Spacious contemporary home with a great view over San Rafael, with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. This home feels private and quiet. It has a cathedral ceiling in the living room and gets great natural light.
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.
