** RARE MAGICAL PROPERTY IN MILL VALLEY... A haven for writers, artists and musicians. Located on about three acres+/- and another 1.6+/- acres is also available for purchase. Private but not isolated being just 8 to 10 Minutes from Downtown Mill Valley offering privacy and serenity. The property waits for the new owner's tender loving and care of this rustic and unique property located on at least two lots on 4.6 acres on a private ridgetop in Mill Valley. There is an existing main home and a cabin awaiting your creative renovations. This home was owned by the author E.G. Valens and the cabin is where he wrote “The Other Side of the Mountain” which became a movie nominated for 3 Oscars as well as several of his many well known (children's and science) books. If you are looking for privacy, tranquility and an amazing location this is it. Get away from it all. You will never want to leave.
