Although this fascinating home on two-and-a-half acres of golden land conveys a beautiful sense of remoteness and tranquility amid nature, it is within easy reach of anywhere you want to explore on the Monterey Peninsula. Its prime position within the Hidden Hills community of Carmel Valley places it midway between the Monterey-Salinas Highway 68 corridor and the base of Carmel Valley. Once inside, notice your gaze drawn instantly upward by an elegantly rustic, pitched ceiling meeting the top of a kiva-inspired wood-burning fireplace in the living room. Pass through an informal dining area to enter a gourmet chef's kitchen that features a center island with a chic, light wood countertop. Rich wood flooring runs throughout nearly every room of this three-bedroom dwelling with a calm, elemental Southwestern spirit that melds gorgeously with the surrounding countryside. Outside on an expansive, oak-enclosed patio, sink into the soothing waters of a spa tub as you breathe in the revitalizing scents of earth and trees. A separate yurt waits at the hill's edge, serving as a bonus room. Might it be your yoga studio? Or, perhaps, a library or private guest retreat? Here is a property that has mastered the art of versatility, and done so in a way that feels at once artful and profound.
