A Personal Message To You From Ryan Melcher:

I appreciate you taking the time to research us. I’m proud of what we’ve built here. I can read the market. Cheers.

#1 Sotheby’s Agent In Carmel | #2 Overall Agent In Monterey County 2025 | $98M Sold In 2025 | Carmel-by-the-Sea & Pebble Beach | 18 years serving the Monterey Peninsula | Sotheby’s International Realty | 831.521.5024 As a perennial leader in the local luxury real estate market, my staff and I specialize in Carmel and Pebble Beach properties, as well as other high-end or complex offerings around t

he Monterey Peninsula. I got into this business in the mid 2000’s, to create my own legacy and leverage my local and international network for the benefit of my clients. My team and I understand that business is all about relationships, and with our representation, we pass the benefit of those relationships onto you, our clients. As a 3rd generation resident, I grew up in Carmel, where my family co-owned the Cypress Inn. Still working in the entertainment industry, my parents and I split time in Los Angeles and also in Martha’s Vineyard. I have quite a few ties to the industry, the LA area, as well as Silicon Valley here in the Bay Area. Our clients demand a lot from us, and they get it. We work with all kinds of people at the apex of their particular industry. There is nothing that another team or agent on the Peninsula can do or offer, that we don’t. We offer the same or better marketing as all the other top teams. We bring competency as businesspeople to the table, every day, and I would challenge that we bring that to the table in unmatched doses. I’ve taken chances in real estate development and broken records when other, more established agents told me I was out of my mind. I’m a tactful business person that understands values and future equity growth in a way that most agents can’t. I’m very aggressive and focused in my dedication to our client’s goals, and I balance this with kindness and calm. This is extremely important in such a competitive real estate market. I don’t allow myself to be pushed around by anyone- rather I represent my client’s interests, fully, in any situation or with any other agent. It would be our honor to bring our unique talent and perspective to your table, and represent you and your family’s needs. I can confidently say that you will never interview another agent or team again. I look forward to meeting with you.

Just Listed 🏡 5155 Carmel Valley Rd, Carmel

The Hatton Ranch meadows AKA Melcher Meadows. A property that is near and dear to me. A one-of-a-kind legacy property representing one of the last remaining portions of the historic Hatton Ranch, offering nearly 13 acres of usable meadows, majestic oaks, and sweeping south-facing views of the Santa Lucia Mountains just moments from Carmel-by-the-Sea. Raised high above the Valley, one would have barely an inkling of their incredible proximity to town.

Gated, but with no HOA, a private well system supports the future construction of a substantial main residence, creating a rare opportunity to establish a true legacy estate. Existing improvements include a renovated one-bedroom, one-bath cottage, previously from the old Carmel Dairy, and a renovated barn, original to the ranch, now the home of an office/gym.

With expansive usable acreage so uniquely close to the beach, the ranch is ideally suited for a private family retreat, equestrian pursuits, a large car barn, potential agricultural uses, or enjoy the property as-is and land bank it for future generations.

One could easily believe they’re deep in Carmel Valley, or Idaho for that matter. Spend your days watching families of deer, turkeys, peacocks, foxes and bobcats roam the meadows. Or pop into town in minutes for a cocktail before dinner. The kind of property that speaks directly to the soul, this is true Valley living, only right in town.

JUST SOLD | Represented Seller & Buyer
Properties with this much soul rarely trade hands. 🗝️

Grateful for the pleasure of representing a wonderful family in the sale of their longtime home, a true hidden Carmel gem. It is an honor to help transition this pristine, single-level cottage into the hands of its next stewards.

Loved by the same owners for over 20 years, this property was the ultimate answer to privacy and serenity in the Village. Tucked into one of Carmel-by-the-Sea’s best-kept secret neighborhoods, it offered absolute tranquility while sitting just a private footpath away from the buzzing energy of downtown, the Forest Theater, and the Mission Walking Trails.

From the oversized two-bedroom floor plan and chef’s kitchen to the expansive, sun-drenched deck perfect for entertaining, this home simply offered more. Complete with a gracious primary suite, rare ease of on-street parking, and an oversized garage, it is a property with incredible soul.

Cheers to the new owners and the next chapter for this beautiful space! 🥂
