There is nothing like it: a secluded 11 acre hillside estate in Carmel Valley. On the approach to the property, one drives past ranches and pastures turning left up a private road, flanked by live oaks. The main house sits at the top with a breathtaking view across Carmel Valley, as well as for miles both up and down it. The post adobe structure is casual and warm with 5 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, 2 laundry rooms, 4 wood-burning fireplaces. Separate guest house with deck and fabulous views. Pool with pool house and outstanding poolside area for lounging or partying: hot tub, vast gardens, vineyard. Barn and several out-buildings. Downtown Carmel is ten minutes away. Carmel Valley Village 10 minutes. You're in the world, but not of it, and all the noise and worry stop at the gate, where this magnificent property, and all it carries with it, begin. It's a space thats perfect for any kind of entertaining, from a small dinner to a big wedding, or anything in between.
