Interesting that the writer didn't even mention the fact that the funds to purchase this house probably came from Michael inheriting a fortune from his mother who invented this:

Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Nesmith was the one Monkee with talent.
Practically invented “Country Rock” before The Eagles.
On youTube check out Mike Nesmith’s “Television Parts.”
Genius. Look up “El Dorado to the Moon,” and Jimmy Buffett’s “Dance” video on his show.
Gentle, lovely and sheer genius
Fill your coffee cup first. Once you start. you’ll be awhile on this stuff.
Caught the Last Train to Clarksville.
Built in ‘62? After I lived there. LOL! ‘55. YIKES!
Whoever would have guessed, "Liquid Paper (from long ago)."
I can't imagine that being your marriage spot.
My wife and I had the most memorable vacation of our lives visiting Carmel over 40 years ago.
Maybe one of God's special spots in our universe :-).
Ironically “Last Train to Clarksville” is playing on SXM 60’s Gold as I am reading this...
My grandparents built a house there in’60 lived there till ‘74. Laurel Dr. about two miles from the village. Spent a lot of summers as a kid up there.
I’d read about that, too. Mickey was the only Monkee who had money when the show was canceled. His parents were Hollywood actors but they made sure their children had a non-Hollywood, normal lifestyle which included being careful with the income. His “Circus Boy” days probably gave him a good start with his mom guiding him in investments.
Sitting on 6 acres, sounds like a decent deal. Somebody might tear the house down and put up something much larger, with quarters for live-in help.
A pretty area, but somewhat isolated. The isolation, rigid zoning laws and high initial housing cost is (still) keeping away most (but not all) of growing dysfunction that’s swamping the rest of California.
Wow, it’s gorgeous. But it appears all original except for the kitchen remodel and even there they chose low-end cabinets with routed panels. But they did choose top-end Wolf appliances and range hood.
We raised our family in a California rancher built ten years before this one in the Bay Area. It’s still a great layout and simple.
I’ve always loved Carmel Valley and thought it would be the ideal place to live or retire. My wife didn’t want to move there because friends say it is foggy all the time. Plus, the horrendously destructive, anti-white, ultra-high-tax, soft-on-crime California politics drove us out of the state.
Ping!

The problem with California, is it’s in California...
Yep, my first thought was Liquid Paper bought the house, too.
That’s awfully cheap so guessing they’re hoping for a bidding war.
I'm pretty sure Mike Nesmith is from Massachusetts... and his mother used to occasionally call into the Howie Carr conservative talk radio show. Any other Howie Carr fans remember?
Ah Clint Eastwood was also mayor there in the 80’s
BTTT
