Perched atop the Santa Lucia mountains in Carmel, this serene home is meant for someone who wants to spend their life outside.

Ranch OH perfectly marries classic ranch charm with a minimalistic, modern aesthetic. Designed by award-winning San Francisco-based firm Feldman Architecture and landscape designers Bernard Trainor+ Associates, the house is built in a horseshoe shape around a 100-year-old Valley Oak—which provides shade for the surrounding courtyard. The exterior features pre-weathered corrugated steel cladding and buff limestone walls while the interiors feature a soft palette of cedar-clad ceilings, oil-rubbed steel, and exposed concrete floors.

At the entry level, the outdoor living room looks out onto a gorgeous 70-foot pool, while the indoor living room's large windows offer a dramatic view of the surrounding mountains. Next to the living room is a kitchen full of white cabinetry and a large island, whose windows face the courtyard. A steel and a glass staircase leads to the upper level where a home office and a private deck are located.

The house is also equipped with smart home technology provided by Savant. With a simple tap of the app, the owner can turn on the heat, the lights, and the music from anywhere in the house.
