This predominantly single-story estate stands on its own private, level ridge-top on 49+ acres and is perfectly situated to maximize spectacular, vast blue sky, and unique valley and mountain views within the Santa Lucia Preserve. The premier Preserve property is accessed via a long picturesque driveway and includes an expansive, welcoming front courtyard, extensive terraces for seamless indoor/outdoor entertaining, fully-fenced level yard with putting green and croquet court, and a charming iron-fence enclosed garden with mature citrus trees and separate dog-run. The estate is zoned as full-time equestrian and has room to include a barn, guest house, caretakers cottage and infinity edge pool, if desired. Located only two miles from the Preserve front gate within a most desirable microclimate, this one-of-a-kind property is an oasis of elegance and privacy with easy access to shopping, dining, schools, healthcare, and airport, as well as Carmel-by-the-Sea with all it’s charm and amenities.
