About 28000 Underwood Road
Perched on a commanding ridge with panoramic views across Corral de Tierra's historic ranchlands west to the Pacific, 28000 Underwood Road offers exceptional privacy and quiet repose. Rich in regional history, the area inspired Steinbeck's celebrated Pastures of Heaven. The property includes a remodeled three-bedroom, two-bath custom log home, workshop, and equipment shed, set among multiple vantage points where summer night skies come alive overhead and spring paints the undulating hillsides in green. The land and climate are ideal for vineyards, olive trees, beekeeping, and more but the true draw is the serene, view-oriented landscape that requires little of its owner and quietly exceeds expectation. You feel lighter as you climb the ridge and enter the gates. Infrastructure highlights include a 400-amp electrical service, a productive well, and ample water storage and propane capacity. Extensive renovations including a new Corten steel roof, updated water and heating systems, and driveway improvements a turnkey retreat only minutes away from the sights and amenities of Monterey, Carmel, and Big Sur.
