Description

Commanding breathtaking views of the coastline stretching from Point Lobos to sunsets across the vast Pacific Ocean, this captivating, private 14-acre estate in the picturesque Carmel Highlands is surrounded by a peaceful forested landscape, where it has long served as a source of inspiration for Grammy-Award winning composer Alan Silvestri, whose work includes iconic scores for Romancing the Stone, Back to the Future, Forrest Gump, Night at the Museum and The Avengers. The centerpiece of the property is a beautifully reimagined Craftsman-style main residence, distinguished by its unique architectural character and exquisite craftsmanship.

The estate also features three distinct guesthouses, each with its own story to tell.
