611 Fairway Drive, Novato — Truly one of the finest homes available in the coveted Marin Country Club community, 611 Fairway Drive has been extensively remodeled to create a one-of-a-kind home uniquely located on a quiet cul-de-sac backing up to the Ignacio Valley Nature Preserve. This spectacular 5 BR/4.5 BA estate offers over 5,400 sq ft of living space and exudes superior quality, design and opulence from every room. The home’s soaring ceilings, large-scale living spaces and open-concept floor plan include a newly remodeled, magazine-worthy chef’s kitchen as well as a recently added, grand-scale entertaining room reminiscent of an upscale country club. Walls of glass open out to a private backyard oasis on one side and stunning views of the pristine open space on the other.
There is also a formal living room and dining room as well as a family room off the kitchen and a kid’s lounge upstairs. Also offering a 3,600 bottle wine cellar and private, level backyard oasis, this stunning home has it all. The Marin Country Club with its beautiful 18-hole golf course, pool, tennis courts, restaurant and bar is just a short golf cart ride away. Don’t miss this opportunity to live the dream and experience Marin Country Club living at its absolute finest.
Guests enter the home through two large custom cedar doors into the foyer which features soaring 20-foot ceilings and opens into the formal living room and dining room. A powder room is located just off the foyer featuring a beautiful custom stone counter top, custom tile and a vessel sink.
The formal living room is just off the entry foyer and features a stone gas fireplace and bay window. There are Brazilian Cherry hardwood floors throughout the main living areas. The grandeur is accentuated by a striking, custom stone fireplace that reaches to the top of the room’s dramatic 15-foot ceilings.
The formal dining room is open to the living room and features Brazilian Cherry hardwood floors and 12-foot ceilings. A beautiful coved ceiling with chandelier and recessed lighting sets the stage for a memorable dining experience. It is located just off the kitchen for convenience of service.
The stunning chef’s kitchen is a masterpiece worthy of a magazine. Completed in 2018 and boasting 10-foot ceilings, the expansive kitchen is accentuated by natural light from the large Fleetwood windows as well as from the professionally designed custom lighting. An example of true opulence, the kitchen features high-end stainless appliances including a double Wolf range, custom Vent-a-Hood, built-in Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer, and Bosch dishwasher, Taj Mahal quartzite counters, custom cabinetry, three sinks, a striking metal tile backsplash and a grand center island perfect for informal dining and gatherings.
Across from the center island is a large breakfast bar designed for easy food preparation and service — ideal for family or guests. The breakfast bar features two SubZero drawer refrigerators and two Fisher Paykel drawer dishwashers.
This magnificent kitchen sets the standard by which all other kitchens will be judged.
Superlatives fail when describing the home’s spectacular great room which was added in 2014 with the utmost attention to detail and the highest-quality construction. Designed with entertaining in mind, this expansive room boasts walls of glass that open out to the private back yard on one side and the stunning views of pristine Ignacio Valley Nature Preserve on the other.
The room features 18.5-foot cherry wood ceilings, thirty-two linear feet of 10-foot high Fleetwood sliding doors, radiant heated floors, two large-screen TVs with surround sound and an artisan limestone custom gas fireplace. There is also a custom Centor screen system for all the large openings.
The bar rivals any high-end country club bar and features Louvre quartzite counters, two Miele dishwashers specifically designed for wine glasses, a Thermador microwave, full oven and warming drawer, Sub-Zero refrigerator and double U-line wine cooler. There is also an outdoor kitchen just off the bar with Lynx stainless appliances. The combined bar and outdoor grill area is essentially a second kitchen.
This incredible room is the perfect place for large scale events, family gatherings, watching the game or just relaxing with a glass of wine while enjoying the captivating views.
On the other side of the kitchen is a more intimate family room that features 10-foot ceilings and a gas fireplace. Sliding doors open out to a second patio that leads to the level back yard.
It is the perfect location for guests who want to keep an eye on the action in the kitchen while enjoying conversation nearby.
The home’s main living areas flow out to a private outdoor oasis featuring a stone tile patio with custom cedar pergola with gas-plumbed overhead heaters, a level lawn area with easy-care artificial turf, an outdoor kitchen and spectacular views of the adjacent Ignacio Valley Nature Preserve.
This lovely outdoor space is the perfect place for play, entertaining guests, dining al fresco or perfecting your putting and chipping skills.
The large, stately master suite is located behind a double entry door and features 10-foot ceilings, a sitting area, a cozy stone gas fireplace and large walk-closet. The spacious ensuite master bath boasts custom tile, two separate vanities, a jetted soaking tub with an elegant chandelier above, separate toilet room and a large walk-in shower with glass surround.
There is also a large guest bedroom with an ensuite bathroom located on the main level. This room could also serve as the perfect home office. The ensuite bath features a custom tile, walk-in glass shower with a built-in stone bench.
There are three spacious bedrooms upstairs all with walk-in closets. Two bathrooms are located upstairs, one of which is ensuite and features reclaimed French parefeuille tiles.
There is also an additional family room or “kids lounge” just outside the bedrooms, perfect for homework, TV or games. The entire upper level boasts 9-foot ceilings and 8-foot high doors.
The impressive wine cellar downstairs holds approximately 3,600 bottles of wine and offers ample space for wine-tasting parties. The floor is tiled with beautiful reclaimed French parefeuille tiles and the ceiling features exposed wood beams.

Incorporated in 1960 and encompassing 43 square miles with 3,500 acres of open space and parks, Novato offers a variety of neighborhoods including waterfront communities such as Bel Marin Keys, horse farms, smaller homes and condos near the downtown center and larger homes and mansions located in the hills.
Shopping in Novato ranges from the Vintage Oaks Shopping Center which includes Costco, Target and 50 retail stores and restaurants, to the recently-restored historic downtown, also known as “Old Town,” which is a quaint, welcoming area of coffee shops, boutiques and restaurants.
Novato is a haven for visitors and residents who enjoy fishing, hiking, biking or day camping. Bird watchers and wildlife observers are drawn to Scottsdale Pond & Marsh, Deer Island Preserve and Pacheco Pond Wildlife Area. Hikers come from all over to hike in Indian Valley, a 558-acre preserve near the College of Marin’s Novato campus. Bikers love the new Stafford Lake Bike Park, the first park in Marin dedicated to bicyclists.
