High above the Prunedale valley, this 6.5-acre ridge-top estate gives you room to spread out, privacy and wide views across Monterey Bay, while staying within easy reach of the coast and Silicon Valley. The custom 3,250 sq. ft. home has 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. Inside, the great room rises to a 21.5-ft vaulted ceiling with exposed beams, and tall windows fill it with light and frame the bay. Brazilian cherry hardwood runs through the open floor plan. The kitchen has an induction stove, new oven and microwave, wine fridge and reverse osmosis water system. Two wood-burning fireplaces keep things warm on cool coastal nights. The primary suite has a walk-in closet and a spacious, luxurious en-suite bath with separate sinks, a large soaking tub and two additional closets. Just off the bath is a private spa room with access to the deck. Step out onto the expansive deck to entertain, or relax with a glass of wine while you take in the nature, wildlife and bay sunsets. Pella windows, solar panels, four Tesla Powerwalls and a whole-house water filtration system bring modern efficiency and energy independence to this hilltop setting. You'll also find plenty of room for vehicles, hobbies and storage, including a 2-car garage, additional covered parking and a workshop with extra storage.
