About this home
A rare opportunity to own 20.11 acres in one of the world’s most extraordinary coastal settings. Framed by sweeping 360-degree views of the Santa Lucia Mountains and the iconic Big Sur coastline, this remarkable property offers an exceptional sense of privacy, scale, and connection to nature. Envision a secluded architectural residence, family compound, or restorative retreat shaped by dramatic ridgelines, ocean horizons, and ever-changing light. WSC/40 (Rural Watershed and Scenic Conservation) zoning provides potential for a single-family residence, guest accommodations, garages, workshops, accessory structures, and agricultural uses, subject to applicable governmental approvals and development requirements. Ideally positioned approximately 15 minutes from Ventana Big Sur and Big Sur Bakery, and about one hour south of Carmel, the property offers peaceful seclusion without sacrificing access to celebrated resorts, acclaimed dining, and world-class hiking. Opportunities of this scale and setting are increasingly rare along the Big Sur coast. This is more than land. This is your chance to build a private sanctuary and enduring legacy in one of California’s most coveted destinations.
