The first estate constructed in this private community on the grounds of the Pasatiempo Golf Course and Country Club above Monterey Bay, developed by U.S. Women's Amateur Colf Champon Marion Hollins. Legendary Bay-Area architect William Wurster designed the residence around a central patio anchored by a mature California Oak as a retreat for Hollins' guests. It has been respectfully restored and updated with deference to the original intent. Every room retains and conveys a clear understanding of tradition combined with the relaxed informality of California living.

The epicurean kitchen includes wonderful amenities such as a 6 burner Wolf and convection oven, 2 additional electric JennAir ovens, the butlers pantry as well as another quite large pantry that could also be used as a wine cellar, tile and Carrara Marble counters and a comfortable breakfast area.

The spacious split level floor plan presents a welcoming balance of sophistication and lesiure with a formal living room with fireplace and a separate formal dining room, plus relaxing areas such as the family room with fireplace, sun porch, courtyard and well appointed bedrooms.

The Master Suite (approximately 40' X 17')has been designed with elegance and features a fireplace, sitting area and welcoming sunroom that can also serve as a nursery or office.

A library, solarium, butlers pantry, and guest quarters with private entrance are some of the many other amenities included in this home.

This property sits directly across from the 9th. Every window in this home sees the course or looks out onto the magnificent gardens, which were originally designed by the notably renowned and greaty esteemed landscape architect Thomas Church. One is always surrounded by and can take advantage of the tranquil park-like grounds with luscious lawns, peaceful gardens, private patios and fountains.

The property is steps from the Pasatiempo Clubhouse, Pro Shop, Pool, Driving Range, Tennis Courts, MacKenzie Bar and Grill, and the 4-Star-Rated Hollins House Restaurant, and commuting distance to Silicon Valley, Carmel, Monterey, Pebble Beach and San Francisco.
