About this House

Offered for the first time in nearly 50 years, this extraordinary ocean view Carmel Highlands estate is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for coastal privacy and luxury convenience. Perched above the pristine Spindrift coast, it boasts sweeping, unobstructed whitewater views of Point Lobos and Yankee Point, and the orientation of the house enables views of the sun dropping into the ocean each night of the year. The architectural soul of the home has remained intact, with major renovations done so seamlessly that they feel original. Spanning four levels, the main house is sophisticated and features a sauna, steam shower, theater, and expansive terraces and balconies overlooking lush and mature grounds. Hand-carved limestone fireplaces sourced from Arroyo Seco with French-style cut brick lend warmth and timeless character in the library and living room. 2 flat, usable acres, comprised of two lots of record feature tranquil fountains and a rare, natural spring for the landscaping. A detached, 2-bay garage and private studio offer flexibility for guests or an on-property caretaker. Studded with redwoods and screened by dense hedges, the property provides serenity, security, and privacy. This is not just another house for sale, it is an opportunity to acquire a rare generational legacy

    "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. "
