262 Highway 1

Compelling ocean views unfold in this unique, magical Carmel Highlands home in an exceptional coastal enclave. A tapestry of trees, sea, stones, and stars, here a select curve of coastline offers an artistic, eclectic mix: modern and vintage homes dotted among gems by internationally-acclaimed architects from Charles Sumner Greene to Wallace Cunningham. On a private, rare, one-acre property on the west side of that ribbon of roadway weaving along the Big Sur coast, this is one of few located on the ocean side. Strategically sited on its elevated hillside perch, the interior is light, bright, airy. Vaulted ceilings, windows, sliding glass doors frame unobstructed ocean views. Awake to intimate views of the headlands of Point Lobos. Its granite glows in rising sun, wrapped by the sapphire blue of the sea. Waves of whitewater unfurl across satellite rocks off the mainland. Private but not isolated, 2 minutes to Pacific's Edge restaurant at Highlands Inn, 5 miles to Carmel, this refuge enjoys proximity to cultural events there and adjacent Pebble Beach. Carmel Highlands has long attracted some of the world's greatest creatives, tech types, and Hollywood A-listers seeking sublime spirit of place. This is your opportunity to join this great tradition, where nature and nurture entwine.
