Welcome to the Monterey Peninsula oasis. An oasis is defined by Webster as “something that provides refuge, relief, or pleasant contrast.” We have long been celebrating how fortunate we are to get to spend time here on the Monterey Peninsula. Lately, with the pandemic, financial crisis, and geopolitical turmoil around the world, much of our focus has been on community and the safe, healthy, and easy way of living we are afforded here on The Peninsula. Now, this summer, we are celebrating the pure beauty of our oasis. After months of record setting rain, the summer sun has ignited a ‘superbloom’ featuring marvelous displays of wildflowers from the coast to the valley. The beaches are sparkling, the golf courses are plush, and every minute outside reminds us of how beautiful this place is and how lucky we are to live here.
It is appropriate that this edition of Monterey Coast Homes features a colorful piece on ‘Getting Outside’ and exploring Monterey County’s many areas for recreation. Monterey Coast Realty agents John Romley, Ben Zoller and Jenn Menke all share their favorite parts of the Monterey Peninsula and their favorite outdoor activities.
At Monterey Coast Realty and sister company Carmel Realty Company, we celebrate our experienced team of local experts. In this edition of Monterey Coast Homes, we feature some of our agents who are experts in Marina, East Garrison, Seaside and Sand City. They speak to the new local developments and how those markets are emerging and thriving more than ever.
This last month, Carmel Realty Company is proud to have represented the landmark sale of the beautiful Butterfly House on Scenic Road in Carmel. Unique marketing and positioning are required to properly represent a home of this magnitude. We put this same care into representing all our listings to the highest standard. We are proud to showcase more outstanding properties our professional agents have for sale across the Peninsula, along with other highlights of homes recently sold. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us if we can assist you, or your friends and family, with any real estate activity.
We hope you enjoy the magazine.
