Perched high above the Peninsula coastline and wrapped in towering pines, Monhollan Masterpiece is a secluded coastal estate where ocean horizons, forested serenity, and refined luxury converge. Set behind gates on 20 private acres, this remarkable retreat feels worlds away—yet remains just minutes from the charm of Carmel-by-the-Sea, world-class beaches, and scenic coastal trails. From misty mornings overlooking the Pacific to golden sunsets filtering through the trees, every moment here unfolds with cinematic beauty.
Guests arrive via a winding drive through beautifully landscaped grounds, where lush gardens and mature trees set an elegant, tranquil tone.

Expansive windows invite the natural landscape indoors, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere ideal for gathering, relaxing, and entertaining.

At the heart of the home, the gourmet kitchen is perfectly suited for both casual meals and elevated entertaining, featuring Wolf ovens and range top, expansive countertops, and island seating. Direct access to the outdoor deck allows for seamless indoor-outdoor living throughout the day.
As the sun begins to set, the estate's expansive view deck becomes the centerpiece of the home. Golden light washes over the coastline and treetops as guests gather around the outdoor fireplace, relax in the spa, or unwind in plush lounge seating. Evenings continue in the covered outdoor kitchen, complete with a built-in gas grill, pizza oven, bar, and fireplace—inviting sunset dinners, long conversations, and relaxed nights beneath the stars. As darkness falls, the firelight glows softly and the forest quiets, creating an atmosphere that feels both intimate and endlessly expansive.
The main residence features four beautifully appointed king bedroom suites, each with its own en-suite bathroom, ensuring privacy and comfort for every guest. Additional highlights include a dedicated office space, ping pong table, radiant heating throughout, and expansive ocean views.
