Located in the charming Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, this exquisite home at one time belonged to Clint Eastwood, adding to the allure and rich history of the property. As Tim Allen of Tim Allen Properties Team, the listing agent, notes, “Many long-standing residents in the region have an affinity for the history of this property.” This estate isn’t just a house; it’s a piece of Carmel’s legacy, reflecting the “old-world style and beauty” that defines this sought-after locale. The inviting atmosphere and private setting offer a unique opportunity to own a home with a remarkable backstory.
The 4,442-square-foot residence, sprawling across three levels, boasts four bedrooms, four full bathrooms, and an additional powder room, providing ample space for comfortable living.

Las Ondas offers not one, but two luxurious primary suites. One is conveniently located on the main level, while the grander suite occupies the upper level, designed as a private apartment. This expansive primary suite features soaring vaulted, wood-beamed ceilings, large windows that flood the space with natural light, a fireplace for added warmth, and a private stone terrace offering treetop views. The en-suite bathroom is equally impressive, featuring a hand-painted clawfoot tub and an oversized steam shower, creating a spa-like retreat. A private laundry room adjacent to the bedroom adds to the suite’s convenience and exclusivity.
The fourth en suite bedroom is situated on the lower level, alongside a family/media room and a temperature-controlled wine cellar – perfect for wine enthusiasts. Built into a hillside, the lower level provides direct access to another outdoor terrace surrounded by lush greenery, extending the living space and connecting the indoors with the beautiful Carmel landscape. The property also includes a detached two-car stone garage and ample parking space for multiple vehicles. Adding to the desirability of this location is its proximity to Carmel Beach, just a block away, and walking distance to downtown Carmel’s diverse selection of restaurants and shops.
