Tour this huge Marin County Japanese Mid-century estate with $43 million price tag

Listed off market for $43 million, an estate in the Bay Area blends Mid-century design and Japanese architecture in a vast native oak landscape.

Dubbed the Quail Hill Estate, the 20-acre property overlooks Ross Valley and Mount Tamalpais. The sprawling residence has eight bedrooms, nine-and-a-half baths and 11,565 square feet of living space. The home features floor-to-ceiling walls of glass.

The retreat has never been on the public market, according to a Compass representative.

“A property of this scale and grandeur is rarely available,” according to the listing. “Its architectural quality and integrity stand as a testament to the owners’ desire to achieve a home set in nature that is unmatched in beauty, serenity and peace. Its iconic design continues to inspire and influence architects around the world.”

Mid-century elements exist throughout the home, from floors to furnishings to finishes, and traditional and contemporary Japanese influence is obvious in its structure and decor.

The courtyard gardens are designed by Nagao Sakuri, who was chief gardener at the Imperial Palace in Tokyo for 20 years A swimming pool and pavilion feature 180-degree views. There are staff quarters for property management and garage parking for six.

Compass agent Neal Ward is representing the property.
