Why they chose this property

If you want privacy with peace and quiet away from people then this is the place. No one will know that your out here other than your hosts.

What makes this property unique

So many unique benefits to this newly renovated old homestead. The home is made from stone and wood harvested from the property over 100 years ago. Doug fir wood flooring, stone fireplace even has an old farm sink from 1920. The mudroom upon entry is inviting with nice overlooking views of the long driveway and a small meadow.. Upon entering the main room you'll notice all the windows face the North ridge. The granite in the kitchen matches the old stone and gives the warm feeling that it too came from the property. The main dining area feels as if your sitting in the forest with it's natural pine interior and wall of windows. Just out the slider door and your on the deck that also faces the hills to the north and with a short walk down some stepping stones your at a fire pit. There are several on property hiking loops that are permitted to be used at certain times of the year dependent upon forest management practices please ask the hosts if they are available. The town of Carmel has several supermarkets and local restaurants. Shopping for any need can be found within a 30 min drive in any direction.
