ONE Carmel Brings a New Vision for Luxury Living to California’s Monterey Peninsula

One of the Monterey Peninsula’s last significant opportunities for large-scale luxury residential living has officially entered the market. Set across 891 acres in California’s Carmel Valley, ONE Carmel has launched sales for 73 homesites and completed residences, introducing a private community that places equal emphasis on architecture, conservation, culture and personalized service.

Located against the backdrop of the Santa Lucia Mountains, the gated enclave represents more than a traditional luxury development. Under the leadership of Crystal Jiang, the land was assembled over more than a decade with the goal of preserving the area’s history while creating a community designed for future generations. The result is a residential destination where expansive homes, equestrian facilities, wellness programming and curated artistic experiences are woven into the surrounding landscape.

The community offers 73 homesites ranging from approximately 2.5 to more than 12 acres, giving owners ample room to create highly customized residences while maintaining privacy and generous open space. Sweeping views of both the Pacific Ocean and the Santa Lucia Mountains define many of the homesites, while the scale allows for multi-generational compounds and guest accommodations.

A limited collection of ten Founders Selection Lots and completed residences is currently available, with pricing beginning at $6 million. Homes are being designed in collaboration with local architects alongside internationally recognized design firms. Natural materials, native landscaping and architecture intended to complement the surrounding terrain aim to create residences that feel integrated into the environment rather than imposed upon it.

Art Becomes Part of Everyday Living

Carmel has long been recognized as one of California’s most celebrated artistic communities, and that legacy plays a central role in the vision for ONE Carmel. Each residence has the option to become an “Art Residence,” allowing homeowners to work with internationally recognized art consultants to curate collections tailored to their homes and personal interests.

The planned ONE Carmel Center for Arts and Culture will further reinforce that creative identity. The campus is expected to feature commissioned site-specific installations integrated throughout the landscape, rotating exhibitions, artist residency programs, educational initiatives and community events. An outdoor amphitheater will provide an additional venue for performances and cultural programming. Rather than treating artwork as a finishing touch, the development positions art as a defining element of the community experience.

A Historic Equestrian Legacy Lives On

At the heart of the property is the restored September Ranch, a historic equestrian facility being reimagined as both a residential amenity and a resource for the broader Carmel and Monterey communities.

The 20-acre equestrian center will become the region’s only public equestrian facility, offering indoor and outdoor riding arenas, dressage facilities, customized training programs, private horse boarding and access to more than 12 miles of riding trails.

The restoration preserves an important piece of the property’s heritage while creating opportunities for residents and visitors to engage with the area’s longstanding equestrian traditions.

Wellness, Nature and Elevated Service

Beyond the residences themselves, ONE Carmel is designed around a lifestyle centered on wellness and personalized hospitality. The community clubhouse will serve as the primary gathering place for residents, offering wellness-focused amenities, concierge services and direct access to private hiking trails that wind through the property’s natural landscape.

Homeowners also have the option to join ONE Plus, a membership program extending beyond Carmel to an international collection of clubhouses and wellness destinations in Palo Alto, London, Tokyo, Taiwan and Hong Kong. The network emphasizes longevity-focused programming, curated experiences and access to private events.

A Global Approach to Luxury Homeownership

Supporting the residential experience is an unusually comprehensive service model built around two membership tiers.ONE Global provides family office services along with access to an international network of private clubs, events and experiences designed to simplify ownership for globally connected families.

ONE Private expands upon those offerings with personalized concierge services backed by what the development describes as a 17-to-1 professional service-to-household ratio, allowing residents to receive individualized support for day-to-day living, travel and property management.

Combined with the community’s arts programming, restored equestrian facilities and expansive natural setting, the service model reflects an increasingly global approach to luxury residential living, where homeowners seek not only exceptional properties but also experiences and support that extend well beyond their front door.
