Serene Vineyard Chateau with Pool, Hot Tub, BBQ

Disconnect from city life in the heart of Carmel Valley wine country. The Vineyard Chateau sits on 5 creek-front acres with a working Merlot vineyard and countless amenities. Explore 25+ wine tasting rooms in Carmel Valley Village, a scenic hike in nearby Ventana Wilderness, or chill & grill by the seasonal saltwater pool (May-Oct). Add a personalized on-site wine experience, massage, or private chef for an even more unforgettable getaway. Perfect for a family or two couples.

About the space


Surrounded by the majestic oak trees and granite-filled views of the Santa Lucia mountain range, the Vineyard Chateau offers a tranquil escape to the heart of the Carmel Valley wine country. Unwind and recharge in a remote country setting, replacing the stresses of the world with abundant space, fresh air, and absolute peace & quiet.

Step inside the 2,100 square foot three-bedroom home to find a spacious open floor plan with hardwood floors throughout. The luxurious master suite features a champagne bubbler tub for two. The large dining room seats eight comfortably with vaulted ceilings. Expansive picture windows & skylights maximize natural light and nature views. Elegant furnishings, natural wood tones, and a curated original art collection create an atmosphere that is warm and welcoming. Enjoy year-round comfort with climate-controlled heating and air conditioning.

Outside, the property boasts expansive redwood decks overlooking a 20’x40’ seasonal saltwater pool, typically available May through October. The grounds feature extensive native landscaping and stonework, a covered outdoor kitchen/bar, a hot tub, and a creekside dining deck with overhead lighting. There are two tree houses, raised garden beds, a fruit tree orchard, a working Merlot vineyard, and a natural water feature popular with the native birds and frogs.

Rest easy between 100% organic percale cotton sheets and down comforters & pillows. Bedroom 1 features a King bed and Bedroom 2 features a Queen bed, each with an organic cotton Saatva Classic 11.5” Luxury Firm innerspring mattress. Bedroom 3 features a 71” convertible futon that is larger than a Twin but not quite a Double. The only light pollution to contend with here is from the star-filled night sky.

The Vineyard Chateau is designed to maximize comfort, entertainment, and leisure. Binge-watch your favorite streaming services on large flat-screen UHD TVs equipped with Amazon Fire TV. Immerse yourself in a sound bath with full-property Sonos. Curl up and enjoy a book by the pool. Let the kids loose to play on the trampoline, tree swings, or enjoy the Xbox One with a large library of games. Pull out a board game or tickle the ivories on the vintage Mason & Hamlin upright piano. Or take it up a notch with an in-home private massage, requested from our online guest store after booking.

Food lovers will appreciate a fully equipped gourmet chef’s kitchen featuring a 5’x12’ granite countertop, gas range, double convection oven, toaster oven, Technivorm coffee maker, Breville burr coffee grinder, electric tea kettle, Vitamix blender, KitchenAid stand mixer, All Clad cookware, and full tableware. The pantry is stocked with essential herbs, spices, olive oil, organic gourmet coffee beans, and a selection of herbal teas. Guests need only bring their preferred ingredients to create epicurean adventures at the Vineyard Chateau. For those who prefer to dine-in without cooking or cleaning, an in-home private chef experience, complete with groceries, is available for purchase from our online guest store after booking.

Experience al fresco dining with multiple outdoor spaces that invite you to savor meals surrounded by nature. The covered poolside kitchen/bar is perfect for casual get-togethers, while the creekside dining deck offers an enchanting setting for dinner under the stars. And the Weber Performer charcoal grill, Weber Smokey Mountain smoker, grill tools, and outdoor tableware make it easy to do just that.

The artisan Merlot produced from our vineyard is produced & bottled through our boutique winery, CVVC, and is available to on-site guests who are 21 or older. The wine can be purchased by the bottle, or as part of a personalized on-property wine experience hosted by our winemaker Cody, such as a poolside food & wine pairing or a vineyard tour & pour. These wine-related offerings can be purchased through our online guest store after booking.

Just because you’re venturing out to the country doesn’t mean you have to disconnect from it all. High-speed, low-latency 25 Mbps internet, full-property WiFi coverage, and a dedicated workspace for two in bedroom 3 enable you to keep up with your work on an extended stay-cation at the Vineyard Chateau.

Guest access


You’ll have exclusive access to the main house, pool, and hot tub, with shared access to the grounds maintained by a small, discreet staff. A private paved driveway off the main road provides easy access and ample parking near the house. Smart-lock entrances allow you to come and go freely, with secure storage for your belongings.

Other details to note


The property is a large working country estate with a vineyard, orchard, and extensive landscaping that require regular maintenance. To keep everything beautiful and functional, our caretaker lives in a unit on the other side of the property, over 300 feet from the main house, and additional team members visit occasionally. The caretaker and team are informed of guest schedules and aim to work when guests are out or least likely to be disturbed, but you may notice some activity on the grounds, especially during longer stays. Thanks for understanding — it’s all part of what keeps this place special!

Interaction with guests


Kathie, our attentive co-host, lives nearby and will be your primary contact throughout your stay. We’re here when you need us, but otherwise, you’ll have the house and grounds all to yourself for a truly peaceful experience.
