About this property
3BR-3BA Wine Country Retreat On 5 Wooded Acres In Sunny Carmel Valley, CA
AREA:
This charming home sits in the middle of five wooded acres in sunny Carmel Valley, just 2 miles from Carmel Valley Village. So, while the home's proximity to nature is one of its biggest draws, the nearby village offers several good restaurants, a market, and numerous wine-tasting rooms. The property borders the Garland Ranch Regional Park and its Kahn Ranch Addition, allowing unspoiled views and easy access to miles of hiking trails. The artful character of the home and the surrounding oak woodland create a pleasant, deeply relaxing environment.
HOUSE:
The two-bedroom, two-bath Main House and its detached Office/Studio can comfortably accommodate up to six guests. The board-and-batten structures have an early-California style, but large windows and vaulted ceilings give them a rustic-modern feel. The Main House comfortably sleeps four adults.
The Main House bedrooms are located on the lower level. One bedroom has a queen bed, and the other has a king bed (convertible to two twin beds). Each bedroom has a convenient en-suite dressing room, equipped with a sink set in a Brazilian granite countertop. There are two bathrooms in the Main House: one downstairs between the two bedrooms (with glass enclosed shower), and one upstairs off the living room (with jetted tub and shower). Both bathrooms feature limestone tiles and Brazilian granite countertops.
The spacious, well-equipped gourmet kitchen has black marble countertops and a six-burner, dual-fuel pro range. You may be surprised at how often you decide to stay in and cook dinner.
The Main House living room has a comfortable feel with its vaulted ceiling, large windows, ample sunshine, and wonderful views. A fireplace adds to the coziness when temperatures drop.
The Office/Studio, just steps away from the Main House, has a small living room (with seating, writing desk, and TV), a bedroom with queen bed, and a full bathroom with glass-enclosed shower.
SERVICES:
AT&T cell service works quite well at the house. However, those with other providers may wish to use WiFi calling while on the property. We have satellite Internet service and TV streaming.
OUTDOORS:
The jetted spa on the deck adjacent to the Office Studio has spectacular views over the oak-studded hills. A soak in its hot water is a real treat.
You can wander in the mediterranean garden among numerous outdoor seating areas and hammocks, relaxing with a glass of wine and taking in the seasonal bloom of lavender, aloe, lupine, and sage.
GUESTS:
This home is best suited for those looking for a relaxed, refined experience in nature. We are looking for low impact, quiet guests. It's a place to enjoy one another's company in a beautiful country setting, yet have the amenities of the Village only a short drive away. For day trips, Carmel Beach is 30 mins away while Monterey Bay Aquarium is 40 mins away.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Kirsten & Bruce

Kirsten and Bruce have owned their home in Carmel Valley for over fifteen years. For the last seven years they have shared it with many appreciative travelers vacationing in the Monterey Peninsula region!
Why they chose this property
When the owners saw their property for the first time, three things sealed the deal: numerous stone-wall terraces ("restanques") unexpectedly graced the hillside, grapevines could be seen growing on a property across the valley, and large live oaks, hung with lacy lichens, dotted the hillside. The owners love the terrain of California's mediterranean climate region, and the wife was reminded of the moss-hung oaks of New Orleans, her childhood home. They feel humbled to be stewards of this beautiful patch of the natural world!
What makes this property unique
In this age of noise and light pollution, it's calming to have a place where the primary sounds surrounding you are natural ones and where the stars can be seen clearly at night. It is restful to the nervous system to have beautiful views everywhere you look. The opportunity to access hiking trails without having to drive anywhere is also a plus. So, visit Carmel to walk on the beach, or go to a Concours d'Elégance event in Pebble Beach, but be sure to book enough time at Les Restanques to also just relax on the property!
