Properties on a perch
Most houses in Almonte are built on hilltops, and prices range from $1.5 to $3 million. Midcentury modern and contemporary styles are the norm. “Houses are typically in the 2,000 square feet range,” says Deitch. The sleek outlines contrast with the rolling, hilly landscape of the neighborhood. The narrow winding roads often turn corners where the thick tree cover along the roads falls away in favor of far-reaching views of Richardson Bay or Tamalpais Valley. “Almonte faces the Bay,” says Deitch, “So depending on your orientation, you get great morning sun.”
