About This Home
Offered for the first time in nearly 50 years, this extraordinary Carmel Highlands estate is a rare, once-in-a-generation opportunity for the ultimate in coastal privacy and convenience. Perched above the pristine Spindrift coast, it boasts sweeping, unobstructed whitewater views of Point Lobos, Yankee Point, and the endless Pacific beyond. The orientation of the house enables views of the sun dropping into the ocean every night of the year. The architectural soul of the home has remained intact, with major renovations executed so seamlessly that they feel original. Spanning four levels, the main house features sophisticated finishes, a sauna, steam shower, theater, and expansive terraces and balconies overlooking lush grounds. Hand-carved limestone fireplaces sourced from Arroyo Seco with French-style laid brick lend warmth and timeless character in the library and living room. The lot is almost ~2 flat, usable acres with mature landscaping, tranquil fountains, and a rare natural spring. A detached, 2-bay garage and private guest studio offers flexibility for hosting or options for on-property caretaking. Studded with redwoods and screened by mature hedges, the property offers serenity, security, and the ultimate in coastal privacy. This is not just another house, it's a legacy.
