An NFL Champion Lists His Dual-Estate Compound with Views Across Carmel Valley & The Pacific Ocean

The Ridge at Upper Forty High above Carmel Valley, where vineyards, oaks, and distant Pacific horizons converge, The Ridge at Upper Forty is more than a remarkable estate. It is the expression of a life shaped by landscape, family, and a deep sense of place. For Scott Fujita, former NFL linebacker and Super Bowl champion, and his family, this private Carmel Valley ridge became far more than a home. After years defined by the intensity of professional football and life in major cities, it offered something increasingly rare: space, stillness, perspective, and a place to put down lasting roots. Set across approximately 20 acres on two adjacent ridge-top parcels, this dual-estate compound evolved from a family retreat into a generational property designed for gathering, restoration, and stewardship. The main residence, completed in 2007 and later thoughtfully refined, reflects a warm modern sensibility that is both sophisticated and deeply livable. Vaulted ceilings, expansive windows, and walls of glass frame sweeping 360-degree views from Carmel Valley to Monterey Bay and the Pacific beyond, opening to terraces, gardens, and outdoor living spaces that foster a seamless connection to the land and sea. As Scott’s family and vision for the property grew, so did the estate. Across the adjoining parcel, the 2014 pool house serves as a resort-caliber retreat, complete with a gourmet kitchen, guest accommodations, and a bunk room that sleeps eight, all oriented around a pool terrace, cabana, and bocce court. A hidden stone wine cave introduces an element of discovery, while the barn offers flexible space suited to car collectors, fitness, events, or recreation. The estate is situated just moments from village dining, wine tasting, hiking, beaches, and the renowned amenities of Carmel and Pebble Beach. Private, cinematic, and unmistakably Carmel Valley, The Ridge at Upper Forty is a rare legacy property where architecture, land, and lifestyle have been brought together with intention. www.TheRidgeAtUpperForty.com Shelly Mitchell Lynch, Carmel Realty Company 831.277.8044 DRE#01217466
