Imagine Lucas Valley 85 years ago, when an adventurous San Francisco family waded across Nicasio Creek to an enticing meadow to claim their spot for a coveted getaway. Surrounded by a forest of redwoods, they felled their own trees to construct a one-room cabin. And, sitting on the banks of a rock-strewn stream, they gathered perfect stones for an interior hearth to prepare meals and warm their new retreat. Nearly a century later, the scene is no less appealing, but now a fortified and modernized home offers full-time residency. Sunshine illuminates a level yard providing comfortable outside living on open decks and wide turf. A sturdy footbridge spans the flowing water; and outbuildings, a modern well-water system, and ample parking area complete the property. A storybook attraction on 5 private acres, tucked away but conveniently positioned for short drives to San Rafael, Fairfax, Point Reyes Station, and just minutes to the engaging Nicasio town square and renowned restaurant and music venue.
