5165 Carmel Valley Rd, Carmel, CA 93923

Just 1.5 miles down Carmel Valley Road lies a rare hilltop offering 18.3 acres of unspoiled beauty and rich local heritage. Once part of the historic Hatton family holdings, this is the final remaining parcel of a legacy that began in the late 19th century and once spanned over 10,000 acres at the mouth of the valley. Set atop the property, a charming 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom home built in 1957 offers ocean views and timeless appeal. Thoughtfully updated for modern comfort, the residence retains its original hardwood floors and features stylish finishes, a cozy wood-burning fireplace, and a spacious deck that invites seamless indoor-outdoor living. A meadow graces the base of the property along Carmel Valley Road, while the home itself is tucked behind a gated entrance shared with only two other residences, ensuring both privacy and exclusivity. This is a truly unique opportunity to own a piece of Carmels past and create your future in one of the regions most sought-after settings.
