Robert Redford Lists Cottage in Tiburon for $4 Million

Robert Redford has listed his split-level cottage flanked by redwoods in Tiburon for $4.15 million.

The actor and director known for such films as “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” and “The Horse Whisperer” has put the 2,800-square-foot house up for sale at 2517 Mar East Street, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.

The Academy Award-winning founder of the Sundance Film Festival bought the four-bedroom, three-bathroom home in 2020 for $3.1 million.

The brown shake cottage on 0.2 acres overlooks San Francisco Bay, with views from Keil Cove to Angel Island and beyond. It has a large family room, two-car garage, front garden and patio, and expansive decks facing south and east.

Some furniture and artwork, with some pieces created by Redford and his wife, can be negotiated separately.

Redford, 88, and his wife, artist Sibylle Szaggars Redford, expressed their deep connection to the home and the town of Tiburon.

“We have a long history with and great affection for the town of Tiburon, having previously owned other homes in the area,” they said in a statement to the Chronicle,. “We have always loved the fact that one can walk to most places, not only stores and restaurants, but also hiking trails in the nearby open space.”

Listing agent Steven Mavromihalis of Compass called the property an “oasis of privacy” on a cul-de-sac with little traffic. The listing is shared by John Fitzgerald of Compass.

Since buying the house, the Redfords have made numerous upgrades, both inside and out.

While the couple have relished the Marin County town, once a small ferry stop and dairy center and now one of the Bay Area’s wealthiest residential enclaves, they’re spending less time there.

They mostly live in Santa Fe, N.M., where Sibylle runs an art gallery. They also own homes in California and Utah, where Redford founded the Sundance Institute and Sundance Resort.

“The two of us are devoting a great deal of time to the nonprofit organization, The Way of the Rain, also headquartered in Santa Fe, which produces educational and artistic performances to protect the environment and promote global conservation efforts,” they said.
