About this property

Time Honored Adobe Home - Sweeping Ocean View.

Majestically situated on Point Lobos Ridge, this home offers the most incredible white-water and ocean views of Carmel and Pebble Beach imaginable. The home is positioned to take advantage of the natural wonders of the central coast. Experience being perched high above the fog most days. Sunrises and Sunsets are 360 degrees and Carmel Village lights up the night below as the fog thread’s it’s way through the Valley. Thousands of acres of California State Parks open space surround the property, with oceanfront hiking at Point Lobos State Park at the entrance to the road leading to the property. Vast open space precludes distraction, creating an abundance of stars and planet viewing.

The Home
2 bedroom, 1 bath with shower and tub. Sleeps 6
You will walk into a time honored original Post Adobe home which was recently restored to it's original condition.

Enjoy the warm of 80 year old first growth redwood post & beam construction. Original mahogany ceiling planks provide a wonderful contrast to the open beam ceiling.

The Chef's appointed kitchen and Freestanding, original adobe fireplace can be the perfect place to add warmth and texture to your vacation stay.

An open floor plan provides plenty of room for good conversation and relaxing. The Kitchen, dining and living areas are all open as part of the great room experience.
We will do everything possible to make this a memorable experience that will endure a lifetime.

We own and operate our home in compliance with Monterey County requirements. The taxes included in the amount you paid when reserving our home are forwarded to the Monterey County Tax Collector under. Certificate No. 000613

A unique property: Private, quiet, (with a variety of singing birds) capped off with stunning 180 views of the valley and the ocean. Fog tides roll in and out in a beautiful rhythm. It is also convenient to groceries, dining out and local parks/hiking. It was clean and ready for our arrival and we enjoyed disconnecting from everyday reality. Washer and dryer work great, so you can pack light. If you are intimidated by driving on a tight road with a significant change in elevation (in almost whiteout fog), then time your visit and activities accordingly. We chose not to drive in and out after dark on the heavy fog days. If you are going to Point Lobos, go early because of limited parking - it's worth the visit. The drive to Big Sur was as amazing as always. Location, location, location...

We had a wonderful two week stay at this secluded Adobe cottage in the hills overlooking Carmel. The weather was cold at the beginning, so we enjoyed reading by the warmth of the LR fire which burned real wood amply provided. Once the clouds parted the temperatures rose into the 60s and we enjoyed morning gourmet coffee overlooking breathtaking views of mountains and sea. Lou was very responsive to our every need and his cleaning lady sweetly allowed us a grace period the day we packed up to leave. A unique & very special hideaway.

This was the most magical place to stay. The view from the property is absolutely breathtaking, the photos don’t do it justice. My partner and I came here for our anniversary and it was the perfect escape from the city. The place is extremely cozy and roomy, and it has everything you need to cook out - we made steaks on the grill and the setup outside made for a perfect sunset dinner. Location is super convenient right across from Point Lobos if you’re in for a hike, or 10-15 min to Carmel if you’re looking to go explore there. One thing I would recommend is getting there before sunset - the directions to go up to the property are easy to follow, but it’s extremely dark and windy roads. Will hopefully come back again soon, we absolutely loved our stay!
