What is being sold at 81 Mount Tiburon Road
81 Mount Tiburon Road is listed as a pre-purchase opportunity: a buyer would contract for the property while a renovation and expansion is underway. The listing describes taking the existing residence of about 3,599 square feet to about 4,501 square feet, with five bedrooms, a primary suite, guest accommodations, indoor-outdoor entertaining space, level lawn areas and a pool, on a site of nearly one acre in the Mount Tiburon area.
The listing also says that plans, engineering and permitting are still in progress, that completion is targeted for summer 2027, and that renderings and some images are architectural visualizations of the proposed design. That distinction drives everything else on this page. Part of what a buyer pays for is a finished home that does not exist yet, so the contract, the approvals and the construction obligations matter as much as the setting.
Existing home versus proposed home
Keep two property descriptions side by side throughout due diligence:
| Question | Existing residence | Proposed residence |
|---|---|---|
| Size and layout | About 3,599 sq ft, built 1970 | About 4,501 sq ft, 5 bed / 4.5 bath |
| Evidence that it exists | Records, inspection, site visit | Plans, approvals, construction contract |
| Images | Photos of the current house, if provided | Renderings (architectural visualizations) |
| What could change | Condition found during work | Design, scope, cost, timing, approvals |
| What protects the buyer | Inspection and disclosure rights | Purchase-contract terms covering scope, completion and remedies |
The listing data mixes the two. For example, one portal shows the existing 1970 structure next to the planned bedroom count and square footage. Price comparisons, insurance quotes and lender appraisals all depend on which description is being used.
Questions a buyer should resolve before writing an offer
- What exactly is the seller obligated to deliver? Ask for the plans and specification set the listing offers on request, and make sure the contract ties delivery to those documents, including allowances, finish standards and who approves substitutions.
- Where are the approvals? Ask the Town of Tiburon Planning Division for the current application file and any design review decisions for the address, and confirm building-permit status separately. Planning approval, building permits and final sign-off are different milestones. Contact the Town of Tiburon Planning Division by phone at (415) 435-7390.
- What happens if completion slips past summer 2027? Ask for outside dates, extension terms and remedies in writing.
- How is the purchase price paid and protected? Find out whether the deal closes now with construction afterward, or closes at completion, and how deposits are held. That question is for your attorney and lender as much as your agent.
- What will insure and finance the property during and after construction? Get insurance quotes early. See our guides on homeowners insurance during escrow and the California FAIR Plan.
- Which hazard disclosures apply to the parcel? Review the natural hazard disclosure report, including fire-hazard and geologic information for the hillside site, and any defensible-space requirements.
- Which views are protected? A view from today’s structure, or from a rendering, is not the same as a view from the approved finished floor levels. Confirm the approved heights, and ask about trees on neighboring land that could affect views.
Price, public records and comparison
The asking price of $13,500,000 works out to about $2,999 per square foot of the planned 4,501 sq ft. Per-square-foot figures for a home that has not been built are a rough guide only. A listing portal also shows a recorded sale of the property on October 8, 2025, at $4,500,000. Verify recorded transfers with a title company or the Marin County Assessor-Recorder, not from portal summaries.
A defensible price comparison for this property separates three things: the land and its view, the value of a completed home of the delivered quality, and the cost and risk the buyer takes on until completion. Recent Tiburon sales of finished view homes are evidence for the second, not a substitute for the third. Our comparative market analysis guide explains how we document those choices.
