Woodsy panorama in the hills of Marin County
Green Point is a hilly, rural neighborhood that sits between the city of Novato and the mouth of the Petaluma River, where it empties into the San Pablo Bay. Its mountainous, wooded location makes it feel slightly remote, but it’s less than five miles to city attractions, shops and restaurants. “The people who want to live out here are usually looking for more independence, more autonomy,” says Beth Brody of Compass Realty, a longtime agent in the area. “There are a lot of homes that started out as fishing cabins or that were originally built without permits. Some of the roads are still dirt out there. It’s kind of an island unto itself.”

Hiking, hills and local wildlife
The neighborhood is close to an access point to the Bahia Trail, a 4-mile loop through the hills that skirts a wetland marsh. The trail’s colorful wildflower blooms and massive oak trees make for some nice sightseeing, especially during the spring and summer months. Deer Island Preserve is at the southern edge of the neighborhood. This 154-acre nature reserve is a great place for spotting roaming herds of deer, red-shouldered hawks, pelicans and wild lilies growing in the marsh. Avid golfers can tee up nearby at the Stone Tree Golf Club, an 18-hole course with mountain views from the fairways.

Eclectic homes on country lanes
Homes in Green Point are situated along narrow country roads that twist and turn across low, oak-covered hills. These residences were primarily built between the 1970s and 1990s and offer spacious interiors with peekaboo views of the surrounding mountains, wetlands and rivers. Lots are usually more than an acre in size, offering residents peace and privacy amid lush, natural scenery. Homes in the area typically list for between $1.2 million and $2 million, depending on size, age and acreage. “There are some unique homes in the area. And some of them overlook the water and the wetlands,” Brody says.
