These were the five highest-priced home sales reported in the Monterey–Salinas Area, California for the week ending November 1, 2026, and together they came to $34.95 million. Two of the homes are in Carmel Valley, two are in Carmel and one is in Pebble Beach, all of them single-family homes in Monterey County.
The range is wide. The list runs from a home built in 1958 to one finished in 2016, and from a lot of 4,000 square feet near the beach in Carmel to a ranch of thousands of acres in the hills above Carmel Valley.
No. 1 — $17,700,000 · 38633 E Carmel Valley Rd, Carmel Valley, California
The ranch at 38633 E Carmel Valley Road covers 8,811 acres of coastal range land, the largest property of the five by far. It is a working cattle operation, with a barn, horse pens, covered paddocks, fenced pastures and cattle corrals fitted with a chute, squeeze and scales. Wells and underground piping feed water troughs across the land, and seasonal ponds and creeks run through it. Miles of roads and trails reach the back country for riding on horseback or by ATV, and the land supports black-tailed deer, wild boar, turkeys and quail.
Old oaks shade the drive in from the gate. The ranch headquarters come first, with a large hay barn and a separate one-bedroom ranch house that serves as a guest house. A paved drive then climbs to the main home, a one-story ranch built in 1996 on a hillside. It has four bedrooms and two bathrooms, an open plan with both a living room and a family room, an open kitchen and dining area, and a hearth of river rock. A backup generator serves the home.
From the high ground the views take in the Salinas Valley and Carmel Valley, and on a clear day reach the ocean and Carmel-by-the-Sea. The land rises to Palo Escrito Peak, at 4,600 feet. Carmel Valley Village is about 25 minutes away by car.
The ranch sold for $17,700,000, its full asking price, and was the highest-priced sale of the week. Donna R Utterback of California Outdoor Properties -Fall River was the listing agent with Dennis A Prins of California Outdoor Properties, and Utterback also represented the buyer, putting the same agent on both sides of the sale.
