Perched directly on the rocky shoreline of Carmel Point, the Point Lobos Bay Sanctuary home is one of the most exclusive and architecturally significant residences in Carmel. Situated on the ocean side of famed Scenic Road, one of only three homes privileged to occupy this extraordinary oceanfront position, the property offers an unparalleled connection to the Pacific Ocean. Following a meticulous 2026 renovation, this iconic mid-century modern masterpiece seamlessly blends timeless design, luxurious finishes, and a setting that simply cannot be replicated.

From the moment you enter the home, you are greeted by breathtaking panoramic ocean views. Walls of glass frame the ever-changing seascape, while the sound of crashing waves below creates a constant reminder that you are truly living at the edge of the Pacific.

The main level has been thoughtfully designed for both elegant entertaining and relaxed coastal living. At the heart of the home is a stunning chef's kitchen featuring dramatic marble countertops, a large center island, premium appliances including a Wolf range, and direct access to an oceanfront deck perched above the rocks. Adjacent to the kitchen, the dining area and living room enjoy spectacular water views from every angle. A gas-log fireplace anchors the living space, while a unique sunken seating area brings guests even closer to the landscape, with portions of the natural rock formation incorporated directly into the home itself. A grand piano positioned beside the expansive windows provides an unforgettable setting for evening gatherings overlooking the ocean.

A beautifully appointed full bathroom on the main level showcases striking quartzite walls and countertops and can conveniently serve as a powder room for guests.

Just off the entry, a private ocean-view office offers an inspiring workspace complete with its own gas-log fireplace. Two single fold-out chair beds also make this space a potential bedroom. On the opposite wing of the home, a guest bedroom with a queen bed enjoys sweeping ocean vistas, while the spectacular primary suite occupies a private position at the end of the hall. The primary retreat features a king bed, uninterrupted ocean views, direct deck access, and a luxurious ensuite bathroom highlighted by double vanities and exquisite Norwegian Rose marble accents.

The lower level offers exceptional flexibility for families and groups. A second ocean-view living room provides a comfortable gathering space with television and lounge seating. Glass doors open directly to the exterior, creating a seamless connection to the dramatic coastal surroundings. There are two guest bedrooms downstairs, each furnished with a queen bed. One offers a direct view of Point Lobos. The other includes an adjoining lounge area with an additional fold-out queen bed and a built-in single bed, ideal for families, children, or guests seeking a private retreat.These bedrooms share a beautifully appointed bathroom featuring Italian marble finishes, double vanities, and a spacious walk-in shower.

Spanning approximately 4,377 square feet, this home offers an abundance of indoor and outdoor living spaces, allowing guests to spread out comfortably while remaining connected to the stunning natural setting.

Originally constructed in 1919 and dramatically reimagined in 1953 by renowned architect Francis W. Wynkoop, the residence stands as an important example of California mid-century modern architecture. Expansive windows, open living spaces, and a thoughtful integration of concrete, wood, glass, and native stone create a home that feels inseparable from its coastal environment. The property's architectural significance and breathtaking location inspired mention by famed Carmel poet Robinson Jeffers, reflecting its longstanding place within the region's artistic and cultural heritage.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime coastal sanctuary. Situated literally atop the rocks with the Pacific Ocean at your doorstep, guests will find themselves immersed in one of the most remarkable settings along California's coastline. Opportunities to stay in a property of this caliber are exceptionally rare, making Point Lobos Bay Sanctuary one of Carmel's most extraordinary luxury offerings.

There are luxury homes, and then there are properties that exist in a category entirely their own. Point Lobos Bay Sanctuary belongs firmly in the latter.
