Behind the guard gate, past the lavender and the oak-studded hills, life at Carmel Valley Ranch is measured in sunshine — and lived, gracefully, all on one level whenever you please.
Set on the sunny valley floor in full view of the Santa Lucia Mountains, Carmel Valley Ranch is a secure, guard-gated community wrapped around a world-class resort. 28061 Heron Court is its quiet exception: a turnkey townhome with a rare, favored floor plan: no entry steps and a full primary suite on the main level, so the entire home can be lived on one floor — while two more suites wait upstairs. It opens on every side to private, landscaped patios made for indoor-outdoor entertaining.
Sunlight through the French doors, the fire-pit garden, the valley beyond — a short film that captures how the home actually feels.
Walls of French doors dissolve the line between rooms and gardens, so the living spaces breathe with the valley's warm, sun-soaked air.
The highly sought-after plan places a full primary bedroom suite, the kitchen, and the den all on the ground level — so you can enjoy an exceptional single-level lifestyle by choice — while a second luxurious primary suite and an adjacent third bedroom with en-suite bath await upstairs for family and guests.
A vaulted great room, a sun-filled kitchen, and gracious gathering spaces — all move-in turnkey.
A rare gift in a townhome — the freedom to live entirely downstairs, or retreat upstairs to a second suite with valley views.
Wake to soft light and hillside greenery. The ground-level primary offers everyday ease; the upstairs primary and adjacent third bedroom — each en-suite — welcome family and guests in comfort and privacy.
Carmel Valley Ranch enjoys a sunnier, more sheltered climate than the coast — and this home is built to live in it, all day and into the evening.
Off the main living space, French doors open to an intimate, hedge-framed courtyard: a wood-sided deck with room to lounge, a bistro table for two, and a tranquil stone water feature at the entry to set the morning's tempo. The perfect spot for quiet mornings or dinners in good company.
The second patio gathers around a gas fire pit, softened by ornamental grasses and flowering planter boxes, framed by oak-studded hillside views. Lounge, dine, and linger.
Many residences within Carmel Valley Ranch can only be covered under the community's blanket policy paired with an individual HO-6 interior policy — coverage that isn't always robust. This home stands apart: it can be separately insured as a single-family residence, giving its owner real control, stronger protection, and lasting peace of mind. Paired with two Tesla Powerwalls that keep the whole home running when the valley's power goes out, it's a turnkey opportunity at an exceptional value.
Ownership here is a passport to one of California's most beloved resort communities — golf, spa, trails, dining at The Lodge, and a warm, sun-soaked valley all behind a private gate.
The privileges of a full resort community, wrapped around a quiet residential enclave — and a climate that lets you enjoy all of it, nearly year-round.
The community's recently renovated hub — pools, fitness, and gathering spaces for members and residents.
A renowned 18-hole championship course threading the oak hills and hillside vineyards.
The resort's serene spa for massage, thermal soaking, and unhurried afternoons.
A destination restaurant and bar with valley views — casually excellent, minutes from your door.
Miles of hiking, working lavender fields, an organic garden, and vineyards to wander.
The valley's sheltered microclimate runs warmer, sunnier, and clearer than the foggy coast just minutes west.
Wine tasting in the Village, beaches and Pebble Beach to the west, and the quiet, sunlit hush of the valley all your own.
