Marin Properties with over 10 Acres
Marin County has the most protected land of any county in the Bay Area. About half of Marin's land base is managed by the Federal Government, State of California, County Regional Parks, Open Space, and Water Districts. The Marin Municipal Water District owns over 20,000 acres of watershed land, much of which is open to the public to enjoy. MALT, the Marin Agricultural Land Trust, has invested in permanent conservation easements on about 47,000 acres of farmland to keep it from being privately developed. It is no wonder that Marin Real Estate is priced at a premium for its residents to enjoy all the publicly protected land.
Wildlife is protected, including the Salmon within their spawning creeks, the Tule Elk at the Seashore, and migrating birds using the Pacific Flyway. The incredible bio-diversity of this area is a priority for protection by governmental agencies and non-profits alike. The Environmental Action Committee and the Environmental Forum of Marin are but two of the many organizations that enjoy substantial public support for the significant projects they undertake to protect the native flora and fauna from harm by human activities.
Many of the ten-plus acre properties sold in Marin have stunning views of the Pacific Ocean, San Fransico and San Pablo Bays, Mount Tamalpais, Black Mountain, and Tomales Bay, to name a few. Many people are attracted to these more significantly sized properties to engage in organic farming of fruit trees and vegetables. Some properties are well suited to family compounds, with old barns and sheds made usable for hobbies and other business pursuits. Other people seek secluded retreats and sanctuaries in a paradise-like setting, with both year-round and seasonal creeks and spectacular hiking trails.
