While redwood reigns inside, teak is the wood of choice for the deck. From there, floating stairs lead to a tiered water feature. The home is surrounded by a seven-acre, award-winning garden designed by Paul Leffingwell. 

The home is situated atop a private 20-acre knoll overlooking Carmel-by-the-Sea. The standing seam roof features 18,000 square feet of imported copper.

General contractor George Lino joined architect John Marsh Davis on the Carmel project. The marvelous home, with its redwood-centric design, took four years to complete.

The abundance of redwood is broken up by stainless steel once you reach the chef kitchen. The space is stocked with heavy-duty appliances, cabinet storage and track lighting.
