A one-of-a-kind California resort. Two pools, huge spa, captivating ocean views, expansive usable land and a 2500±sf walkout lower level with 12' ceilings create a scale of privacy, possibility, and peace rarely found. Beyond electronic gates, a single-level home built with natural materials features soaring ceilings and a Primary Suite Spa with sauna, steam shower and ocean-view balcony. So much more than stunning views - you'll have your own private wellness retreat. Summit Road Retreat is a rare luxury home positioned 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. 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 showcases ocean views from all living spaces. Natural materials, peace, quiet, and expansive vantage points define this space. Living areas extend onto generous decking and into 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! 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 with double-door entry just steps away from the beach-entry pool patio, featuring grand 12' ceilings (permitted), this is 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 extending well beyond the residence. Boasting resort-style pools, spa, bar-b-que bar, and outdoor entertaining areas that beautifully integrated into the terrain. Sit poolside or float atop sparkling water while gazing over the bay, picnic beneath the redwoods, garden, entertain, or just disappear from the noise below. Flat acreage 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 A level of preparedness not often found. Existing infrastructure includes rare, robust power capacity for heavy demands, private well water system, pre-development for ADU, private security room, security systems, and solar power. Whether a multi-structure compound, a legacy retreat, or a forward-looking property accommodating emerging forms of personal mobility, the groundwork has already been laid.
