Timeless and serene, this expansive ranch property along the banks of the Carmel River seamlessly connects to the surrounding landscape and adjacent vineyard through open views, uncluttered spaces, and a regionally appropriate material palette of concrete, gravel, and stone. Sweeps of drought-tolerant native grasses reflect the golden hills beyond, while broad swaths of lavender and native groundcovers introduce subtle moments of contrasting color and texture. The landscape is open and simplistically mesmerizing, wild yet purposeful, offering a sense of spaciousness that is both comfortable and deeply liveable.
