This week’s property pick is a rare thirty-acre offering along Carmel Valley Road, just a ten-minute drive to Carmel-by-the-Sea. Situated in a gated neighborhood across from All Saint’s Day school, this estate has the perfect combination of Valley sun and Carmel convenience. The property features a rustic main house, a barn with horse stalls and guest quarters, an eight-car garage, one acre of Pinot Noir vines, an elaborate in-ground smoker and a wine cellar complete with that old oak barrel smell! There is also an old chicken coup that is just beckoning to be restored! The buyer for this property will most likely renovate or even tear down the existing structure to create a modern farmhouse that takes full advantage of the vineyard and valley views, and will maybe even add a pool. This is a property for the upscale farmer with vision!
