The Birth of American Independence

When the initial battles in the Revolutionary War broke out in April 1775, few colonists desired complete independence from Great Britain, and those who did were considered radical. By the middle of the following year, however, many more colonists had come to favor independence, thanks to growing hostility against Britain and the spread of revolutionary sentiments such as those expressed in Thomas Paine's bestselling pamphlet "Common Sense," published in early 1776.  On June 7, when the Continental Congress met at the Pennsylvania State House (later Independence Hall) in Philadelphia, the Virginia delegate Richard Henry Lee introduced a motion calling for the colonies' independence. Amid heated debate, Congress postponed the vote on Lee's resolution, but appointed a five-man committee--including Thomas Jefferson of Virginia, John Adams of Massachusetts, Roger Sherman of Connecticut, Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania and Robert R. Livingston of New York--to draft a formal statement justifying the break with Great Britain.

On July 2nd, the Continental Congress voted in favor of Lee's resolution for independence in a near-unanimous vote (the New York delegation abstained, but later voted affirmatively). On that day, John Adams wrote to his wife Abigail that July 2 "will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival" and that the celebration should include "Pomp and Parade...Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other." On July 4th, the Congress formally adopted the Declaration of Independence, which had been written largely by Jefferson. Though the vote for actual independence took place on July 2nd, from then on the 4th became the day that was celebrated as the birth of American independence.

Early Fourth of July Celebrations

In the pre-Revolutionary years, colonists had held annual celebrations of the king's birthday, which traditionally included the ringing of bells, bonfires, processions and speechmaking. By contrast, during the summer of 1776 some colonists celebrated the birth of independence by holding mock funerals for King George III, as a way of symbolizing the end of the monarchy's hold on America and the triumph of liberty. Festivities including concerts, bonfires, parades and the firing of cannons and muskets usually accompanied the first public readings of the Declaration of Independence, beginning immediately after its adoption. Philadelphia held the first annual commemoration of independence on July 4, 1777, while Congress was still occupied with the ongoing war. George Washington issued double rations of rum to all his soldiers to mark the anniversary of independence in 1778, and in 1781, several months before the key American victory at Yorktown, Massachusetts became the first state to make July 4th an official state holiday.

After the Revolutionary War, Americans continued to commemorate Independence Day every year, in celebrations that allowed the new nation's emerging political leaders to address citizens and create a feeling of unity. By the last decade of the 18th century, the two major political parties--Federalists and Democratic-Republicans--that had arisen began holding separate Independence Day celebrations in many large cities.

July 4th Becomes A National Holiday

The tradition of patriotic celebration became even more widespread after the War of 1812, in which the United States again faced Great Britain. In 1870, the U.S. Congress made July 4th a federal holiday; in 1941, the provision was expanded to grant a paid holiday to all federal employees. Over the years, the political importance of the holiday would decline, but Independence Day remained an important national holiday and a symbol of patriotism.

Falling in mid-summer, the Fourth of July has since the late 19th century become a major focus of leisure activities and a common occasion for family get-togethers, often involving fireworks and outdoor barbecues. The most common symbol of the holiday is the American flag, and a common musical accompaniment is "The Star-Spangled Banner," the national anthem of the United States.

Pebble Beach Ocean View Real Estate

Pebble Beach Ocean View Real Estate

Whether it is a $500,000 ocean view condo in the upper Pebble Beach forest, or a $27,000,000 ocean view estate home on Stillwater Cove next to the Pebble Beach Lodge, www.searchMontereyPeninsulaHomes.com will have the newest selection of Ocean View Real Estate in Pebble Beach for you to review.

Types of Ocean View Real Estate in Pebble Beach, CA 93953

Pebble Beach has a wide range of ocean view real estate all securely located behind its private gates.  The most affordable real estate in Pebble Beach with ocean views would be an ocean view condo at either Shepherds Knoll or Ocean Pines, both located in the Upper Forest of Pebble Beach.  Both condo complexes sit on top of the ridge on the eastern most boundary of Pebble Beach, offering exceptional ocean views from way up high of the Pebble Beach coastline or the Monterey Bay coastline.

Pebble Beach Ocean View Real Estate

Just down the ridge a little ways, towards Carmel, there is more Pebble Beach real estate with views of Carmel Bay and Point Lobos.  These Pebble Beach ocean view homes are located in the Upper Pebble Beach Forest or in the Central Pebble Beach area and are still fairly affordable.  These ocean views are very similar to the world famous ocean view the Pebble Beach Lodge has but from a much higher vantage point that is close to 900 - 1200 feet above sea level.

The Monterey Peninsula Country Club side of Pebble Beach offers a lot of ocean view real estate with smashing views of the setting sun over the Pacific Ocean.  Ocean view real estate in this part of Pebble Beach typically fronts one of the Monterey Peninsula Country Club golf courses which are cut into the beautiful Pebble Beach coast.  Homes here can be quite  pricey, especially if they have been all remodeled or in many cases rebuilt custom homes.  The ocean views with the setting sun are smashing, making this a very desirable part of Pebble Beach.

The most desirable and highest priced of the Pebble Beach ocean view real estate is located in the Pebble Beach Lodge area.  This area is the only part of Pebble Beach with oceanfront real estate, which stretches from Cypress Point all the way to the Pebble Beach Lodge as well as Pebble Beach Golf Course real estate which also has ocean views.  These high end and very limited parcels of real estate are hard to come by and always demand top dollar.  Many have old estate homes that are over or close to 100 years old and many of them are in need of updating or in some cases, demolition.  You will be hard pressed to find a piece of oceanfront Pebble Beach real estate for under $10,000,000, and most of the time they will run in the teens to low twenty million dollar range.

The hills above the Pebble Beach Lodge offer some of the best overall ocean views in all of Pebble Beach.  This real estate sits a couple of hundred feet above sea level and is really a nice vantage point to see the classic Pebble Beach ocean views of Point Lobos, Carmel Bay, Ghost Tree and Stillwater Cove.  Real Estate with these ocean views range dramatically in price depending on lot size, lot slope and the homes design and condition. Ocean view real estate here in Pebble Beach can range from $3,000,000 to over $15,000,000 for the right combination of home, lot and view.

Pasadera Country Club - Behind the Private Gates

When I think of Pasadera Country Club and the community behind the private gates including Pasadera Real Estate (the Villas, Super Villas and the Custom Homes) I think of the casual and elegant lifestyle it offers members and residents alike.  Located in the sunbelt, just 10 minutes from downtown Monterey and surrounding cities, Pasadera is a great central location for those who prefer to live close to the Monterey Peninsula, but just outside the reach of the summer fog.

Pasadera Country Club Clubhouse

The California Hacienda style clubhouse is beautiful and looks like it has been a part of the community for hundreds of years.  With a cobble stone courtyard with a large classic water fountain, rustic stucco walls and Spanish tile roof tops, Pasadera’s Club House looks like it is right out of an old western movie.  You would never know this entire development was started in 1999.

Inside the walls of the Pasadera Club house and recreational facilities, just renamed Nicklaus Club - Monterey, members will find all of the modern conveniences you would expect including a first class dining room with high ceilings, a great fireplace and tons of natural light, high quality and flexible banquet facilities, a comprehensive fitness center, multiple tennis courts with instruction, two pool complexes, men’s and women’s locker rooms, and of course a world class Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course.

Pasadera - Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf CoursePasadera Country Club's first hole and fairway

Pasadera’s golf course is a masterfully laid out track that takes the player on a journey through the California Coastal hillside it was built on.  The course par 71 layout is unique in many ways and includes 6 par 3’s, 5 par 5’s and 7 par 4’s and can play as short as 5,807 yards or 6,807 when stretched all the way out.  As you would expect from a signature course designed by Jack Nicklaus, this course requires the golfer to make risk reward decisions throughout the round and can be a very challenging round of golf.

The signature hole is the Par 3 14th hole which sits at the top of the 375 foot elevation range of the course.  You tee off from the top of a ridge and hit over a canyon to what appears to be a tiny little target of a green.  In reality, the green is ample size and a quality golf shot is rewarded with a putt at birdy.  Any fear or hesitation on the tee normally results in disaster! 

Hole #14 at Pasadera Country Club

Jack had this to say about Pasadera, “At Pasadera, we haven't changed the landscape to accommodate the golf course, but rather we have adapted the golf course to complement what Mother Nature has already created. By doing so, we have given players an opportunity to experience the truly unique qualities of golf on the Monterey Peninsula."

A round at Pasadera Country Club will expose you to a beautiful golf experience that will please your eyes and challenge the golfer inside you.  The course is free flowing with natural style bunkering, has an incredible 375 feet of elevation change and will leave the golfer with a memorable experience as only master course designer Jack Nicklaus can do.

If you are looking for a Monterey Luxury Home or a Monterey Golf Course Home and you want to live in the sunbelt but want to be close to all the Monterey Peninsula has to offer, the 575 acre Pasadera Country Club area might be the place for you.  The weather is typically 10 degrees warmer than downtown Monterey, and there are several housing options available.  Each offers ample space, newer construction and smart use of space and most importantly a lifestyle of casual elegance.

Our site offers the latest Pasadera Real Estate listings of homes, Condos, Villas and Super Villas available in Pasadera Country Club.
