As of April 1, 2020 Panoramic House is no longer available for short term rental or overnight stays.

We have moved to an artist in residence program and are only doing longer term rentals and project based stays.

For more information on our Artist in Residence program or if you have a project you’d like to discuss with us, email us.

Here’s some music you can listen to that some of our friends made:

The Panoramic House is a one-of-a-kind landmark built in the 1960s by a local school teacher, Ron Crandall, and his family. The house is built entirely out of recycled building materials salvaged from the greater bay area. Windows from Victorian mansions sit next to massive timbers from shipyards and cobblestones pulled from the pre-internet era streets of San Francisco. Inspired by farmhouses and wineries from the Brittany region of France but also designed to echo the surrounding bays, hills, and the shadow of Mt. Tamalpais it sits in, the Panoramic House will stick in your mind’s eye long after you've left it.

the Owners

John Baccigaluppi and Robert Lurie are friends and business associates based in California and New York who met through their shared love of surfing and music. At some point, in between surf sessions in Bolinas and Montauk and recording sessions in NYC and CA, the idea of "Wouldn't it be amazing if we had a place we could play music and surf on the coast" became a reality, and we're grateful to be able to share it with our family, friends and other artists.

More About the Property

The current owners bought the house in 2013 and carefully upgraded it while staying true to the original vision for the property. Local builders Woodworking West headed up the work on the house and carefully blended new and vintage recycled building materials. The kitchen, for instance, features all-new appliances and a Blue Star range but blends in perfectly with the original hand-built wood beams, brick and terra cotta castings.

Every room in the house features amazing views of the Pacific Ocean. On a clear day, you can see Pt. Reyes in the distance. There is a seasonal creek on the property, three decks to enjoy the outdoor views, and a separate small cottage/ADU. A short walk takes you to the famous Dipsea trail and down to the beach. Deer, bobcats, birds, and more are frequent visitors. Moreover, as the current owners are musicians, the house is filled with musical instruments and art. This property is the perfect place for an artist or musician to retreat, recharge and create.
