Countless amenities including chef’s kitchen, champagne bubbler tub, hot tub, seasonal saltwater pool (May-Oct), and full-property WiFi+Sonos. The Vineyard Chateau is perfect for a family or 2 couples. Nestled amongst the abundant oak trees, mountains, and granite, the Vineyard Chateau will inspire all your senses as you relax and enjoy the many features it has to offer, both inside and out. The remote country setting allows you to replace the stresses of the world with abundant space and absolute peace & quiet. Extensively remodeled in 2018, the 2,100 square foot 3-bedroom home features a large open floorpan, decadent master suite with champagne bubbler tub, large dining room with vaulted ceilings, light filled picture windows & skylights, and hardwood oak flooring throughout.

The home is comfortable year-round thanks to the climate-controlled heating & air conditioning. The Vineyard Chateau exterior features large wrap-around redwood decks, extensive landscaping & stonework, a 20’x40’ seasonal saltwater pool (May-Oct) with adjacent covered outdoor kitchen/bar & lounge, a hot tub, a creekside dining deck with overhead lighting, two tree houses (one for adults, one for kids), raised “Chef’s” garden beds, a fruit tree orchard, a working vineyard that produces artisan Merlot, and an olive orchard. We’re proud to feature 100% organic percale cotton sheets and down comforters/pillows. Combined with the property's secluded location and the lack of city light pollution, you're sure to enjoy a peaceful night's sleep.

We purchased this property in 2012 and completely renovated it over the 10 years we lived here. We did all the landscaping, including planting the 1/2-acre wine-producing Merlot vineyard. Having recently moved out of the area, we are able to share it with guests when we’re not here enjoying it ourselves! Our wonderful co-host, Kathie, resides nearby and is your point of contact while on site. We aim to be available when needed, while allowing you to enjoy the house and surrounding property in peace.

The property is located in the rural Cachagua valley amongst the many vineyards of the Carmel Valley AVA, ~25 minutes SE of the Carmel Valley Village, ~35 minutes NW of the Arroyo Seco AVA, and ~45 minutes SE of Carmel By The Sea. The wine lover will enjoy access to 25+ tasting rooms from the myriad of local wineries in nearby Carmel Valley Village. Venture out a little farther to the world famous wineries of the Arroyo Seco and Santa Lucia Highland AVAs to the East. For the outdoor enthusiast, there are a multitude of options to entertain you. The nearby Los Padres reservoir boasts several trailheads into the world-famous Ventana Wilderness, including some trails which go all the way to Big Sur! And there are several accessible swim holes along the adjacent Carmel River. Venture out a little further and enjoy a day trip to Big Sur, or a beach day in Carmel By The Sea, Pacific Grove, or Monterey. For the nature lover, look no further than the property itself. Enjoy a nature walk around the garden, a refuge for a plethora of outstanding birds — blue birds, magpies, woodpeckers, hawks, falcons — which the area is famous for. At night, you will be lulled to sleep by the chirping tree frogs and crickets! The eco tourist will appreciate the fact that the property is 100% solar powered with grid-tied battery backups, and the pool is solar heated. Enjoy your sunrise/sunset yoga sessions on the spacious decks. And, if you’re a fellow Tesla owner, we’re happy to let you utilize the Wall Connector charger while you’re on-site! Just because you’re venturing out to the country doesn’t mean you have to disconnect from it all. High speed/low latency 25 Mbps internet, full-property WiFi coverage, and a private office with spacious desk, ergonomic chair, and laser printer/scanner enable you to keep up with your work on an extended stay-cation.
