Glass, stone, wood, ocean, and sky. Some homes are built, this one was composed. This extraordinary contemporary residence in Carmel Highlands is unlike anything on the market. Coming to market for the first time in over 50 years, this is a once in a generation opportunity to own something truly irreplaceable. Soaring 18-foot walls of glass flood the great room with natural light and frame an ever changing canvas of pine, oak, and sweeping ocean views. Clean architectural lines, exposed wood beam ceilings, warm redwood framing, and a dramatic stone fireplace create a seamless dialogue between structure and landscape. The floor plan unfolds organically, a dining room perched among the treetops wrapped in glass, skylights that turn every room into a light study, and French doors that dissolve the boundary between interior and garden. The primary suite opens to a private deck with ocean views. A fully self contained second suite with its own bathroom and kitchenette offers flexibility for guests or extended family. Outside, a remarkably flat and usable lot, a tranquil courtyard deck, and lush mature gardens provide the kind of privacy that is nearly impossible to find. No neighbors in sight, no noise, just nature. Deeply private, architecturally rare, and unmistakably one of a kind.

This extraordinary Carmel Highlands is a rare offering steeped in history, artistry and timeless coastal beauty. Designed to live flexibly, the home can be enjoyed as two or three separate units or one expansive family retreat. Originally built as a 915 sq ft cabin, the home was thoughtfully expanded in 1975 with a striking architectural addition designed by Peter Lee and crafted by master builder Stephen Trapkus alongside the current family who have cherished it for over 50 years. The result is a soulful blend of rustic charm and architectural elegance, where soaring wood-beamed ceilings, rich hardwood floors, and walls of glass frame sweeping wooded and peek-a-boo ocean views. Natural light floods every room, creating warm and inviting interiors that harmonize with the surrounding redwoods, Monterey pines, and rugged coastline. Carmel Highlands itself has a storied legacy, envisioned in 1915 by Frank Devendorf as a creative haven for artists, writers, and sculptors. Now enhanced with modern amenities, including high-speed internet for those seeking both seclusion and connectivity. This property embodies the magic of Carmel Highlands where history, art, and nature converge. Private Beach Access! Welcome Home!
