Marin County Magic! $39M Belvedere Mansion Is the Most Expensive New Listing

realtor.com

The Bay Area has a well-earned reputation for astronomical home prices, but this week’s most expensive new listing is notable even by those lofty standards.

Listed for $39 million, a luxury mansion located in the exclusive community of Belvedere is the priciest new property on realtor.com®. According to property records, it was last purchased in 2008 for $19 million. That’s quite a markup!

For those unfamiliar with the bougie charms of Belvedere, the petite spit of land in Marin County is only 1 square mile in area and has a population of just over 2,000. It’s stacked with luxury properties, thanks to stellar views of San Francisco, the Golden Gate Bridge, and Mount Tamalpais. It’s an easy commute by ferry or bridge to the city, and the adjacent tony town of Tiburon serves as Belvedere’s downtown.

This massive waterfront retreat incorporates six beds, 10 baths, and 11,000 square feet on 1.2 acres, and features multiple decks, landscaped gardens, and both indoor and outdoor pools.

As the listing details helpfully note, “This magnificent view estate is truly a one-of-a-kind and the most private property on the prestigious Belvedere Island.”

Completely rebuilt in 2008, the property includes multiple indoor and outdoor areas to soak in the Bay views, as well as an elevator and walkways that connect the various spaces.

Double doors lead to a two-story atrium and a living room with floor-to-ceiling glass. The main living area also features an office with a fireplace, wet bar, a wine cellar, and a terrace. 

The formal dining room is adjacent to the open kitchen, family room, and breakfast nook that open to a view deck with an outdoor dining and barbecue area. An inviting kitchen includes a large granite center island with high-end appliances. 

A cozy master suite contains a sitting area with fireplace, a deck, and a luxury granite bath. The indoor pool at the garden level also offers a sauna, exercise area, steam room, second kitchen, and dining area. 

There’s plenty of parking within the gate, as well as a three-car garage.

This prestigious placement with sweeping Bay Area views doesn’t come cheap. The median home price in Belvedere is just under $3 million (San Francisco’s median home cost is about $1.6 million), with 47 active listings, which spend on average 36 short days on the market.

Olivia Hsu Decker of Golden Gate Sotheby’s International Realty holds the listing.
