Mesa del Sol’s unique location and stunning views have made it a desirable destination for almost 200 years.
Situated on a sun-filled mesa overlooking the sparkling Arroyo Seco River, the property was first established as a stagecoach stop in the late 1800s. Travelers headed overland to Carmel Valley or up the Arroyo Seco River to Mission San Antonio would stop to water their horses and stretch their legs. In fact, the stone water house still stands to this day.
Around the turn of the century, the property became a health center. The hot dry air of the Arroyo Seco Highlands was believed to soothe those ailing from tuberculosis and other maladies. Teddy Roosevelt himself, stayed here during that time!
Over the following decades, the estate changed hands a few times with each new steward leaving their own mark while lovingly tending to the heritage that had been bestowed to them. In 2021, Gary Lyons and Stacey Schrader became a part of this legacy as Mesa del Sol’s new owners.
