Carmel Valley Home For Sale

Weathered sage doors with carved accents and a lizard knocker announce that whoever lives here sees the world differently. Ivy twists up a warm brick facade, past lace curtains and painted shutters. Built in 1976 and suffused with the organic warmth of that era, this single-level home sits on nearly an acre of sun-drenched land where birdsong and fountain tinkle are the only sounds that reach you. A massive double-sided river rock fireplace anchors a sunken living room where wall-to-wall windows slide open onto a wraparound deck with a built-in hot tub. Keep walking, and find yourself amid gardens of breathtaking whimsy: pebble paths winding through succulents and wildflowers, rust-patinated iron sculptures, and a covered yoga area. Bright orange kitchen tiles, wood paneling, and earth tones create an eclectic yet cohesive interior. Nothing prepares you for the primary bathroom: river rock walls, a sunken turquoise-tiled tub, and a window framing sculptural driftwood. It feels like a grotto. A detached guest house awaits with a full kitchen, family room, dining area, private bedroom, and its own deck. Perfect as a rental income opportunity or a retreat for visiting family. This spectacular property makes you reconsider what a home can be.
