39320 Coast Rd, Monterey, CA 93940

Beneath the iconic Bixby Creek Bridge, nestled against a redwood forest, is a rare opportunity to own part of Big Surs historic coastline. One of only seven homes behind this gated road, this retreat offers two parcels, creekside trails, and access to the beach beneath Bixby Creek Bridge. The single-level, three-bedroom, two-bath home offers 1,489 sq/ft with vaulted ceilings, picture windows, three wood-burning fireplaces, and a wraparound porch overlooking the landscape. Set on 0.79 acres and offered with an adjacent 0.346-acre creekside parcel, the property is move-in ready with a private well, septic, and electricity. Just five minutes from Highway 1, the home sits within a privately owned canyon enclave of more than 140 acres, shared by property owners. Adjacent Brazil Ranch provides 1,200 acres of Forest Service land for hiking, hunting, and recreation. Direct access to the Old Coast Road offers miles of biking, horseback riding, and outdoor exploration. Carmel, Monterey, and Big Surs celebrated restaurants and state parks are about 20 minutes away. The canyons literary legacy includes Jack Kerouac, whose time here inspired his novel Big Sur. Whether imagined as a full-time residence or coastal retreat, this is a rare chance to join one of Big Surs most prized enclaves.
