About this home
Seller financing may be available, offering a flexible path to ownership of one of Big Sur’s most distinctive coastal estates. Set along the legendary Highway 1 corridor, this remarkable property captures the soul of Big Sur — where ancient redwoods, rugged cliffs, and the Pacific Ocean come together in a setting of rare natural drama. Long admired by artists, visionaries, and those drawn to privacy and beauty, Big Sur remains one of California’s most protected and tightly held coastal enclaves. Set behind a gated road on 5 private acres, the estate is a compelling blend of architecture, landscape, and retreat. Its design reflects the legacy of Big Sur’s storied architectural tradition, with clear influence from the organic philosophy championed by renowned architect Mickey Muennig. Curved forms, natural materials, and flowing lines create a built environment that feels deeply connected to the land itself. At the heart of the property is the main residence, “The Barrel House,” offering more than 2,000 square feet with sweeping ocean views, two living areas, and a spacious deck designed for effortless indoor-outdoor living. Upstairs, three bedrooms are framed by floor-to-ceiling windows that capture views of oak trees, rolling valleys, and the Pacific beyond. The estate also includes a fully equipped yurt with its own kitchen, bathroom, and lofted bedroom, as well as a second, smaller Barrel House set near one of the property’s highest vantage points. A separate workshop and caretaker’s quarters add further flexibility and function, making this a rare opportunity for those seeking a private compound defined by creativity, serenity, and a profound connection to the Big Sur landscape. Private showings are available by appointment. Reach out for additional details.
