Set between the dramatic Carmel coastline and the Santa Lucia Mountains lies a private retreat in perfect balance with land and sea. Stone steps lead to this five-bedroom, six-bathroom contemporary coastal chalet, where a tiled foyer and vaulted, beamed ceilings create an immediate sense of grandeur. At its heart, a living room with a stone fireplace and soaring ceilings is bathed in light from expansive windows and skylights, offering stunning views from Yankee Point to Big Sur. The chef's kitchen features custom cabinetry, a spacious island, and a breakfast bar, flowing seamlessly into the dining room, bar, and outdoor BBQ space. The primary suite is a luxurious retreat with ocean views, a wood-burning fireplace, terrace access, and a spa-like bath with a walk-in closet. Four additional bedrooms offer comfort for family and guests. Outside, enjoy a pool, hot tub, pizza oven, grill, and firepit terrace surrounded by beautifully landscaped grounds. Additional highlights include a home theater, sauna, wine cellar, dual offices, and a private guest suite with its own entrance and full amenities. This rare estate in Victorine Ranch offers timeless beauty, privacy, and a legacy of luxury just minutes from downtown Carmel.
