5300 Sweetwater Trl A private casita with its own entrance and full bath makes this Pacific Highlands Ranch home one of the more versatile floor plans you'll find in Carmel Valley; whether you're housing extended family, a long-term guest, or simply want a completely separate space to work from home. Inside, the open layout centers around a large kitchen with generous storage and counter space that serious cooks will appreciate. The great room flows naturally toward the covered California room, a genuinely impressive outdoor living space built around a custom BBQ and designed for year-round use. It's the kind of setup that makes you rethink how much time you actually need to spend indoors. Upstairs, the primary suite delivers with a beautifully finished bath and an oversized balcony that stands out even by Carmel Valley standards, the kind of space where a morning coffee or evening wind-down becomes a ritual rather than an afterthought. Paid solar, a three-car garage, low-maintenance yard, and a serene waterfall round out the package. Canyon Crest Academy and Pacific Trails Middle School are both within easy reach, and The Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch puts dining and shopping just minutes away.
