As golf fans across the nation tune in this week for the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, a new architectural marvel might be as worthy of as much attention as the scenery and golf legends.
On Friday, a $45 million masterpiece at 3364 17 Mile Drive hit the market—staking its claim as the most exclusive new offering along Pebble Beach Golf Links and adding to the lore of the coveted coastal enclave.
Set at the 14th hole of Pebble Beach Golf Links, the property sits behind the private gates of one of California’s most storied addresses. Residents along this fabled stretch have included Charles Schwab, financier George Roberts of KKR, former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Sun Microsystems founder Scott McNealy, according to Compass real estate firm, which holds the listing.
Ownership here is a rarity, with just 45 homes bordering the course. Only 13 properties have changed hands in the last decade, and new construction is less common than a hole in one.
Abernethy 201603 LLC — a partnership between architect and builder Al Saroyan and seasoned executive Larry T. Solari—paid $10.75 million in 2021 for the property on scenic 17 Mile Drive. They secured permission to tear down the existing home, paving the way to create a luxury estate that would match its one-of-a-kind location.
“Looking back at the house that was an old post-adobe, it felt out of place by the homes surrounding it,” Saroyan said. ”Now we’ve built a home that the site is deserving of.”
Maximum impact
The finished residence is a vision of modern luxury, spanning nearly an acre and positioned for maximum impact. Sunsets spill across Stillwater Cove and the Pacific beyond, with terraces, patios, and a 2,000-square-foot rooftop pavilion framing endless ocean and fairway vistas.
“All the views change throughout the property,” Solari said. “From the great view from the primary, the living room, and dining room and all the way to the garage. The views are unique. And when you get to the rooftop deck you can see portions of 7 of the 18 holes. Those that love golf, will recognize how fun and special this is.”
Privacy is paramount, but so is access—Pebble Beach’s renowned championship courses, the Beach and Tennis Club, and Carmel’s famed restaurants and beaches are all within easy reach.
Encompassing nearly 8,600 square feet inside (not counting the garage), the six-bedroom home’s floor plan is both impressive and intuitive. The primary bedroom sits on the main level, while two suites upstairs and three below accommodate family or guests. In total, the home boasts six bedrooms and ten baths.
Entertainment meets technology
Entertainment and technology are seamlessly integrated. A lower-level bonus room is pre-wired for Trackman or HD golf simulators. A game room offers a putting mat, table tennis and foosball. For movie nights or tournament marathons, the media suite features three 100-inch Samsung Smart TVs. Every party—large or intimate—finds its setting in the home’s great room, rooftop pavilion with full kitchen, or the six-car garage with an ocean-facing glass wall.
Finish details include Venetian plaster walls, thick Brazilian mahogany doors inlaid with chrome, translucent quartzite stairs with backlighting and Wisconsin limestone exterior stonework. The roof’s locally fabricated metal with rusted copper finish hints at Pebble Beach’s coastal palette. Outdoor tiled patios, fire-resistant cedar siding and integrated Tesla Powerwalls complete a setting built for beauty, durability and sustainability.
The project represents the longtime collaboration between Saroyan, known for his Monterey Peninsula craftsmanship since 1974, and Solari, whose career spans decades at the helm of major building materials and construction businesses.
“We had a history of doing projects together. Then the property on Pebble Beach was now available. This was different as it was a one-of-a-kind piece of real estate. This stretch of the golf course around the 14th was a turning point on the course where big views present themselves,” Solari said.
The listing is managed by a team of five Carmel-based Compass agents: Jonathan Spencer, Debby Beck, Dana Bambace, Mark Peterson and Monika Campbell.
