Rarely available in coveted Los Ranchitos, 4 Ranch Road is a truly exceptional property offering privacy, scale, versatility, and resort-style amenities across approximately one level acre. Framed by mature landscaping and open surroundings, the property has the rare feeling of a private country retreat, peaceful, expansive, and seemingly miles away from it all, while remaining remarkably close to everyday conveniences. The single-level residence spans approximately 2,428 square feet with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, featuring gracious living spaces, abundant natural light, and seamless access to the surrounding grounds. Not included in the stated square footage, the detached pool house with a bathroom offers exceptional flexibility as guest quarters, an au pair suite, private office, wellness space, or sophisticated poolside retreat. The land is one of the property's defining features. Approximately one acre of remarkably level, highly usable grounds creates an extraordinary sense of openness and privacy, with beautiful outlooks across the property and multiple areas to entertain, relax, play, and gather. A separate driveway leads to an expansive, beautifully level open area, offering an additional sense of space, access, and versatility. A sparkling swimming pool, volleyball court, bocce ball court, outdoor wine cellar, expansive entertaining areas, mature landscaping, and generous open space come together to create a true resort-like setting. An oversized four-car garage is complemented by dedicated office and workshop space, and exceptional additional parking for multiple vehicles, guests, recreational equipment, or a car collection. What makes 4 Ranch Road especially compelling is the contrast, it feels like a secluded country estate surrounded by space, privacy, and tranquility, yet it is just minutes from Highway 101 and approximately 20 miles from the Golden Gate Bridge. Shopping, dining, recreation, and surrounding communities are all effortlessly accessible, creating the rare luxury of feeling worlds away while remaining remarkably close to everything. A singular Los Ranchitos retreat where privacy, views, extraordinary usable land, resort-style amenities, and effortless accessibility come together in one remarkable setting.

Los Ranchitos, located between Lucas Valley Road and the Terra Linda hills, is a semi-rural and residential San Rafael neighborhood with horse properties and winding, oak-lined lanes. The character concentrates around the Lucas Valley Road corridor near the Big Rock Deli, where cyclists, ranch trucks, and weekend errand-runs share a low-key, country-in-town rhythm. Large-lot homes and ranch-style properties sit behind split-rail fences, with trailheads and open-space edges shaping daily routines. The setting feels tucked into the North Bay’s green folds, with ridgelines and creekbeds defining the views. Nearby community pillars like Big Rock Deli, Marinwood Market, and the Marinwood Community Center add a familiar, local cadence.
