59 La Rancheria

Indulge your European sensibilities with this Swiss chalet style home in Carmel Valley. A countryside retreat originally constructed in 1950 with a 1980 permitted addition, sitting on more than an acre of golden land, this is your opportunity to secure something special. From the moment you pull into the driveway, it will be delightfully clear that there is nothing "ordinary" about this property. Outside, a gable roof tops a layered, decoratively sculpted wood facade with two windows traditionally offset by flower boxes below and charming shutters on each side. Find intricately carved, whimsical details around every corner of the interior. Relax in a living room with pitched ceilings, architectural windows, and sliding glass doors that open onto a wraparound porch. Another living area with wall-to-wall windows, a fireplace, and knotty wood wall paneling sports a fabulous built-in dining table and opens into the kitchen. Discover a bonus room with vaulted ceilings off one of the living spaces -- an ideal guest wing. The property also includes a separate finished structure that could serve as another bedroom, a workspace, an artist's studio, or something else! Come walk the oak-studded grounds, and be inspired to cultivate a storybook life for yourself in a one-of-a-kind setting.
