Welcome to one of the most unique offerings in Big Sur! Tucked along the legendary Highway 1 coastline, this rare property offers a front-row seat to one of the world’s most awe-inspiring landscapes — where ancient redwoods, rugged cliffs, and the Pacific Ocean converge in breathtaking harmony. Revered as a global destination for artists, adventurers, and seekers of seclusion, Big Sur is home to just a handful of residents, preserving its unmatched privacy and raw natural beauty. Just minutes from iconic landmarks like Bixby Creek Bridge and Pfeiffer Beach, this is more than a home — it’s a gateway to world-class hiking, whale watching, and stargazing beneath one of California’s clearest dark skies. With limited development allowed in this protected region, properties like this are exceedingly rare. The estate itself carries the spirit of Big Sur’s famed architectural tradition, led by renowned architect Mickey Muennig, whose organic, imaginative designs have defined the region’s identity for decades. Like Muennig’s celebrated works, the structures here embrace harmony with nature — curved forms, natural materials, and fluid lines that echo the rugged beauty of the coast. Set across 5 private acres behind a gated road, the property includes three unique dwellings. The primary residence, known as “The Barrel House,” expands over 2,000 square feet with panoramic ocean views, two living rooms, and a large deck for seamless indoor-outdoor living. Upstairs, three bedrooms feature floor-to-ceiling windows framing oak trees, valleys, and the Pacific beyond. Complementing the main house is a fully equipped yurt with kitchen, bathroom, and lofted bedroom, along with a second, more intimate Barrel House perched at one of the property’s highest points. A separate workshop and caretaker’s quarters complete the estate — ensuring privacy, creativity, and year-round stewardship in a setting where architecture and nature meet in perfect balance. Shows are available to private appointment, please feel more than welcome to reach out for additional details.
