“Vino del Sol” – San Carlos Agency, Inc. welcomes you to enjoy the sunny, blissful Valley lifestyle at this private vineyard estate in the heart of Carmel Valley wine country. Nestled between the acres of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes from Bernardus Winery, this property has captivating views of the Santa Lucia mountain range and features art from local renowned abstract artist Patricia Qualls. Neighboring the award-winning Bernardus Lodge & Spa resort, a stay at this well-appointed home facilitates easy access to dining at Lucia Restaurant and spa services at The Spa at Bernardus (reservations are recommended for these local favorites and destination-worthy amenities) via the Bernardus vineyard and Rose Garden. This thoughtfully manicured and tastefully finished property offers incredible indoor/outdoor living spaces including a small heated lap pool, outdoor fireplace and inviting outdoor patio. The spacious 3 bedroom (King, Queen, Triple Bunk with Double, Double, and Twin), 2.5 bath fully furnished home with additional office was built by Bernardus “Ben” Marinus Pon himself and enjoyed as his second home. With a striking architectural design, the structure is a modern work of art offering traditional comfort. Built like his world class resort for its west-facing exposure, the home’s numerous windows and glass doors capture a bounty of natural light. Enter the home into a bright, open living room with double-sided gas fireplace, heated wood floors, wall mounted large screen TV, and comfortable conversational area. Adjacent to the living room is the dining area with seating for 6 and professional grade kitchen complete with luxury wine refrigerator, gas range, microwave, dishwasher, disposal, and island. Just south of the kitchen lies the spacious primary suite with en-suite bathroom (walk-in rain shower) with steam/sauna room, heated floors, his/her sinks, separate outdoor shower, and ample closet space. Adjacent to the primary suite is a light, airy guest bedroom with triple bunk bed - perfect for families! The office and guest wing is at the other end of the property and also features an en-suite bathroom with heated floors (tub/shower) and half-bath off the formal entry. Carmel Valley Village is located just two miles down the road, featuring over 20 tasting rooms, art galleries and restaurants, and the world famous Weather Tech Raceway Laguna Seca is a short seven miles over the Los Laureles Grade. It’s no wonder why Ben Pon, a six time Porsche Le Mans driver and wine enthusiast, built his “home away from home” on this property. Come enjoy Carmel Valley and walk in his historical footsteps! Parking is available in the two car attached garage, as well as in the extensive driveway. Washer/Dryer in laundry area off the master bedroom. Central air conditioning. No smoking. Pet negotiable.
