Inside the gates of Carmel Valley Ranch, your new residence awaits just steps from a community pool and hot tub. Spend afternoons taking refreshing swims and lounging in the sunshine before returning to your private sanctuary, where whitewashed plank ceilings vault over warm hardwood floors, and plantation shutters filter afternoon light across a river rock fireplace in the living room. When it's time for dinner, a gourmet kitchen provides the ideal ambiance for cooking all your favorite dishes, with granite countertops, double wall ovens, and a garden window above the sink. Pour a glass of wine for your friend sitting across the breakfast bar. Each of four bedrooms, including a generous primary suite on the main level, claims its own ensuite bath, so your guests can settle in comfortably in privacy. Slate patios surround the home. From there, the rest of Carmel Valley Ranch beckons. Play a game of golf or tennis after brunch, or book a massage at Spa Aiyana. Finish your days with leisurely meals at the clubhouse while the oak-studded hills go gold around you.
