Carnoustie Manor – Pebble Beach Estates

6 Bedroom Forest Estate

Just a golf cart ride away from Pebble’s legendary courses,  this vintage estate has a pool, a sauna, 6 bedrooms, five full baths and two half baths in over 7,000 square feet.

Harkening back to the grand estates of yesteryear, the Carmoustie Manor (named after Scotland’s historic links) features original art, stained glass, chandeliers, fireplaces in almost every room, and sunset views through the pines.

The layout is perfect for larger groups: at entry level, formal living and dining rooms flank each side of the grand foyer—but there’s also a library with a wet bar, a family room with a large TV, and a great room with a sitting area and a second dining table adjoining the kitchen.

The massive kitchen features a SubZero refrigerator, a gas cooktop, and double convection ovens; the secondary kitchen has ample storage plus a microwave and dishwasher. Just past the kitchen, there’s another private office/study with a fireplace, and a bath with a cedar sauna (and convenient pool access).

This gated estate on nearly one acre is just a short drive to the all the amenities of Pebble Beach—golf, spa, shopping, and restaurants. It’s just a few miles to Carmel, and five miles from all the attractions of Monterey.

Perfect for a family reunion.


SEA SPRAY

We thought we’d seen the ultimate beach house…
and then we saw Sea Spray!

2000 sq. ft. | 4 Bedroom | 2 Bath | Sleeps 7

IMG_5559 copy

With only powdery sand dunes between you and the ocean, you’ll start relaxing the moment you step into this luxurious 2,000+ sq. ft. beachfront Mediterranean. The sounds of the surf will dissolve your cares by day and lull you to sleep at night…and wait till you see the views: on a clear day you can see the entire curve of Monterey Bay, from Moss Landing to Santa Cruz.

From the arched entry to the alabaster scones, no detail has been overlooked. The living room has a bar and comfortable seating around a gas fireplace with 55″ Smart TV above (not shown). Radiant heated, sand-colored stone floors are warm underfoot, the Mission-style furniture includes a hammered copper table that seats 8, and the custom inlaid mural in the kitchen depicting early Monterey is a spectacular piece of “art history.”

The kitchen has everything a gourmet could ask for, from a professional mixer to a coffee frother for your morning latte: granite countertops with a cream-colored travertine backsplash, burled walnut cabinetry, Viking appliances (including a four-burner gas range)—there’s even a wine cooler in the adjoining garage and whole-house water filtration.

Wall-to-wall glass (with motorized blinds) frames the ever-changing sea views in the master suite (with a King bed and a wall-mounted TV). The en suite bath features an oval Jacuzzi tub, a walk-in steam shower, two vanities topped with black glass, subway-tiled walls inlaid with iridescent stone, a separate toilet compartment, and a large closet. Three guest rooms—two with Queens and one with a twin daybed—share a second bath with a pedestal sink and a shower lined in lustrous marble.

From the sunny protected patio to the fire pit for relaxing under the stars, the living is definitely easy in this brand new beach house. Pick up fresh seafood to barbecue at Fisherman’s Wharf—or just pick up the binoculars and check out the sea life from your living room. Until it’s time for another spectacular sunset, that is.

Ocean Spray

Here’s a recipe for vacation perfection: panoramic ocean views, luxurious finishes and furnishings…
and nothing but sand dunes between you and the beach.

2400 sq. ft. | 4 Bedroom | 2 Bath | Sleeps 8

IMG_5157_25

From the moment you open the door, this is a home that elicits oohs and aahs. Inside the light-filled great room, walls of glass frame ever-changing sea views, while high ceilings and cream-colored stone floors create a feeling of spaciousness and warmth. In the kitchen, lustrous granite countertops in silver, copper and jade accent the cherry cabinetry and stainless GE Monogram appliances (built-in convection oven, microwave and warming drawer, side-by-side refrigerator, and a six-burner professional gas cooktop with griddle).

The dining room seats 8, the living room has an instant gas fireplace, a large flat screen TV, and sliding doors that lead to front and side decks (barbecue, bistro table for four, two additional seating areas, and a stand heater for chilly nights).

There are four bedrooms upstairs (twin trundle, two Queens, one King). The master suite has views of the ocean and a private bath with a jetted tub and walk-in shower. Three other bedrooms share a hall bath with a shower lined in travertine, and there’s a laundry area with a front loading washer and dryer.

A central staircase leads to the double garage and a playroom stocked with toys, a TV, a dollhouse, and a trundle bed for extra sleeping. Other features include crown molding, honeycomb Duet shades, eight televisions, a double garage, and a home security system.

Let the sounds of the surf lull you to sleep at night… and wait till you see the views: on a clear day you can see the entire curve of Monterey Bay, all the way to Santa Cruz.
