There are properties. There are exceptional properties. And then there is 1860 Mountain View Drive — the undisputed Trophy of Tiburon. Rising from the most coveted hilltop in Marin County, this singular architectural achievement has been celebrated in the press, studied by architects, and coveted by the world's most discerning buyers since its completion. There is nothing else like it — in Tiburon, in the Bay Area, or anywhere.

Architect David Kotzebue's cantilevered steel-frame engineering makes the structure appear to float above its hillside site, suspended in the very air that surrounds it. Five floor-to-ceiling NanaWall stacking glass systems — each rising eleven feet — retract entirely to open the home to the sky, the bay, and the horizon. The Golden Gate Bridge, the San Francisco skyline, Angel Island, the Marin Headlands, and the slopes of Mount Tamalpais compose a commanding sweep of water, light, and landscape that shifts from brilliant daylight to extraordinary twilight with every passing hour.

Inside, matched olivewood veneers, French limestone, soaring Pacific red cedar ceilings, Venetian plaster walls, and Statuario marble reflect a precision of craft rarely found at any price. The great room anchors the home around a floor-to-ceiling glass fireplace — a composition of light, material, and view that is nothing short of breathtaking. A full catering kitchen complements the primary chef's kitchen, both equipped throughout with Miele appliances.

The infinity-edge pool meets the horizon at the southern terrace, where Ipe wood decks flush with flamed granite extend the living space into the landscape — itself a considered design by Studio Green's John Merton, who sought "a perfect balance of softness of the plantings and the hardness of the linear geometry." The result is a home that does not merely command its setting — it completes it.
