LUXURIOUS FRENCH COUNTRY ESTATE
8640 River Meadows Rd, Carmel Valley
Ideally located in the hidden gem neighborhood of River Meadows in mid Carmel-Valley, this luxurious French Country estate includes a pool, tennis/pickleball court, and ~7 flat, private acres of sunny paradise. The private, gated River Meadows community beneath Saddle Mountain includes only 8 homes, enjoying the quiet cul-de-sac. Inside, the foyer welcomes you with walnut wood floors and custom iron doors. The chef’s kitchen is a culinary haven featuring Taj Mahal quartzite countertops, a Bertazzoni gas range, a custom-designed Viking copper hood, a wine room designed by IWA Wine, and a fully equipped butler’s pantry. The great room, with its 25-foot vaulted ceilings, wood beams, and a stone fireplace, is the epitome of elegance, offering seamless indoor-outdoor living with Kolbe sliding doors. The main suite is a private retreat, complete with vaulted ceilings, a luxurious bath with Taj Mahal quartzite finishes, and a spacious custom closet with a dry bar and built-in amenities, plus a dedicated dog bedroom with custom built crates for 4 pups and a tiled doggy shower with steps and a dog clothes closet. The estate’s exterior is a harmonious blend of natural beauty and refined design, featuring meticulously manicured landscaping with redwood groves, a fruit orchard, and a rose garden. The front courtyard, adorned with a charming fountain, sets the stage for the grandeur within. A side terrace invites moments of tranquility, overlooking the lush orchard, while the resort-like patio and pool deck, anchored by olive trees and stone planter boxes, provide the perfect backdrop for entertaining. The refinished pool, complete with a sunbathing shelf, spa, and waterfall, promises endless relaxation, complemented by a retractable cover for year-round enjoyment. The detached garage could be easily converted to a guest suite or ADU. The refinished tennis court, featuring pickleball lines and a basketball hoop, was just completed in 2024, offering recreation amidst the serene landscape. An outdoor kitchen, equipped with a Fisher & Paykel BBQ Grill, Thermador hood, and a stone fireplace, caters to alfresco dining experiences. This estate is not just a home; it’s a lifestyle, offering the perfect blend of luxury, privacy, and comfort in the prestigious Carmel School District. With state-of-the-art security, sound systems, and a Generac propane generator, 8640 River Meadows Road ensures peace of mind and unparalleled elegance. Your Carmel Valley Oasis awaits.
