Although I cover estates every day there aren't that many that truly leave me wanting to live in them. This Craftsman home located on Point Lobos, four miles south of Carmel, California is one of them. This charming home has views from the Big Sur Lighthouse to the south through to the Cypress Point coastline north. The house and grounds are on over nine acres consisting of three parcels, the main house on one, a guest house on the second and the third is a scenic easement. What gets me about this house isn't just the location, it's the cozy simplicity. You aren't getting a lot of house for your money, just 4300 square feet which includes only three bedrooms and just two baths but what you are getting is simple, classic and charming. It is listed at $12,950,000. After the jump, imagine curling up on the couch next to the stone fireplace with a book and watching the ocean.
