Nestled between Carmel and Point Lobos, at the gateway to Big Sur, Ribera Road is one of the most desirable areas on the Calfiornia coast. Blissfully empty beaches and hiking trails abound—yet you're just minutes away from restaurants, shops, spas, and golf. Here, an elevator in the garage delivers you to the formal living room, kitchen, dining nook and family room. Two balconies (one with a firepit) invite you to enjoy forever views of the Santa Lucia mountains. Three bedrooms and three baths are a half-flight up from the entry. Two master suites (one King and one Queen) have en suite baths with showers; a third guestroom has a Twin bed and a desk (there's a full bath with shower across the hall). French doors in all three bedrooms open to a protected back patio with a dining table, loungers, and a barbecue. Access to the coastal trail and the beach (via stairs) is at the end of Ribera Road.
