Carmel Nirvana: Close to Shops Restaurants Golf Beach

Carmel, California, United States

Summary:brbrCarmel Nirvana is private with great canyon views, close to World Class Golf, Shopping, Restaurants, and Spas. Walking distance to Carmel- by the -Sea. Less them 1.5 miles walking to Carmel Beach. Beautifully updated home, lots of outdoor space to enjoy beautiful canyon. This roomy 2800 square foot is located on a wooded hillside overlooking Carmel’s Hatton Canyon. This four (4) bedroom home with three (3) full baths has been modernized from top to bottom. Visitors are invited and welcomed in by the spacious open floor plan. With high vaulted ceilings, skylights and floor to ceiling windows provide an abundance of light and exquisite forest views throughout the house.brbrbrbrThe Space:brbrWelcome to “Nirvana.” brbrbrbrThose seeking bliss in Carmel-by-the-Sea will find it here at “Nirvana,” a spacious and tranquil property that encourages private communion with the great outdoors and quality time shared with loved ones. This home is only 1.5 miles from Carmel Beach – well within easy reach of your favorite downtown restaurants, tasting rooms, and designer boutiques – yet it sits far back from the street on an oversized hillside lot, so there’s nothing to detract from the dreamlike sense of sun-dappled stillness and remoteness that suffuses the special atmosphere. Enter “Nirvana” via a descending driveway, and listen to bubbling fountains and soft breezes playing in the mature oak trees overhead. Sunlight filters through the leaves, gleaming on the surface of the hot tub’s soothing waters. Imagine the cool evenings you’ll spend here, studying the changing colors of each sweet pea sunset, talking with your companions, and watching other members of your group play at the basketball hoop. Take a meandering path down the sloped hill on the property. Carmel’s Hatton Canyon unfolds immediately before you. Breathe in the scent of forest, and watch Red-tailed Hawks circling in the afternoon sky. Continue your reverie on one of two wraparound decks – one on the lower level, and one on the upper level – where you’ll encounter dramatic canyon and mountain vistas around every turn. You’ll feel like you’re in a treehouse as you lean against the wooden railing and look out at miles of towering conifers, golden grasses, and twisting branches draped in Spanish moss. Inside, “Nirvana” is an energetic, modern property – an entertainer’s paradise with amusements in every room. A red pool table welcomes you upon entering, and it’s natural to imagine this space alive and pulsating with the movement and conversation of your friends. At night, while the stars shine brilliantly over the Santa Lucia Mountains and some members of your group are still talking quietly by the outdoor fire pit, others decide to let the party continue inside. Turn on both Smart TVs – one in the main living room, and one mounted on the wall above the pool table – choose your preferred board game, mix your favorite drink, and laugh the night away in this warm, open concept space. Beyond the pool table, a wall of sliding glass windows lends an outdoor backdrop to the living room, in which a massive sectional sofa and plush reclining chairs encircle a fireplace and TV. Adjacent to this space, an elegant dining table gives way to a spacious gourmet kitchen featuring granite countertops and state-of-the-art appliances. Retire to one of four (4) deluxe bedrooms – two on the main level, and two downstairs. The primary suite is on the main level and, along with the two downstairs bedrooms, enjoys direct deck access. Wake up clad in buttery soft linens as the light plays across your king-size bed. Take a step into the fresh woodsy air, relishing a few private moments in the early morning sunlight and dreaming up endless possibilities for the day in front of you. Take a leisurely stroll into downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea for your daily coffee, or enjoy a light jog along Carmel Beach. Later, indulge in a treatment at The Spa at Pebble Beach, or hike one of the scenic trails at Point Lobos. Accessing Monterey, Pacific Grove, Carmel Valley, Big Sur, Pebble Beach, or Carmel is easy when you’re based at “Nirvana.” And when you’ve finished your explorations for the day, come back and behold exquisite canyon views from almost every room at this 2800 square foot property. Bask in the natural light streaming in through floor-to-ceiling windows and skylights, and pour a glass of wine to savor as you gaze out into eternity. You have found your “Nirvana.”brbrbrbrThe updated kitchen features granite countertops, state of the art gas oven and range and large refrigerator. The kitchen is fully stocked with complete dinnerware, serving ware, utensils and all the appliances needed to entertain guests an elegant dinner. A sumptuous Master Suite is located on the main level, complimented with a King Bed, two (2) large closets and large sliding doors that open to the expansive upper deck. The deck provides guests with panoramic views of Hatton Canyon and the Santa Lucia mountains. Also on the main level, a second bedroom with a King Bed that may be converted into two twins and an additional full bath. The homes lower level also provides a separate entrance, and offers guests two (2) bedrooms with one full bath, an additional living area, large laundry room and second wrap around deck! The lower level bedrooms are accoutered with a Queen bed in one room and a King Bed that may be converted into two Twins in the other. Sleeps up to eight (8) adults + two (2) additional children.

Sea of Tranquility: Iconic Glass House in Forest Glade 3BR2BA 30Night min

Carmel, California, United States

Summary:brWelcome to the Carmel Sea of TranquilitybrbrHere is a special home. Once upon a time, Joan Baez and Bob Dylan gave private concerts for their intimate friends in the downstairs living room. Entranced by profound lyrics and haunting melodies, guest gazed through towering glass windows as the tranquil forest whispered back to them. The same mythical forest will envelop your loved ones in its tranquility and quietude during your stay.brbrThis exclusive residence requires a 30-night minimum staybrbrThe Space:brAt this mid-century modern masterpiece designed by famed architect Marcel Sedletzky, “Carmel Sea of Tranquility” sits in a Sea of Tranquility on 1.3 acres of secluded hillside. It exists in total, beautiful harmony with the oak trees that surround it. In the afternoon, sunlight filters through winding, coiled branches, bespeckling the fallen leaves, the walkways, and the expansive private decks. At night, the trees will appear as shadowy silhouettes in moonlight and, no matter the hour, you’ll hear absolutely nothing except the sensual music of nature – the tiny footfall of a bird, the gentle trickle of rain on crackling leaves, the snap of a twig somewhere in the distance, whistling winds. Otherwise: utter stillness of a kind so rarely experienced in our modern world.brTo envision “Carmel Sea of Tranquility” accurately, one must almost picture a glass house. To describe only its “floor-to-ceiling windows” seems entirely inadequate in light of the fact that the windows – multiple tempered windows comprising numerous walls – really stretch from the floor of the downstairs level all the way up to the pitched redwood ceiling of the main level. Naturally, the light here is exquisite.brStanding in the kitchen – an open space with light wood cabinetry, white countertops, and stainless-steel appliances – you’ll be treated to views of the wooded canyon. Enjoying a meal at the dining room table, you’ll glimpse birds playing in the trees overhead. And downstairs, gathered around a custom fireplace in the same post-adobe style living room where, decades ago, two legends found peace and solace in the company of their friends, you’ll make your own new memories.brSlide open the glass door and step onto a wraparound deck – one of several gorgeous decks at “Carmel Sea of Tranquility” – and experience the forest as one might experience the cinema. This deck has a small label on it that reads, “Meditation Spot.” Indeed, it is clear that this home was built as a place of rest and of reverence – a place of deep connection to nature, and to each other. It’s modern, yet intensely earthy.brSedletzky himself built the hand-sewn redwood walls that feature in most rooms of “Carmel Sea of Tranquility.” On the main level, find three (3) relaxing bedrooms and two (2) full bathrooms, one of which has a stone shower. The downstairs living room, accessed by cantilevered floating stairs, is almost entirely visible from the main level, enhancing the grandeur of the windows – and the views.brIf you can bear to tear yourself away from this brilliant masterwork of a home, you’ll find that, despite the sense of welcome remoteness you feel at “Carmel Sea of Tranquility,” you’re only minutes away from the conveniences of Carmel Rancho, the charms of downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea, and the Pacific Ocean. Easily access the wineries in Carmel Valley, the scenic hiking trails in Big Sur, or the iconic landmarks that line 17-Mile Drive in Pebble Beach.brbrGuest Access:brWe're sorry, you may not bring your adorable pets to this home. This includes service animals as the owners are highly allergic to animals. Anyone found bringing animals into the home will incur an additional $10,000 fee for the stringent cleaning required to make the home habitable again for the property owners.brbrThe Neighborhood:brCoast Estate invites you to experience the beautiful Monterey Peninsula and California Central Coast. The are is world renown for spectacular coastlines, unique coastal communities, and rich marine life. Coast Estate specializes in Luxury Vacation Rentals in Big Sur, Carmel, Carmel Highlands, Carmel Valley, Pacific Grove, Pebble Beach, Monterey and Seaside. br brThe village of Carmel-by-the-Sea charms visitors with forested streets and the old English inspired architecture of Hugh Comstock that looks as if it would be at home in the pages of a Fairy Tale. Carmel City Beach is famous for its beautiful white-sand, dog-friendly beach and surfing. The performing arts are alive and well, with concerts and plays at the Golden Bough Theatre, Sunset Center and outdoor Forest Theatre. Dare we mention the hundreds of shops, art galleries and restaurants The historic Carmel Mission offers daily tours. Point Lobos State Park, offers miles of hiking trails. It’s rich underwater habitat is often referred to as the crown jewel of the State Park system. br brShould you travel twelve miles inland on Carmel Valley Road, you will arrive at the charming, provincial Carmel Valley Village. The sun always shines here, and Carmel Valley Village is home to a handful of excellent bistro-style restaurants that offer outdoor dining. A dozen or so local winery tasting rooms are clustered here within walking distance of each other. Garland Ranch Regional Park offers dozens of miles of dog friendly hiking and equestrian trails.brbrOther Things to Note:brYour hosts have provided the services of Carmel Coast Estate, Inc a locally owned and operated full service Real Estate and Property Management company. Your Property Managers are available by cellular phone, text messaging and email during your visit. br brHere at Carmel Coast Estate, we take every measure to ensure the cleanliness of our fully furnished homes.
