Below you will find her Bolinas sales and listings, what sets Bolinas real estate apart, reviews from Bolinas clients, current prices and answers to common questions about buying and selling in Bolinas.
Why Cristina di Grazia Is a Strong Choice in Bolinas
In Bolinas, water service shapes what a property can become. Cristina di Grazia has represented buyers of Bolinas land without water service, her portfolio includes Mesa parcels marketed with a water meter, and she has listed homes from a $1.3 million Mesa cottage to a $5.3 million Horseshoe Hill Road property. She raised her two daughters in Stinson Beach and Bolinas, and several of her Bolinas reviewers on Zillow bought homes here.
What Makes Bolinas Real Estate Different
The biggest difference is water. The Bolinas Community Public Utility District provides water, sewer, solid waste, drainage and parks services across about 2.6 square miles of unincorporated western Marin County, south of Point Reyes National Seashore. In November 1971 its board enacted a moratorium on new connections to the town water supply, and the district says the moratorium is still in effect. The district advises that it should be taken into account by anyone thinking of buying undeveloped land.
Cristina’s transactions show how this plays out. A Big Mesa lot where she represented the buyer was described in its MLS listing as having no water meter, “therefore development is extremely limited,” and it sold for $176,000. Three Mesa parcels with a water meter above Agate Beach, in her portfolio, were marketed as “highly coveted.”
Bolinas is also in the Marin County Coastal Zone, where the County’s Local Coastal Program sets the rules that govern development. Short-term rentals are tightly limited: Marin County’s short-term rental procedures (February 2025) set an initial cap of 63 licenses in Bolinas, falling to an ultimate cap of 54, with licenses renewed every two years.
The town itself has distinct parts. The utility district describes the Big Mesa, the Little Mesa and the downtown area. Cristina’s current listing sits in the historic hamlet of Dogtown, along the southern edge of the Olema Valley. Offshore, Duxbury Reef State Marine Conservation Area, about a mile west of Bolinas, protects one of the largest shale reefs in North America.
