About this home

Breathtaking views of the coastline stretching from Point Lobos to sunsets across the Pacific Ocean, this private 14-acre estate in Carmel Highlands has long served as a source of inspiration for Grammy-Award winning composer Alan Silvestri, whose work includes iconic scores for Back to the Future, Forrest Gump & The Avengers. The beautifully reimagined Craftsman-style main residence is distinguished by its architectural character and craftsmanship. Locally sourced jade, stone, & redwood are woven into the design creating a blend of elegance and authenticity. Enjoy the stunning ocean view setting with a swimming pool & hot tub, landscaped grounds & a private tennis court. Also featuring 3 guesthouses, each with its own story to tell, offering versatile spaces for family, guests or creative pursuits. Just a short drive from the charm of Carmel, this extraordinary property combines natural splendor with meticulous design, offering a rare opportunity to experience both inspiration & serenity.
