Property Description

Rare opportunity to secure an exceptional homesite in a truly dream-worthy setting: a remarkably large lot in exclusive Five Knolls Estates, with no HOA. Enjoy privacy, mature landscaping, and a quiet presence that’s increasingly hard to find – yet with easy access to dining, shopping, and everyday conveniences. All of the timeless appeal of mid-century design: clean lines, large gathering spaces, and walls of windows that create a strong indoor-outdoor connection. Lush greenery provides a gorgeous backdrop most of the year, with absolutely stunning foliage each fall. The primary suite is an oasis on the entire third floor with phenomenal natural light and thoughtful details like a giant, cedar-lined closet. The kitchen and bathrooms are ready for updating, presenting a compelling opportunity to tailor the home to your own taste—whether that means honoring the original aesthetic or a reimagined vision. This property invites you to create a personalized residence that is as distinctive as the neighborhood itself. If you love to entertain, the newly resurfaced pool and hot tub will be the epicenter of every party, with an inviting rec room and brick-floored sunroom to welcome guests inside after a swim. If you love to garden, the terraced side yard is just waiting for your inspiration. If you love to golf, then you probably already know that this location is truly a golfer’s haven – just a stone’s throw from Carmel Country Club’s South Course, one of their 2 championship golf courses. It’s also nearby to 2 more courses, Cedarwood (5 mins away) and Quail Hollow (12 mins). More than a home, welcome to a long-term investment in lifestyle, location, and legacy.
