B83.Unique Guitar-Shaped Pool Highlighted in $15 Million California Beach House Listing

Good news, music fans! A beach house in Northern California with serious rock ‘n’ roll connections just hit the market for nearly $15 million. Built in 1920, this storied property in Bolinas, an insular beach town about 30 miles north of San Francisco, was once home to Grace Slick, lead singer of Jefferson Airplane. The oceanfront hideaway has also hosted music legends like David Crosby and Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead.

The property has 400 feet of beachfront.

Spanning 4,074 square feet on nearly an acre of land, the property boasts approximately 400 feet of picturesque beachfront along the Pacific Ocean. Unlike most oceanfront homes in Bolinas, which sit on high bluffs, Slick’s former hideaway is one of only two properties directly on the beach—the other owned by Zynga founder Marc Pincus.

The home sits on a seawall with expansive ocean views.

The current owner, Mark Talucci, chairman and co-founder of the Sak Group, has owned the home for over 25 years. Historically, the property has served various roles, including a hotel, tea house, bathhouse, and casino, and was a gathering place for affluent visitors arriving by boat from San Francisco.

“It’s practically in the ocean and built on a seawall,” Talucci told Mansion Global. The area, known for its privacy and exclusivity, has long been a sanctuary for artists and creatives like actress Frances McDormand, chef Alice Waters, and Third Eye Blind’s Stephan Jenkins. Bolinas is notoriously reclusive, accessible only via unmarked roads—a trait that locals maintained by tearing down signs on the state route.

The home features four bedrooms and four bathrooms, with painstakingly restored interiors that maintain the traditional Northern California beach house aesthetic. Highlights include wood shingles, exposed beams, lots of shiplap, and original Douglas fir floors preserved in the kitchen. Additional features are a main-level primary suite with an outdoor shower and patio, a recreation room with a built-in wet bar, and a sauna.

Out back, there’s a guitar-shaped swimming pool designed by Slick in the ‘70s, paying homage to the home’s musical heritage. “The spacious family room was the home of the practice stage where members of Jefferson Airplane, the Grateful Dead, and other legendary musicians crafted songs and jammed late into the evening,” notes the listing. “Like those timeless classics, this home is indeed one for the ages.”
