Perched in the Carmel Highlands, this striking ocean-view contemporary compound is a modern collectors dream. The property includes a 2,360-square-foot main residence with 3 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, a detached 425-square-foot studio guest house with its own kitchen, bath, and beautiful views toward Point Lobos, and a 760-square-foot detached 2-car garage designed to showcase a prized car collection. Soaring wood-beam ceilings, hand-troweled finishes by local artisans, walnut cabinetry, radiant warmth, and walls of glass create an inviting, artful interior. Accordion glass doors open to approximately 1,000 square feet of decks framing sweeping ocean views, coastal sunsets, and passing whales. A private sauna occupies its own secluded deck behind the guest house, nestled among mature coffeeberry bushes and sharing the same beautiful Point Lobos view. Surrounded by mature cypress trees and native landscaping, the compound offers exceptional privacy and tranquility. Just minutes from spectacular beaches, Carmel-by-the-Sea, and the trails of Point Lobos, this is a rare coastal sanctuary where architecture, automotive artistry, and the natural beauty of Carmel Highlands converge.
Carmel, located between Carmel Valley Road and the Santa Lucia foothills, is a rural and village-style Carmel Valley Village neighborhood with vineyard views and oak-studded hillsides. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Carmel Valley Road corridor near Mid Valley Shopping Center, where tasting rooms, galleries, and patio dining set a relaxed, walkable rhythm. Architectural cues lean toward ranch homes, cottage-inspired builds, and low-slung residences that follow the valley’s contours. Folktale Winery & Vineyards, Bernardus Lodge & Spa, and the Sunset Center anchor local culture with wine, hospitality, and performing arts. Garland Ranch Regional Park frames the outdoor backdrop with trailheads and river scenery. The pace stays unhurried, shaped by open land, equestrian properties, and a strong connection to the valley landscape.
