Exclusive Oceanfront Property situated on Pebble Beach, boasting panoramic views of Spyglass Hill's 11th fairway, seeks buyers for a whopping $10.9 million price tag.
Pebble Beach Compound Inspired by Suzhou's Canglang Pavilion
Nestled on the exclusive Spyglass Hill Golf Course in Pebble Beach, California, a unique residential compound has just hit the market for $10.9 million. Designed by architect Emily Yang Bauer and AGD, this minimalist Japanese-Scandinavian (Japandi) property is a sight to behold, boasting five bedrooms, six baths, and a host of unique features across roughly 4,900 square feet.
The main residence offers a separate guest suite around the corner from the attached three-car garage, complete with its own entrance, living area, and a kitchenette. The family room, a pair of en suite bedrooms, and the laundry facilities can be found on the lower level.
Stepping outside, the compound's grounds are a delight, surrounded by trees and water features. The creekside guesthouse, entered via a bridge over water, offers an additional bedroom, bath, living area, and kitchenette, plus a covered pavilion specially designed for tea ceremonies.
The design of the compound was inspired by the Cui-Ling-Long at China's Canglang Pavilion, part of the Classical Gardens of Suzhou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. However, it's important to note that while both share an emphasis on landscape aesthetics, there is no direct documented influence linking Canglang Pavilion’s classical Chinese garden style to Pebble Beach’s compound design.
The Canglang Pavilion, dating back to the Song Dynasty, is an iconic classical Chinese garden known for its poetic simplicity, integration of architecture with natural elements, and its reflection of Song Dynasty literati aesthetics. While its design has influenced garden and landscape design principles globally, there is no specific evidence in the search results directly connecting its design influence to the Pebble Beach compound.
The listing for the compound is held by Tim Allen of Coldwell Banker Realty. The property offers partial views of the Pacific Ocean, making it an ideal retreat for golf enthusiasts and nature lovers alike.
