Three Umbrellas
‘Million Dollar Listing’s’ Justin Fichelson lists £12.6 million Three Umbrellas, Carmel estate used by Ferrari and Pagani during the annual Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance
Used by both Ferrari and Pagani during the famed Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, ‘Tres Paraguas’ – Spanish for ‘three umbrellas’ – in Jacks Peak, Carmel, California has been brought to the market by the star of Bravo TV’s Million Dollar Listing San Francisco, Justin Fichelson.
Three Umbrellas – Tres Paraguas, 566 Aguajito Road, Carmel-By-The-Sea, CA 93923, USA Priced at £12.6 million ($17.5 million, €16 million), the 12,482 square foot house was designed by architect Ron Mann for Bob and Aime Carroll in 2004 and described by him as an “experiment, … a one of kind living environment [and] something really new and innovative”.
Formed as a complex of five structures around a large enclosed courtyard with a pool, catina and spa, Tres Paraguas is dominated by three giant roofs of corten steel and features 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and 2 half-bathrooms.
Enjoying “sweeping views” of the Monterrey Peninsula and the Pacific Ocean beyond, the property stands on a lot that extends to a total of 4.75 acres. It is within 10 minutes of downtown Carmel and is described by Fichelson as “a spectacular modern estate”.
Three Umbrellas – The internal style is strikingly modern.
