luxury estates, while Bel Marin Keys offers waterfront properties along scenic lagoons. The tree-lined streets of Alameda Del Prado and the equestrian estates of Indian Valley Road provide additional housing variety.

The Vintage Oaks Shopping Center serves as the primary retail hub. Downtown Grant Avenue, revitalized through beautification efforts, bustles with activity throughout the week. The area hosts regular community events including a weekly farmers market from spring until fall, outdoor film screenings, seasonal parades, and cultural festivals.

The transformation of Hamilton Field from a military base to a mixed-use development exemplifies Novato's evolution. Former aircraft hangars now house an innovative mix of biotechnology firms, digital companies, the Marin Museum of Contemporary Art, and dozens of artist studios. The presence of major institutions like Fireman's Fund Insurance and the Buck Institute, known for its aging research, strengthens the local economy while maintaining the community's diverse character.
