The story
In a quiet pocket of Forest Knolls, 169 Resaca unfolds as a private retreat shaped by its woodland surroundings. A gated entry opens to a sunny 0.65-acre lot where a classic wood-shingled home sits framed by redwoods and the stillness that defines this stretch of West Marin. Inside, the home offers an easy, livable layout centered around a generous living room with large windows that draw in natural light and the landscape beyond. A fireplace anchors the space, while the kitchen looks directly out to the trees, keeping everyday moments connected to the setting. With two spacious bedrooms, two full baths, and an office/den on the main living level that has also been used as a bedroom, the interiors strike a balance between openness, comfort, and flexibility. The entirety of the home has been designed and maintained as a low EMF, low VOC, mold free health conscious living environment. The lower level includes a spacious flex room with potential for work, hobbies, guest use, or additional storage. A wraparound porch extends the living space outdoors, creating multiple places to sit, gather, and take in the natural surroundings. The lot is sunny and private, with generous outdoor storage and usable space for gardening, entertaining, or simply enjoying time outside. Over the past seven years, the garden has been thoughtfully cultivated using Native American practices with an emphasis on sustainability, resulting in unusually rich soil, several fruit trees, and a wide variety of edible and medicinal plants. The offering also includes an adjoining lot, creating rare additional outdoor space for camping, meditation, creative use, or future ancillary structures. An existing second septic system adds another uncommon layer of potential for possible expansion or a second structure.
