Carmel Valley

Just east of Carmel and beyond the “fog line” is Carmel Valley, a sun-soaked region nestled between lush green mountains. Ranch-style homes, vineyards, working ranches, horse properties, country clubs, and luxury Carmel, CA real estate are enhanced by the accessibility of numerous golf courses and wineries. The Mid-Valley Shopping Center and the Carmel Valley Village, with an assortment of quaint restaurants and shops, provide Valley residents with both essential and unique shopping needs.

 

The picturesque Carmel River flows through the base of the Valley and alongside many Carmel Valley homes. Expansive Garland Ranch Regional Park straddles the river, stretching up into the nearby mountains. The Santa Lucia Preserve, Tehama, a project developed by Clint Eastwood, offers spectacular home sites where owners have built exceptional custom homes and houses.
