3205 Ballantrae, Pebble Beach, CA 93953

Description

Cantilevered balconies extend over a canopy of cypress trees, revealing unbroken views of Point Lobos. The sea appears as an infinite sheet of white light, the sun's rays refracting through a fine mist at the water's edge. A French chateau on a private street with only four homes, this Pebble Beach residence spans nearly three acres, connecting Ballantrae to the lower gate of 17 Mile Drive. A castle-tower guest house feels transported from a storybook, while each room of the main house reflects genuine Old World sensibility. In the kitchen, exposed dark wood ceiling beams and Saltillo terracotta flooring frame ivory cabinetry, premium appliances, and a La Cornue range. In the dining room, diamond-paned windows with beveled glass cast shimmering waves of light across the table. Once dinner guests disperse and the entire house bathes in a warm amber glow, retreat to an intimate living room where bookcases house cherished volumes behind wire-mesh cabinets flanking a flickering fireplace. After nightfall, on your way to a moonlit soak in the outdoor hot tub, pass through a solarium where classical columns surround an ancient rust-hued rock. Breathing in its earthy scent while the ocean roars endlessly below, you'll smile to yourself at this special symphony of landscape and artistry.
