Description

It's Carmel-by-the-Sea. This home comes fully furnished and is truly a gem. It is tucked in an alcove and shares its border with the renowned Carmel Mission Creek Trail, just a stone's throw away from the downtown. You can walk to everything. This home includes a separate cottage unit too.
Welcome to the Emerald Forest, Oak Creek Cottage & Manor. This eloquently designed contemporary craftsman home and guest house sits on a secluded estate-sized lot located just a few blocks from the shops and galleries of Carmel-by-the-Sea. With the help of a Feng Shui master, this home was designed to keep your Chi intact while being a great place to raise a family. The main house opens to a Formal Oval Ceiling Dome, Vaulted Ceilings, and Pavillion rooms with custom wrap-around windows and seats connecting the living room and the dining room. Pick any seat in the living room and sit to ponder the vast lush greenery surrounding you. Or, open the door from the dining room and step under an ancient oak tree, then walk to the open firepit next to towering redwoods. You can sit here too, ponder more. Also, in the main house are three bedrooms and three bathrooms, each individually designed by the architect-sailor, who imparted subtle nautical edges with lookouts for full views. The inside fireplaces crackle in both the foyer and the master suite. The cottage is located across a Spreckels Brick breezeway adjacent to the main house. This charming cottage has an open floor plan with a kitchenette, living area, bathroom with shower, and one bedroom. On the Carmel Mission Creek Trail, your private serenity offers many outdoor spaces to sit and enjoy the views and sounds of the babbling creek, distant crashing waves, occasional red foxes, and numerous merry birds. This is a one-of-a-kind property located in the Carmel Unified School District (Ten out of Ten ratings).

Due to high demand, I'll be compiling a list of interested parties. Please contact me via phone so I can get your email address. I will be collecting candidates over the next week then sending out a questionnaire to help with the selection process. Again, the home is not available to tour before the latter part of June. We have tenants. Thank you for your cooperation. Steve

    "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. "
