If you like redwoods you will love Blithedale Canyon. Many of the homes are deep in the tall trees, so while it’s pretty much the definition of a beautiful sylvan setting, in some spots you won’t get a lot of sun. There are many larger luxury homes mixed in with smaller properties, many of which were originally summer homes for residents of San Francisco. Once you get up on the ridges around the canyon homes have some amazing views. The location is great for Mt. Biking and hiking with easy access to Mt. Tam trail heads.
