Bolinas does not appear on the highway signs. The signs are famously removed by residents as soon as Caltrans puts them up. The town does not want to be found by everyone — only by the right people. 385 Cedar Road is for the right people.
Bolinas occupies a stretch of Marin County coastline at the end of Bolinas Lagoon, accessible by a road whose junction on Highway 1 the town has kept unsigned for decades. The community is small, fiercely independent, famously intentional about its character — a place of surfers, artists, writers, farmers, and people who have made a considered decision to live somewhere that the world has not fully discovered and that the residents intend to keep that way. Property here trades rarely and quietly, and when it does, it is among the most culturally significant real estate transactions in the Bay Area.
385 Cedar Road is a 1971 home of 2,001 square feet on 0.6 acres — a genuine piece of West Marin residential fabric, three bedrooms and two baths organized around the indoor-outdoor life that Bolinas's temperate Pacific climate supports year-round. The property's half-acre lot provides the outdoor scale that Bolinas buyers seek: room for a garden, room for chickens, room for the artist studio or workshop that this town's residents tend to require. The natural setting — oak and California bay laurel, Pacific light filtered through coastal fog — does what West Marin landscapes do and makes daily life feel genuinely different from anywhere else.
Closed at $2,695,000 — $1,347 per square foot — against an asking price of $2,695,000, a clean full-price result in 19 days. Bolinas does not discount its homes for buyers who hesitate.
