Stunning 5 Acre Carmel Retreat, 2 Hot Tubs, Amazing Location!

Our spacious five-bed, five-bath ranch-style home is located on five acres in the estate area of Carmel, commonly known as Jacks Peak. Although secluded and quiet, it is conveniently located between Carmel and Monterey. You will be just minutes from anywhere on the entire Monterey Peninsula, yet surrounded by majestic oak and pine trees, with a sprawling yard in which to play.

All five bedrooms have queen beds, and each bedroom has its own bathroom with a shower. The house sleeps 10 comfortably. There is ample floor space, and we have a couple of airbeds and mats to accommodate more, especially children, if needed.

Amenities include a cozy hot tub for two on a large deck off the master bedroom, with a custom-built in-ground hot tub for larger groups just a few steps away. Croquet, basketball, badminton, volleyball, bocce ball, and Frisbee equipment are all located on-site, and there is plenty of room to play. There is a large front lawn that turns green when it rains. There is also a large brick patio with tables, chairs, and a fireplace for winter use.

Both the large living room and master bedroom have fireplaces. The living room has a vintage piano, two sofas, two club chairs, a corner TV, and a stereo. The French doors in the living room open onto a welcoming, bright, brick-floor enclosed Lanai with skylights.

The dining room has a table that seats eight but will easily seat 10. French doors lead to a large backyard deck with a table for six. There is a gas grill and two propane heaters.

Off the dining room is a modest, fully stocked kitchen with a large work island and windows to the wooded backyard. There is also a kitchen nook (host to many beautiful sunrises), with a small dining table, bench, and four chairs.

Fabulous Family Get-away

We loved this beautifully appointed home that is super well stocked with everything you need. The 5 rooms all with baths was perfect for extended family of mostly adults. We loved the scenic and peaceful "resort" like setting and the two hottubs had space for everyone. Close to Carmel and Monterey but not in the fray of the touristy parking mess made this the perfect place to stay.

Wow, this home was ment to hold us over until our regular Jazz Festival house was available, but we all fell in love! From the large in ground hot tub, to the most well stock home we have ever stayed in, to the timely responses to our every question or request, to the numerous places that seven of us could gather, dine or just enjoy the serenity of the home and grounds, it surpassed every expectation! We are booking our return stay.

We had a wonderful and relaxing stay in this beautiful, charming and spacious home. It was the perfect spot for our large family attending a wedding in Monterey. The home is well appointed with an interesting vintage vibe along with all the modern comforts you would ever need. The property is truly stunning with hot tubs, decks and patios along with several acres of beautiful vistas. Great pride and care of ownership shine throughout this home and property. Thanks again and we do hope to return in the future!

Large house on beautiful and a good bit of charm

A spacious house with a nice layout and furnishings that allowed our family and friends to share but also have privacy. The house has nice outdoor spaces, we managed to eat on the deck off the dining room , in the backyard and in the front bricked area. The kitchen is a little bit old-fashioned, but it definitely is equipped, but just about everything you could dream of having in the kitchen.

We stayed at this beautiful and relaxing woodland property with our extended family to celebrate my husband’s 75th birthday. He very much enjoyed the time there. Everything from the outdoor spaces and the hot tubs to the lovely, large home were well maintained. The site was centrally located for all the activities we had planned. We found the home to be very relaxing and comfortable when we were gathered together. We also appreciated how easy it was to communicate with Susan regarding questions. It is definitely a place we would enjoy returning to.
