Carmel Realty Company is proud to set another landmark sale on the Monterey Peninsula with the sale of the iconic Butterfly House on Scenic Road for $29,000,000. This is the highest sale on record in Carmel proper.

Selling magnificent estates like The Butterfly House, takes a very sophisticated approach with a unique ability for storytelling and very strategic marketing efforts.

One of the most elegant and compelling marketing pieces created by Carmel Realty was a world-class estate film executed in collaboration with Goldeneye Media of Melbourne, Australia, The Butterfly House. This film and several other marketing pieces by Carmel Realty illustrated how elegantly this home was designed to live in its extraordinary natural setting.  The world-famous Butterfly House is acclaimed for its exceptional design and prime positioning on Carmel Point and has been featured in Architectural Digest 100, A Century of Style.

Shelly Mitchell Lynch represented the sellers, Kevin, and Hannah Comolli, in this iconic sale. “While we are not at liberty to discuss details of the transaction, I can say that it requires experience, extraordinary ability, and a different approach to selling these exquisite homes that are really pieces of art, where the pricing is often subjective and a matter of timing. Shelly and her Carmel Realty team so professionally brought the Butterfly to life, showcasing how the home fits so beautifully in its natural setting. The homes balance and longevity and connection to nature has enriched our lives forever and, while bittersweet, we are delighted to pass the legacy to the new owner”, says Kevin Comolli.

“I could not be more proud to have represented the sale of this iconic property and its very special owners.  The Comolli’s exceptional taste and commitment to quality has helped restore a piece of Carmel’s architectural history for generations to come.  I will be forever grateful to them every time I pass this beautiful home.” says listing agent and Carmel Realty Company Broker, Shelly Mitchell Lynch.

“Our team proved once again that experience, insight, and intelligent marketing is essential to properly communicate the value of these exceptional properties.  Every step is strategic; Carmel Realty’s standard of elevated representation makes the difference” says Shelly Mitchell Lynch who was just ranked #1 agent in sales volume on the Monterey Peninsula and #41 in the United States by RealTrends and as recognized by Wall Street Journal in 2022.

Shelly Mitchell Lynch and Carmel Realty Company have now represented the highest priced sale in Carmel Proper with the Butterfly sale at $29M; Pebble Beach with the sale of Cypress Manor in February 2022 for $36.5M; Carmel-by-the-Sea with the sale of 10 Carmel Way for $27M in 2015 and held the previous record in Big Sur with the sale of a coastal estate for $23.25M in 2021.

Carmel Realty Company has represented 28 Buyers and Sellers on homes over $20M in the last 10 years alone. With 81 agents, collaboration and knowledge are what set this company apart from the competition. Carmel Realty Company understands the intricacies of selling high-end homes and the luxury lifestyle.

Casa Legorreta is on the market for the first time ever! Named after the late internationally renowned architect Ricardo Legorreta, this home is true starchitecture. 

Ricardo Legorreta is the first Latin Gold Medal winner from the American Institute of Architects. This prestigious recognition is annually awarded exclusively to an individual who has created a distinguished body of architecture. Legorreta was also widely recognized for designing Hollywood producer Joel Silver’s home, now on the market for $52 million.

This home stands on a spacious double lot in San Miguel de Allende, a UNESCO World Heritage village.

The owners and Legorreta collaborated in the design, bringing a spectacular vision to life – Casa Legorreta. Legorreta’s design style, illustrated throughout this estate, is best described as delicately balanced between austerity and generosity. 

When taking the first steps into this home, visitors are welcomed into a temazcal-like foyer where you are guided by the broken light of the colonnade at the far end. The entryway leads you to a central courtyard of paved stone bound by a water-rill-like fountain sourced by a Legorreta water stair. 

The house is designed to seamlessly transition from indoor to outdoor living, a popular design in a temperate city. The living room features large sliding glass doors which lead to the outdoor terrace and gardens beyond. 

The first floor of this two-story home is where the family may gather around a spacious dining room that opens to gardens on both sides. Additionally, this floor features the kitchen, staff quarters, and a wood-burning fireplace. A dining terrace overlooks the swimming pool. 

Just a story above is the master suite offering a view of the city’s iconic Parroquia church right from your pillow. The master bathroom encompasses an all-marble dual sink that adjoins a dressing room. The master suite’s glass-parapet balcony overlooks the pool. An in-suite library and desk feature a Frank Gehry Cross Check™ chair, part of the legacy-worthy furniture included with this home.

Two additional en-suite guest rooms complete the second floor, one with a large private terrace.

The home faces a street named the 11th prettiest street in the world by Architectural Digest in 2022, with a roof terrace offering views framed by palm trees of the famous Parroquia church. Hosting an art studio and a trellis-covered lounge, the roof terrace can be easily converted into a 4th bedroom as it features a half bath. 

Best of all, the environment is as noteworthy as the home! San Miguel de Allende has been placed at #1 on Condé Nast Traveler’s Best Cities in the World for 5 years! Condé Nast Traveler describes San Miguel de Allende as “a hub for expat artists” as it is “known for its Spanish Colonial Architecture and colorful facades.” Those with an appreciation for art and culture will enjoy hours worth of galleries and pop-up shops. 

The lifestyle of San Miguel de Allende, combined with the iconic designs of a treasured architectural genius, makes Casa Legorreta a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. No other Legorreta exists globally with a pedigree as prestigious as Casa Legorreta!
