Stirrups, stars, stripes, and stucco ranch homes
In Ignacio, a southern Novato suburb, 1800s ranch land transformed into 20th-century military housing before becoming a contemporary suburban sprawl, leaving a legacy of riding stirrups, stars, and stripes. “[Ignacio] features a few distinct communities,” says Marin County Realtor Megan Pomponio of Compass, who grew up in Ignacio. “Pointe Marin used to be Air Force base housing, but it's now a master-planned community," Pompino continues. “The upscale Marin Country Club area was built in the 1960s and feels like an established suburb, while Pacheco Valle is mostly condos from the late ‘80s and early ‘90s.” All these neighborhoods were once the province of cowboys and today's residents can explore 2,000 acres of nature preserves, or, if they're feeling less adventurous, just go shopping.

Nature preserves and personal golf carts
At Marin Country Club, guests and members tee off on an 18-hole golf course, swim in the pool, or thwack tennis balls and pickle balls back and forth on the club's courts. In the surrounding subdivision, residents zip around the streets in their personal golf carts. Hikers also have plenty to do, with over 2,000 acres of preserved land at their disposal. Indian Valley, Pacheco Valley, Ignacio and Loma Verde Preserves all welcome people (and sometimes dogs) to explore trails that weave and wind underneath madrone, manzanitas and oak trees. Josef Hoog Park is popular for casual outdoor outings, especially for kids and families looking to burn off some energy. “[Ignacio has a] family-oriented vibe. I’ve spent time there for soccer games,” says Katie Wigington, a Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway and Novato resident. The park has grassy fields and a picnic area where people set up camp chairs and lay tablecloths for cookouts.
