At the rear of the property, an automatic gate opens to private off-street parking and a second finished outbuilding, previously used as a workshop and offering additional space for storage, projects, or creative pursuits. And while the setting feels wonderfully removed, 130 Montezuma is remarkably connected, just 10 minutes from Fairfax, 30 minutes from some of West Marin's most spectacular beaches and National Seashore, and under an hour from both San Francisco and Wine Country.
