About this home
A full offering memorandum is available upon request | An Elevated, Private Estate Just Beyond Silicon Valley, Overlooking the Entire Monterey Bay
There are properties that offer views.
And then there are properties that offer distance, escape from the noise, the fast pace, away from expectation. Private conversations up here won't be overheard in the valley below.
Set across ±15.5 acres along the Santa Cruz Mountains ridgeline above California’s Central Coast, Summit Road Retreat is a rare position between Silicon Valley and the Pacific, close enough for access, yet entirely removed in experience. Designed for retreat or expansion, you won't want to leave.
A Different Kind of Proximity
Within roughly an hour of Palo Alto, the broader Silicon Valley corridor, and the towns of Carmel and Monterey, Summit Retreat offers something unique that will feel far greater than the distance traveled.
This is not Napa. Not Aspen. Not a scene.
This was built for one who preferred privacy without performance.
The Residence
The ±2500sf main home features spaces designed to showcase the ocean views from all living spaces.
Natural materials, peace and quiet, and expansive vantage points define this home and property. Living areas extend onto generous decking and down to the gardens, pools, and spa.
A large Primary Suite offers ocean views and spa bath with a sauna and steam shower for two. Imagine stepping out of the steam and onto the balcony for the chef's kiss - fresh mountain air and a huge ocean view! The spa's in the valley could never. Two additional bedrooms, one en-suite, both open to the promenade overlooking waterfalls, the pools, spa, and bar-b-que bar.
The ±2500sf basement is a full walk-out space that's not your standard basement. It's double-door exterior entry is just steps away from the beach-entry pool patio, and inside, grand 12' ceilings (permitted), and massive unconditioned floor space ready for you to turn into something unmatched. See images for conceptual mockups. And yes, there are ocean views from the basement patio, too.
The Grounds
Usable, away from the road, and increasingly rare at this scale with ocean-facing orientation, the property supports a lifestyle that extends well beyond the residence.
The Summit Retreat boasts resort-style pools, spa, bar-b-que bar, and outdoor entertaining areas that were beautifully integrated into the terrain rather than imposed upon it. Sit poolside or float atop the sparkling water while simultaneously gazing out to the ocean beyond - it's been described as spiritual. Picnic under your own redwood grove. Waste your days away in the huge veggie beds - also with gigantic ocean views.
Additional open acreage was pre-developed for a 1200sf Guest House with 400sf loft. Other potential uses include horses, vertiport, helipad, dirt-bike trails, golf course, or other!
Infrastructure & Optionality
Beneath its beauty is a level of preparedness not often found in properties of this kind.
Existing infrastructure includes rare, robust power capacity for heavy demands, private well water system, pre-development considerations, private security room, security systems, and solar power.
Whether envisioned as a multi-structure compound, a legacy retreat, or a forward-looking property accommodating emerging forms of personal mobility, the groundwork has already been laid.
