Inside the gates of Santa Lucia Preserve, a private 20,000-acre community with a Tom Fazio-designed golf course, equestrian facilities and Ranch Club amenities, 40 Arroyo Sequoia presents something almost impossible to find: a 38.7-acre estate homesite (2.7-acre homeland) where the dream home is already designed. Renowned Carmel architect Eric Miller devoted over two years to a fully detailed design: a 3,870 sq ft residence, 977 sq ft three-car garage, 1,171 sq ft of patios and decks, and a 3,467 sq ft auto court. Construction drawings and engineering are complete and construction-ready. Preserve Design Review Board and Monterey County Combined Development Permit (PLN230310) approvals are in hand; school fees are paid. For a developer, a premier spec-home opportunity with design and approval risk already retired. For a homeowner, a fast pass to an amazing architect-designed home without years of design process. The building permit has not yet been issued: identified remaining agency fees total $26,802.82 plus several non-fee conditions, and the building application is extended through July 24, 2027. Renderings and animation available. Buyer to verify all details, approvals, and costs. Some photos have been virtually rendered.
ENJOY A SWEET CARMEL Cottage-by-the-Sea as you build this exceptionally charming Cotswold Cottage that captures the essence of the area and will be among the celebrated residences in Carmel. As it would be, the late local legend some referred to as Mr. Carmel purchased this property to build their very special Carmel home he had a picture of. He adored the original 1940's Cottage sited at the back of the property, the beautifully landscaped lot with great natural light and the north end of town location. Having his longtime friend and partner build the 3 Bed, 2 Bath and garage a must, keeping the original Cottage for an office or potential ADU. Or, enjoy the existing sweet Cottage-by-the-Sea as your Carmel residence.
