Set within the highly exclusive River Meadows enclave, one of mid-Carmel Valley's most coveted and private communities, Hawks Landing is an extraordinary French Country estate offering timeless elegance, privacy, and resort-style living just five miles from Carmel-by-the-Sea. Arrive through handcrafted iron gates and follow a sweeping circular driveway framed by lush lawns, mature redwoods, and expansive, manicured grounds. Resting on over six flat acres along the Carmel River, this magnificent 6,000+ sq. ft. estate embodies sophistication, serenity, and scale rarely found in the region. Inside, a dramatic formal entry with soaring 20-foot ceilings sets the tone for the home's refined craftsmanship. Rich cherrywood floors, paneled millwork, and elegant architectural details flow throughout the residence, blending classic European charm with comfortable coastal living. The main residence features multiple grand living spaces, including a formal living room with vaulted wood-beamed ceilings, a striking stone fireplace, and oversized picture windows overlooking the estate grounds. A separate sitting area with a wood-burning fireplace offers a more intimate retreat, while the formal dining room comfortably seats 10 guests. The chef's kitchen is thoughtfully designed with high-end appliances, generous counter space, and a charming breakfast nook that opens directly to the gardens through French doors—creating seamless indoor-outdoor living. The main level also includes the primary suite (King), a private sanctuary with French doors leading to the pool and spa area, a cozy fireplace, and a spa-inspired bathroom featuring a soaking tub and spacious layout. A separate laundry room with built-in counter space adds everyday convenience. A grand staircase leads to the upper level, where you'll find two spacious guest bedrooms (Queen, Queen), a shared hallway bathroom with soaking tub and walk-in shower, a loft-style office area, and a balcony overlooking the stunning backyard and grounds. The attached guest residence offers exceptional flexibility, complete with its own kitchen, spacious living area, two additional bedrooms (Queen, 2 Twins), and one bathroom; ideal for extended family or guests seeking privacy. Outdoors, the estate transforms into a private resort. A large swimming pool and spa anchor the backyard, complemented by a gym house, a covered outdoor kitchen cabana, and expansive lawns perfect for entertaining, relaxing, or simply enjoying the tranquility of Carmel Valley living.
