A rare expression of California coastal living, evocative of the iconic Sea Ranch where architecture is shaped by its extraordinary setting. Directly across from the trails and wild beauty of Point Lobos Nature Preserve, this home is a Carmel Highlands retreat, privately set on one usable acre amid Monterey pines and forest. Expanded in 1975 with a striking architectural addition designed by Peter Lee and master builder Stephen Trapkus. Soaring ceilings frame the forest and blue Pacific beyond, seen from every room of the home, while a rooftop observation deck offers rare vistas of tree tops and Point Lobos. Floor to ceiling windows and multiple decks, the stone patio is ideal for a hot tub, with a sauna inside for ultimate relaxation. Sheltered from coastal wind and highway noise, the property offers a tranquil setting and a wonderful neighborhood to explore the scenery. The flexible floor plan can function as 2 or 3 distinct spaces or one retreat, ideal for multigenerational living, a yoga or wellness wing or artists retreat or musicians studio. Ownership also includes access to the keyed Yankee Point Cove and Mal Paso bluffs. A protected bird sanctuary below the property further preserves the feeling of privacy and ensures minimal surrounding development. Welcome Home.
