About this property

Carmel Nirvana: Close to Shops Restaurants Golf Beach

Summary:
Carmel Nirvana is private with great canyon views, close to World Class Golf, Shopping, Restaurants, and Spas. Walking distance to Carmel- by the -Sea. Less them 1.5 miles walking to Carmel Beach. Beautifully updated home, lots of outdoor space to enjoy beautiful canyon. This roomy 2800 square foot is located on a wooded hillside overlooking Carmel’s Hatton Canyon. This four (4) bedroom home with three (3) full baths has been modernized from top to bottom. Visitors are invited and welcomed in by the spacious open floor plan. With high vaulted ceilings, skylights and floor to ceiling windows provide an abundance of light and exquisite forest views throughout the house.

The Space:
Welcome to “Nirvana.”

Those seeking bliss in Carmel-by-the-Sea will find it here at “Nirvana,” a spacious and tranquil property that encourages private communion with the great outdoors and quality time shared with loved ones. This home is only 1.5 miles from Carmel Beach – well within easy reach of your favorite downtown restaurants, tasting rooms, and designer boutiques – yet it sits far back from the street on an oversized hillside lot, so there’s nothing to detract from the dreamlike sense of sun-dappled stillness and remoteness that suffuses the special atmosphere. Enter “Nirvana” via a descending driveway, and listen to bubbling fountains and soft breezes playing in the mature oak trees overhead. Sunlight filters through the leaves, gleaming on the surface of the hot tub’s soothing waters. Imagine the cool evenings you’ll spend here, studying the changing colors of each sweet pea sunset, talking with your companions, and watching other members of your group play at the basketball hoop. Take a meandering path down the sloped hill on the property. Carmel’s Hatton Canyon unfolds immediately before you. Breathe in the scent of forest, and watch Red-tailed Hawks circling in the afternoon sky. Continue your reverie on one of two wraparound decks – one on the lower level, and one on the upper level – where you’ll encounter dramatic canyon and mountain vistas around every turn. You’ll feel like you’re in a treehouse as you lean against the wooden railing and look out at miles of towering conifers, golden grasses, and twisting branches draped in Spanish moss. Inside, “Nirvana” is an energetic, modern property – an entertainer’s paradise with amusements in every room. A red pool table welcomes you upon entering, and it’s natural to imagine this space alive and pulsating with the movement and conversation of your friends. At night, while the stars shine brilliantly over the Santa Lucia Mountains and some members of your group are still talking quietly by the outdoor fire pit, others decide to let the party continue inside. Turn on both Smart TVs – one in the main living room, and one mounted on the wall above the pool table – choose your preferred board game, mix your favorite drink, and laugh the night away in this warm, open concept space. Beyond the pool table, a wall of sliding glass windows lends an outdoor backdrop to the living room, in which a massive sectional sofa and plush reclining chairs encircle a fireplace and TV. Adjacent to this space, an elegant dining table gives way to a spacious gourmet kitchen featuring granite countertops and state-of-the-art appliances. Retire to one of four (4) deluxe bedrooms – two on the main level, and two downstairs. The primary suite is on the main level and, along with the two downstairs bedrooms, enjoys direct deck access. Wake up clad in buttery soft linens as the light plays across your king-size bed. Take a step into the fresh woodsy air, relishing a few private moments in the early morning sunlight and dreaming up endless possibilities for the day in front of you. Take a leisurely stroll into downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea for your daily coffee, or enjoy a light jog along Carmel Beach. Later, indulge in a treatment at The Spa at Pebble Beach, or hike one of the scenic trails at Point Lobos. Accessing Monterey, Pacific Grove, Carmel Valley, Big Sur, Pebble Beach, or Carmel is easy when you’re based at “Nirvana.” And when you’ve finished your explorations for the day, come back and behold exquisite canyon views from almost every room at this 2800 square foot property. Bask in the natural light streaming in through floor-to-ceiling windows and skylights, and pour a glass of wine to savor as you gaze out into eternity. You have found your “Nirvana.”

The updated kitchen features granite countertops, state of the art gas oven and range and large refrigerator. The kitchen is fully stocked with complete dinnerware, serving ware, utensils and all the appliances needed to entertain guests an elegant dinner. A sumptuous Master Suite is located on the main level, complimented with a King Bed, two (2) large closets and large sliding doors that open to the expansive upper deck. The deck provides guests with panoramic views of Hatton Canyon and the Santa Lucia mountains. Also on the main level, a second bedroom with a King Bed that may be converted into two twins and an additional full bath. The homes lower level also provides a separate entrance, and offers guests two (2) bedrooms with one full bath, an additional living area, large laundry room and second wrap around deck! The lower level bedrooms are accoutered with a Queen bed in one room and a King Bed that may be converted into two Twins in the other. Sleeps up to eight (8) adults + two (2) additional children. Walking distance to Carmel by the Sea, with an uphill on the return. Entire house

Wonderful multi-generational trip
Took both sets of grandparents for a weekend to Carmel with our teens. Used the first floor for the elderly and had our family in the downstairs rooms. We all loved the spaciousness of the home with extra common areas throughout. The neighborhood was great for walking our dogs, and the home is set against a beautiful back drop. Loved the views. Pool table was a plus. Would definitely return.

Great place to stay!
This location is perfect! It’s close enough to everything but secluded enough to be quiet and private. The house was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. There was a lot to keep us occupied while at the house when we weren’t venturing out. Highly recommend and would stay here again.

Conveniently located, very comfortable, would stay again
We had two adults and 4 seniors. House was comfortable and the location was prime. We've been to the Monterey/Carmel area before and stayed in the wharf area (which was nice) but this place was better. Fairly large house and easy access to everything id you have a car or can call an Uber. Mornings and evenings on the deck were great. But the house is clean and well kept.

Great getaway weekend
The house was perfect for our family gathering. There were six adults and plenty of room for everyone. The location was perfect for our needs - the town, hiking and beach access were all within minutes of the house. The kitchen was great to work in and the pool table was a huge hit!

Convenient for Marathon Runner
This place was just what we wanted and needed it to be! Very convenient location for Big Sur Marathon participant as it’s less than 2 miles to finish line! Was large enough to accommodate 5 adults and 2 small children and was extremely comfortable and clean! Marathon Runner especially enjoyed hot tub before and after the race! Everyone enjoyed the fire pit on back porch that overlooked a beautiful wooded valley view! Marco ( the property manager) is very efficient and went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed.

Spring break with family
The place was even better than expected! Kids loved the pool table and having their own room. Easy enough for grandparents to get around with first floor bedroom. Kitchen was best stocked I’ve ever had in a rental. Parking was easy and was able to walk into downtown for some exercise. Would be a great value for any family vacation. Only thing was having to stop off for keys. Most rentals I’ve had used key pad to avoid this, but not a dealbreaker.

Our family of 6 stayed at this beautiful property for Thanksgiving week; the house was perfect! Open layout allowed for plenty of space to gather, and the kitchen was VERY well appointed to make a full Thanksgiving dinner. A small note that walking into the village is not quite as easy as we hoped, you have to cross over Rt 1, but overall we would happily recommend this beautiful home.

Great property and location to town!
We loved our stay in Carmel! The house was wonderful and had (nearly) everything you need. The only thing we found we needed was fans in the rooms. So much so we bought 4 fans, one for each room to make the stay more enjoyable. We left them there in closets for future guests. You’re welcome. ;-) Carmel was a wonderful little town. Ensure you plan plenty of time for just walking around. The pool table and games provided offered plenty of fun for the group while at house. We’ll be back!
