Situated amidst an ancient Cypress Forest and the granite coastal cliffs of the Carmel Coast, Seacliff is a once-in-a-lifetime aggregation of five contiguous lots on the famed Spindrift Road. Stretching ~5.35 acres with 1,000 + feet of private oceanfront coastline and ~19,000 sq ft of living space in a combined set of the six residences, this one-of-a-kind compound offers a variety of rare and rugged ocean vistas and private living spaces. Its “North” and “South” cottages are fully appointed two-bedroom residences with stunning great rooms situated cliffside and staring down upon petite ocean inlets and coves; while its “Writer’s” and “Forest” cottages offer a unique and cozy one-bedroom, luxury cabin experience nestled in an ancient Cypress Forest. The grand “Lodge” is an 8 bedroom, 12,441 sq ft mansion, featuring a well-curated library with a silver and gold-leaf domed ceiling depicting a mural of Johannes Kepler’s “Laws of Planetary Motion.” The center courtyard features a waterfall pool and hot tub leading into world-class health spa and fitness facilities. Outside, meandering paths weave through a variety of breathtaking oceanside gardens, numerous meditation areas, and three coastal access stairways that bring you down to the Pacific’s edge. There are over 150,000 pounds of mossy boulders, large floating flagstone steps, and multiple seaward viewing posts, anchored by the cottages’ 5 enormous, rustic moss-rock and lichen laden fireplaces, giving the property its primary bohemian insignia and making Seacliff one of the most dramatic oceanfront properties in the world.

Kim Weston, a renowned photographer living in the Highlands, and a descendent of Edward Weston, and three generations of world-class photographers knows the Seacliff Compound intimately, through his friendship with its creator, and through his lens … and he had this to say about its features. “The contemporary lines of the Lodge, its stupendous views and gardens and its sumptuous Library, combined with the wholly hand-crafted rustic elegance of the Seacliff Cottages, is in keeping with the land, the forest, the sea — and the result is absolutely arresting ! — this took an effort of gargantuan proportion.” Kim Weston, Kim Weston Studios “For me, Seacliff was like a jailbreak from the toils of commerce I had been conducting over the prior 30 years. In its creation, I became akin, once again, to the nuances of nature… and by all accounts the storied Guests who have visited this property have felt the spell that I overtly set out to place on them! In the next chapter, I move to downsize and rejoin Family in far-away places, but without hesitation, I fondly admit… that my crowning achievement will always be the uncompromising realization of Seacliff !! “ Gary Vickers, Owner-Manager “On the whole, Seacliff is perhaps the most dramatic and inspiring ocean front property I have ever listed or laid eyes on. With multiple residences, stunning architecture, and breathtaking views, it offers both privacy and luxury on a rare scale. It is also a true one-of-a-kind with a mammoth amount of intricate stonework, and a whole variety of completely original bespoke finishes and materials. These properties have been completely redone and reenvisioned from the ground up into a world-class coastal retreat, and opportunities to own something like this rarely come around twice.” Tim Allen, Tim Allen Properties Team, Coldwell Banker Realty
