Coastal sophistication meets high-tech resilience at 3035 Ribera Rd Carmel! Nestled in the sun-drenched pocket of Carmel Meadows, this residence offers a breathtaking panoramic backdrop of the Carmel River area and northern coastline. Featuring 4 bedrooms, 2 1/2 bathrooms, and both a living room and family room, this spacious and smart floorplan grants both privacy and peace to all. The living room serves as a private gallery for the valley-meets-the-sea views, now enhanced with custom smart shades for effortless light control. The home's energy independence is anchored by the fully owned rooftop solar array and Tesla Powerwall system, providing peace of mind and protection from rising utility costs. Other interior refinements include California Closets systems in both the family room and garage, alongside deep-infrastructure upgrades like new sub-floor insulation and a reinforced retaining wall. The backyard is an idyllic outdoor sanctuary featuring multiple decks, a spa, firepit area and plenty of low maintenance yard for fun and games. The location is a nature-lover's dream: just a short stroll to the pristine sands of Ribera Beach-famed for its front-row views of Point Lobos and sprawling trails of Carmel River State Beach. Location, upgraded, organized, energy-independent!
