Spanning 8.5 idyllic acres overlooking Point Lobos and Monastery Beach, Sea Star Ranch is a fully equipped equine property, thoughtfully designed with a round pen, paddocks, and a 10-stall barn complete with its own kitchen. Imbued with awe-inspiring natural energy, it offers a legacy of care alongside the flexibility to suit a wide range of equestrian pursuits. The setting ensures exceptional privacy while capturing sweeping, panoramic ocean views. Surrounded by hundreds of acres of protected State Park land, the property features diverse microclimates and is served by two wells for irrigation and Cal Am for domestic use. Zoned for commercial use, the property is as practical as it is serene. An undeveloped two-acre parcel offers additional expansion opportunities. At the heart of the estate, the main residence, designed in 2023 by Mary Ann Schicketanz, embraces a calm, organic aesthetic with open-concept living, abundant natural light, spa-like bathrooms, and refined wood and stone finishes. A chef's kitchen with top-tier appliances connects seamlessly to the surrounding landscape, and multiple guest rooms make it ideal for hosting. A guest house and dedicated office provide added flexibility, creating a private coastal compound just five minutes from Carmel-by-the-Sea.
