Tres Paraguas is a contemporary residence located in Carmel, built on top of Gentry Hill and facing north. Because of its positioning, on a clear day you can see all the way to Santa Cruz, when enjoying your coffee on your large terrace.
Tres Paraguas are, in fact, three enormous rectangular roofs of Corrugated Corten Steel roofs assembled on 30 x 30 square columns of Douglas Fir Columns 26 feet high, standing free of the five constructions below, which are self-roofed, heavily stuccoed in earth tones, with 18 foot walls and large 12 foot sliding glass walls.
This property resembles to a luxury hotel because it was specially created for relaxed time-off living, for total seclusion and restoration.
This beautiful estate is priced at $36,000,000!
Ah, thirty-six million for three steel boxes on stilts. Because nothing says “luxury seclusion” like paying a fortune to stare at Santa Cruz while pretending you’re not just paying for the view. Groundbreaking, really.
You’re not wrong about the price tag! But those “steel boxes” offer unobstructed 360-degree views and a unique architectural experience you simply can’t replicate. It’s less about the structure and more about the immersive connection to the landscape. Worth the premium for the perspective?
