Paint the life you've always dreamed.
You didn't know you needed a private forest retreat inside the Pebble Beach gates until right now. You're welcome.
When artist Beau Bernier Frank came to paint here, he spoke about what drew him to this stretch of coast in the first place. The limestone mountains, the redwood forests, the hidden, quiet beaches all concentrated within a sixty-mile radius. Pebble Beach, he said, has so much diversity. Beautiful homes enveloped by cypress trees, wild oak, luscious green grass. Impossible to paint the same scene twice.
This .3-acre modern contemporary home doesn't try to compete with its surroundings. It belongs to them.Clean lines and considered angles give way to something quieter, where every room leans into the forest and private decks invite the kind of stillness your life has been calling for.
Beau noticed it immediately. The amount of glass, the way each window creates its own frame looking out into the forest and hillside. Put a frame around any one of them, he said, and it becomes a painting.
The primary suite rises above it all with sweeping canopy views, a private deck, and a closet situation your wardrobe has been waiting for. Out back, the hot tub rests tucked beneath the trees, where the day softens and time loosens its grip.
Step beyond it and the trail carries you. Thirty minutes through the woods and you're in Carmel-by-the-Sea. Not a commute, a return. When the wider world calls, Pebble Beach Lodge is eight minutes away, Big Sur forty.
As Beau put it, sometimes you walk in, look up after a few minutes or a few hours, and there's a painting looking back.
Some homes are built to be seen. This one is meant to be felt.

It started like any other day on the course. ⛳️A round of golf, a familiar fairway… nothing out of the ordinary.
Until one shot went completely off track.
A ball disappears, a walk off the fairway… and then something unexpected.
Not the ball, the house.
Be careful with this one… it has a way of becoming the place everyone ends up.
Set on half an acre along the 14th hole at Pasatiempo, this is one of those homes that quietly pulls people in. The kind of place you don’t really go looking for… it sort of finds you. From the moment you step in, you notice how everything has been reworked to open up and take full advantage of where it sits.
The main living space is wide open with tall ceilings, a fireplace, and large accordion doors that fold back to the deck, pulling the outdoors in without even trying. It all flows the way you’d hope it would.
Out back is where the story keeps going. The deck and patio sit right on the course, giving you a front-row seat to the day. A few great shots, a few questionable ones, and the occasional recovery attempt that deserves some credit.
A large upper deck, lower patio, and two bocce ball courts give you room to spread out, whether it’s a full house or just an easy afternoon outside. And despite being right on the course, it’s quieter than you’d expect, with open views that feel calm and removed.
You’re right at Pasatiempo without the gates, so you get the setting without the restrictions. Highway 17 is minutes away, over the hill is easy, and the beach is closer than most people realize.
1100 Graham Hill Road. You don’t really find it… it finds you.

“The sea, once it casts it’s spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever” 🌊
There aren’t many places where your morning routine includes checking for dolphins. Pelicans glide down the coastline, sea lions pop up offshore & on the right day you can spot clean surf lines before your coffee cools. Inside, the house has a clean, modern feel that lets the ocean do most of the talking.
The kitchen & living room open together toward the water, so most of life ends up happening right there, cooking dinner, catching up with friends, or just watching the horizon change colors as the sun drops. Big windows keep the ocean in view no matter where you’re sitting & radiant heat beneath the engineered hardwood floors keeps everything comfortable, even on those cooler coastal days.
Out back, the yard was designed to actually be used. Turf, fencing & a fire pit make it the natural gathering place once the sun goes down & the sound of the waves carry up the bluff. Life here includes riding bikes along East Cliff, strolling down to the beach with a board under your arm, coffee nearby & evenings at the neighborhood park. And for the practical side of oceanfront living, the home shares a maintained seawall with Coastal Commission approval for ongoing upkeep.
It’s the kind of place people come to unplug… & quietly end up staying for decades.
A front-row seat to a lifetime of inspiration

This one was made for your family.
Picture it. Sunday morning, coffee in hand, sunlight pouring through vaulted open-beam ceilings while the birds do their thing out back. The kids are in the garden. Friends are coming over later for a backyard barbecue around the fire pit. The neighborhood is quiet, the yard is private, and the park down the street is about to become your kids’ favorite place on earth.
This home is completely turn-key home tucked into a lush, tree-lined neighborhood that families do not leave. Because once you are in, you get it. You get the schools that actually deliver. The neighbors who wave and mean it. The redwood trails minutes from your front door. The Capitola Village beach days that become part of your family’s rhythm every single summer.
And when the workweek calls, Highway 1 keeps the commute simple so you can get back to what matters faster.
Homes like this in Soquel are rare. The neighborhood, the condition, the setting, all in one place at $1,495,000. That is not a number you see often for what this home and this community actually give your family in return.
This is where you plant roots.
DM us MULBERRY and let’s get your family inside before someone else does.

Picture this...It is a Tuesday afternoon. You are standing in your kitchen at 122 Dunn Lane, the farmhouse sink in front of you, something good on the stove, and the butcher block island covered in homework, a half-poured glass of wine, and whatever today brought through the door. The herringbone backsplash catches the light just right. The house smells like dinner. This is just a regular Tuesday here.
Outside your fully fenced backyard is ready for the dog, the garden, the fire pit you have been talking about. The concrete patio is fresh. The landscaping is mature. The neighbors already know your name.
Down the street: Henry Cowell Redwoods, Sky Park, Roaring Camp, Big Basin. Trails that go for miles. And the beach close enough to decide on a whim.
Inside, every detail was thought through. On-demand hot water. Soft water system. An open-concept main level where the kitchen, living, and dining just flow. No awkward layouts. No wasted space. Just a home that works the way your life actually does.
122 Dunn Lane, Scotts Valley
This is the Central Coast life. And it is ready for you.
