Perched high on the cliffs overlooking Wildcat Cove, nestled in next to the Tickle Pink Inn and the Highlands Inn, you will find the 1919 old world European style estate known to its owners simply as Stonewater. And what a perfect name it is with a myriad of stone walls and walkways married to the mesmerizing whitewater views of the jagged Carmel Highland coastline. It is no wonder the creative mind of famed local artist John OShea called Stonewater home before building his own estate close by. Stonewater has over 4000 sq of living space and is perched on over half an acre. This estate is hardly a small Carmel-by-the-Sea cottage! With a total of 6 bedrooms, 6 baths, 3 kitchens, and 7 fireplaces, it gives one a peek back into the life of the well to do in the early to middle 1900s. The main level offers a large living room, a formal dining room, a study, main kitchen, a pantry, a master suite and a bedroom and bath, making it an easy home to live in full time. In addition, it has a small bedroom and bath upstairs, a caretakers suite with a bathroom and kitchen downstairs, a detached guest suite with a bathroom and kitchen, a bunk room for the kids and a wine cellar. It has something for everyone with each room having its own unique feel and character. The storybook .57 acre lot is incredible with peeks to the jagged coast from all sorts of angles. Canopied in live Oaks and Monterey Pines, there are stone covered paths and walls meandering through out the property to several different patios, terraces, picnic areas with stone chairs and tables, an outdoor fireplace and even a swing. The grounds are well manicured and covered in ivy as well as various plant life including a small vineyard! If you look closely, you will be treated to special carvings in the stonework including a heart, faces, gargoyles and even a giant frog waiting to get kissed so it can turn into a prince! You will never get tired of relaxing outdoors at Stonewater.
