Almonte sits in a scenic, east-facing stretch of Mill Valley near the edge of the Bothin Marsh Preserve and Richardson Bay. It's a hillside neighborhood known for panoramic views, winding streets, and a uniquely tucked-away feel while still being remarkably close to 101 and Tam Junction. The topography creates a sense of quiet detachment from the bustle of nearby routes, while still offering fast access to nearby amenities and downtown Mill Valley. The homes vary in style—from mid-century and custom builds to more contemporary hillside retreats—many offering decks and windows that maximize views across the marshlands and bay. With the Bothin Marsh Preserve and Mill Valley-Sausalito Path nearby, residents have near-immediate access to nature and biking routes. The Hook Fish Co., Equator Coffees, and several locally loved shops and eateries sit just down the road in Tam Junction, making this one of Mill Valley’s most convenient and versatile pockets. It’s a neighborhood where nature and accessibility blend well—ideal for those seeking a serene lifestyle without sacrificing connectivity.
