Featured on the Discovery Channel program, "Ultimate Homes - Great Escapes," the Hacienda is Indisputably one of the most unique and beautiful properties on the Monterey Peninsula, This home was built over an eleven year period of time by an intrepid world traveler and antiquities dealer. Situated on a hilltop of 23 acres overlooking Carmel and Pebble Beach, the 6500 sq. ft. palatial home is surrounded by terraced gardens and patios, studded with antiquities from exotic places. Here is a bit of paradise on Jack’s Peak that is one mile from Highway One and the gate to Pebble Beach, or a mere five-minute drive to Carmel and Monterey. A lifetime of collecting is evident in the construction of this home, which incorporates magnificent carvings and statuary. It is a magical place, Indeed, most say it is sacred space. There is a large teepee in the rear of the property with a medicine wheel and native sweat lodge. Although luxurious to be sure, it is a comfortable, warm, inviting space. The beautifully appointed gourmet kitchen can accommodate anything from a small family to a professional chef for catering. It also has a computer (24”screen) that operates the Sonos sound system, carrying your favorite music on great speakers to any desired common areas of the house. You can also use the computer, of course, to access your email and the internet. Wifi is available throughout the Hacienda. Fires in the outdoor pits on the terraces are a favorite of our guests, as well as in the two indoor fireplaces. The glow of the fires is a trademark of this home. Fog is no deterrent to a good time at the Hacienda. Wood is plentiful. This is a family home of people who enjoy entertaining and it was designed to accommodate company while affording privacy if desired. It was completed and occupied in 2006 and the fixtures are modern and of the highest quality, though embedded in items of antiquity. The beds are wonderfully furnished with pillows and feathered duvets. The luxurious bathrooms come with EO shampoos, bath appointments, fluffy white towels. The atmosphere that we cultivate is that of a culturally very interesting environment, but also very relaxed. People have great fun here, and that is what we promote. There are two other small homes on the estate in secluded places that are occupied by caretakers. Sleeping Quarters: The master suite east wing occupies two floors, with its own intimate living area and fireplace on the main floor, and a winding staircase to the upstairs bedroom/bath area. The bedroom has a king size bed, and a bathroom with a luxurious tub for two, a shower, toilet and bidet. There two balconies with seating, where guests can enjoy the sunrise on the east overlooking the pines, or the sunset on the west and Point Lobos. The guest wing on the west side of the Hacienda has two bedrooms with queen beds and ensuite bathrooms. Both access balconies with views of Point Lobos and Carmel. The main floor has an additional large bedroom with a Chinese canopy king size bed and a Chinese canopy twin bed. A half bath is nearby. The family has used this room to house children. The comfortable and roomy media room/ den, with a wide screen television, has a leather sofa bed that opens with a queen mattress. Here is the place to accommodate any late night television/movie buffs. A half bath is just a few steps away. Near the spa downstairs, with a separate entrance, is the Spa Retreat Studio, a very private suite with two rooms featuring a king size bed, a lounging area and library, plus a full bath. It also has a trundle bed that can sleep two children. Other amenities: Outdoor Spa. The hot tub is stainless steel. It is available at all times. The wood-fired sauna will heat in about 20-30 minutes with just a few sticks of firewood. Once experienced, we think you will agree that wood-fired heat is bliss! Adjoining is a wonderful outdoor shower. Guests occupying a room without ensuite bath may choose to have an early morning “tub” and shower in the spa area. There is also an adjacent toilet and sink. There are three herbal bath tubs, again heated with wood fires. Choose your herbs – lavender, rosemary, mint, roses, etc. They all are found in the terraced gardens of the property. The large Outdoor Kitchen is has a pagoda roof covering a full barbecue, a wood-fired Mugnaini Pizza Oven, and a sink with hot and cold running water. Also on the patio is a large “Horno” (adobe) oven. Choose your method for roasting your turkey, prime rib or leg of lamb – there are several! On the lower south terraces are ponds with a fountain, but the best part of the ponds is the sound of the frogs - an amazing summertime soothing symphony that may remind you of experiences in the deep south. Please note that we do not rent the home for weddings or commercial parties. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub - Massage - Sauna ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car required - Wheelchair-accessible parking and van parking available ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Breakfast available for a fee - Chef service - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 5 private bathrooms - Bathtub - Bathtub or shower - Bidet - Hair dryer - Outdoor shower - Shampoo - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Library - Stereo - TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Terrace ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Computer monitor - Desk ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - Up to 23 kg per pet ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - 20 accessible parking spaces - Area rugs in public areas - Handrails in stairways - No lift - Smooth flooring in public areas - Visual alarms in hallways - Well-lit path to entrance - Wheelchair-accessible parking - Wheelchair-accessible path of travel - Wheelchair-accessible van parking - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near the sea ### Things to do - Golf - Basketball nearby - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Hunting nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkelling nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Whale watching nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 6,500 square feet ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 3:00 PM Contactless check-in and check-out are available Minimum check-in age - 30 ### Check-out Check-out before 11:00 AM Contactless check-out ### Special check-in instructions An adult aged 18 or older must assume all liability for the booking You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Check-out instructions The host requires you to complete the following before checking out: Take out the rubbish Turn off the lights Most importantly turn off all lights and thermostats Failure to complete these may result in a negative review from the host. ### Pets Pets are allowed Service animals are welcome, and are exempt from fees Welcoming dogs only 2 total (up to 23 kg per pet) ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know This property is managed by a private host (a party not acting within their trade, business or profession).
