Set along one of Big Sur's iconic ridges, just minutes from Highway One, this 1950's 1 bed, 1 bath cottage has timeless charm and undeniable potential. Filled with abundant natural light, the home features modern amenities, terracotta, redwood, and brick accents, and ample windows that frame spectacular 180-degree ocean and whitewater views. A light-filled sunroom welcomes you in and flows into the living room, where vaulted wood ceilings and ocean-facing windows create a warm, elevated atmosphere. At the center, a large brick-faced fireplace adorns the space, with the kitchen appointed with a Wolf stove and Sub-Zero refrigerator positioned to the right, and seamless access to the outdoors on the left. The property is enhanced by a thriving citrus orchard and benefits from Partington Ridge's Mutual Water system, ensuring a reliable, year-round source of fresh water. A spacious deck and patio invite outdoor living, while a paved, gated road provides both ease and privacy to the home itself. Truly an inspiring canvas, whether through preservation or thoughtful updates, this property is like no other.
