About Belmont Homes in Carmel Country Highlands

Belmont homes carry a distinction no other Carmel Country Highlands community can claim: this is the neighborhood that started it all. Built by Pardee Homes in 1999, Belmont opened the Carmel Country Highlands master plan with 142 detached single-family residences ranging 2,720 to 3,483 square feet with 4 to 5 bedrooms. Belmont Carmel Valley homes established both the architectural language and the equestrian naming heritage that would come to define the entire master plan across the following decade of development.

What sets Belmont apart from other Carmel Country Highlands homes for sale is the combination of foundational history and settled neighborhood character. At 25-plus years old, Belmont has matured into an established ridge-top community with mature landscaping, cohesive streetscape identity, and the kind of resident continuity that only comes with time. Ten pastoral-themed street names — Derrydown Way, Manor Ridge, Hunters Glen Drive, Greenwillow Lane, Spicewood Court, Amberglades, Cloverhurst Way, Gaylemont Lane, Quaker Hill Lane, and Havenridge Way — carry an English-countryside sensibility that complements the community's equestrian namesake.

For buyers researching Belmont homes for sale, the value proposition is clear: an established Carmel Valley community with 20-plus years of proven neighborhood stability, ridge-top elevation delivering canyon and Pacific views on select lots, and access to Sage Canyon Elementary — the top-ranked elementary school located within the master plan itself.

The Founding Story
1999
The year Carmel Country Highlands began

“Belmont opened the master plan — every other Carmel Country Highlands community follows its lead.”

When Pardee broke ground on Belmont in 1999, no other Carmel Country Highlands community existed yet. Belmont established both the architectural language and the equestrian naming heritage. Every subsequent sub-community — from Lexington and Saratoga to the award-winning Highlands Village that closed the master plan in 2012 — built upon the foundation Belmont set.

A Pastoral Streetscape

The Ten Streets of Belmont

Ten English-countryside-inspired street names give Belmont Carmel Valley homes a coherent address identity that most Carmel Valley communities can't match — a pastoral counterpoint to the racing-themed community name:

  • Derrydown Way
  • Manor Ridge
  • Hunters Glen Drive
  • Greenwillow Lane
  • Spicewood Court
  • Amberglades
  • Cloverhurst Way
  • Gaylemont Lane
  • Quaker Hill Lane
  • Havenridge Way
The Racetrack Heritage

Named After the Belmont Stakes

The Belmont Stakes — the final and longest of American Thoroughbred racing's Triple Crown, held annually at Belmont Park in New York since 1867 — provides the name and set the tone. Every subsequent Carmel Country Highlands community followed the equestrian theme: Derby Hill (Kentucky Derby), Saratoga (Saratoga Race Course), Steeplechase, Carriage Run, Bridle Ridge, Lexington (Kentucky horse country), and The Breakers. Belmont started the naming legacy.
