The largest oceanfront home in the tony Carmel Highlands area, the pad is known as the Lodge at Spindrift
. Originally constructed in 1983, the stunning estate, which sits perched atop a craggy cypress-lined cliff overlooking a pristine stretch of shoreline, features six bedrooms and nine baths spread throughout three stories in an incredible 12,100 square feet.
The residence is currently owned by software engineer Gary Vickers, who purchased it for $14.4 million in 2018 and added it to a massive complex of adjoining parcels and properties he spent over a decade accumulating. Consisting of a total of five dwellings and more than four acres of coastal land, he dubbed the compound “The Seven Coves of Spindrift” in honor of the seven inlets it towers above.
For whatever reason, Vickers recently changed course and is now taking a stab at selling the Lodge individually, though the complete complex remains available as a rental.Prior to Vickers, the Lodge at Spindrift was owned by Steve Fossett and his wife, Peggy, who purchased it in 1996. An adventurer, Steve is best known for being the first person to fly alone around the world nonstop
. Sadly, he lost his life in an airplane crash in 2007. Peggy held onto the Carmel Highlands home until her own death in 2017, after which Vickers purchased it from her estate.
