Long Ridge Trail

Carmel, California, Stati Uniti

Tucked into the rolling hills of the Santa Lucia range, this architectural work of art was carefully designed to blend into the natural landscape of this stunning parcel. St. Helena based architect Andrew Batey worked meticulously with the owners, on his last residential project, to a create a neo-classic, contemporary home inspired by French fortifications of the 17th Century. Symmetrically conceived with a prominent oak tree as the center point, the main home offers two elegant bedroom suites that each open to a terrace with stunning valley and ridge-line views. The interior is flooded with natural light from curved skylights that run along the inside of the courtyard wall. Multiple sets of French doors in the kitchen, great room and library also open onto the limestone terrace, lending to seamless indoor-outdoor living. A separate one-bedroom guest house sits atop a large wine cellar, also designed effortlessly with the hillside. Located at the eastern portion of the Santa Lucia Preserve and Ventana wilderness, this artistic home offers ultimate privacy coupled with exquisite attention to detail, hand selected finishes and exceptional views.
