Why they chose this property
I love the area for its natural beauty and tranquility. But I also enjoy being not far from the many cultural and historic attractions of Carmel, Big Sur, Pebble Beach and Monterey nearby. The best of both worlds!
What makes this property unique
The views—plus sea otters, dolphins, and whales. The south-facing deck is sheltered from the wind and warm year-round when sunny, unlike some oceanfront homes where the wind makes it uncomfortable to be outside for long.
