The gated granite entrance welcomes you with a cypress tree-lined driveway. Surrounded by three sides of the Pacific Ocean and protected by stunning cypress groves, the coastal views and privacy are unparalleled. Private hiking trails on two ocean bluffs conclude at the water's edge with access to tidepools and a secluded cove. If you are looking for a once-in-a-generation oceanfront estate, you have found it.

    "It is the first neighborhood I’ve ever lived in that every neighbor keeps to themselves! No one comes out to say hello—they just scurry into the house, avoid eye contact when smiled at in close proximity, & they peek at anyone outdoors as if they are a zombie looking for your next victim... very peculiar, when FUN is a crime, & silent ghost street is what it feels like to go out for a walk. Eerie"

    "Carmel Woods is set high enough above sea level that I can see peeks of the ocean at carmel beach. The trees are hundreds of feet TALL, & pruned to be bare, stripped of mud-length branches—prehistoric in appearance. The neighbors are all isolated and hardly social. I have never gotten beyond small talk in the 3 yrs of living here. Pollen is extremely allergenic, even in me, who is not allergic. Quiet street, to a fault. "
