Escape to this majestic, two-story cottage nestled in mythic Big Sur. From two sprawling decks, vistas of the Pacific Ocean, Santa Lucia mountaintops, golden sunsets, and no neighboring homes. Natural light provides a respite from glowing screens. Nestled above the trees, glass walls and skylights allow you to sleep among the trees and under the stars. Well-equipped kitchen with a rustic redwood living-edge countertop. Spacious and level lawn, terraces of native trees, and raised beds allow you to melt into your natural surroundings on four acres of redwoods, oaks, and fruit trees. Well-maintained entrance road and nearby fire station. Fine dining and shopping in Carmel and Pebble Beach are a short drive away within the desirable Carmel School District.
