Land for Sale in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California

The closest buildable homesite to the heart of Santa Lucia Preserve where morning coffee at The Nest, a ride at the Equestrian Center, a workout at the Fitness Center, and a dip in the pool are all an easy stroll from your front door. This 6.14 acre parcel greets you through a canopy of majestic oaks that frame a dramatic, estate-worthy arrival. Beyond, the land opens to reveal sweeping views of Penon Peak, a vista that shifts with the light from dawn's soft gold to evening's amber glow. Conceptual architectural plans envision a refined ranch house with two primary suites, thoughtfully positioned to capture panoramic mountain views from the main living spaces. Every detail honors the Preserve's legacy of architecturally significant homes tucked quietly into an extraordinary 20,000-acre landscape. With 18,000 acres held in permanent conservation, this is a rare chance to build within immediate reach of world-class dining, a Tom Fazio golf course, sporting courts, Moore's Lake, and over 100 miles of private trails yet feel a world apart. Only one lot offers this kind of proximity to everything that makes the Preserve unlike anywhere else on earth.
