Big Sur House | Work, write, create, or renew with a view! South Coast Big Sur; 30-NIGHT MINIMUM

2 Bedroom House in Big Sur

DUE TO THE RECENT MONTEREY COUNTY ORDINANCE BANNING SHORT TERM RENTALS IN BIG SUR, WE ARE NOW A 30-DAY MINIMUM RENTAL FOR UP TO 4 PEOPLE. NO SUBLETTING ALLOWED. OUR OFF GRID PROPERTY DOES NOT SUPPORT ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING.
Perfect hideaway to spend a month working from "heaven" with Starlink Internet access. Or, use the time and the inspiration to start that book you've always wanted to write. Or feel free to create: paint or draw seascapes and mountain views. Or simply renew and refresh in your own private, fully equipped retreat house: morning yoga on the deck, daily hikes at the beach or up mountain trails, calming and inspiring sunsets in the evening, star gazing at night. Whatever you can imagine, you can create it here!
Escape the crowds to the South Coast of Big Sur! Come stay at our peaceful retreat located near Plaskett Creek Campground, Sand Dollar Beach, and the place called Gorda.
LOCATION:
***BEFORE BOOKING THIS PROPERTY, PLEASE LOOK AT THE PICTURE OF THE MAP OF OUR LOCATION TO BE SURE THAT THIS LOCATION WILL WORK FOR YOU. ***
THINGS TO DO IN OUR AREA: You can walk on the local bluffs of Pacific Valley and explore Sand Dollar Beach and Willow Creek and Mill Creek Day Use Areas. Limekiln State Park has recently opened one hiking trail. There are two resorts nearby: Treebones Resort with restaurant and gift shop and Gorda Springs Resort with restaurant, small grocery store and gift shop, cafe, and gas station. A 15 minute drive south, you can hike the Cruickshank, Soda Springs, or Salmon Creek Trailheads into the Silver Peak Wilderness. You can drive south to explore the towns of Ragged Point (30 min), San Simeon (45 min), and Cambria (60 min). You can drive north to the towns of Big Sur (1hr), Carmel (1h30), and the Monterey area (1h45). Or, you can simply relax on the deck and enjoy the 180-degree view of the Pacific Ocean and Cone Peak by day and amazing star-filled nights, depending on the season. Summers can be foggy. Fall is warm and clear. Winter and spring are mild and can bring occasional rain. Whale watching from the deck!
ABOUT THE HOME: The home is perched 800 feet above the Pacific Ocean with ocean and mountain views from every room. As you head through the gate at the end of the driveway, you will pass through a small redwood forest which leads to the 1600 sq ft off the grid home powered by solar and propane. The spring water is filtered and UV treated. This rustic home features vaulted ceilings with lots of windows to let the beauty of Big Sur inside. Enjoy the view of Sand Dollar Beach and Cone Peak from the living room and kitchen! Each of the two bedrooms has an ocean view and queen beds (2016) and linens. The two full baths are nicely appointed. The deck has a table with 4 chairs and lounge chairs and propane BBQ with propane provided. The home is surrounded by Big Sur gardens that change with the seasons. Includes STARLINK Internet Access, an internet-based telephone and limited cell phone reception from the deck. Wifi calling is available. 55" Smart TV with a collection of DVDs. The home has on-site caretakers who share the driveway and live in the caretaker house located about 150 feet from the main house, behind a privacy fence.
ABOUT THE DIRT ROAD ACCESS: Located off of Highway 1 about one mile up a public dirt road, 4WD or AWD highly recommended! (4WD/AWD REQUIRED IN RAIN DUE TO RUTS AND SLIPPERY ROAD). In addition, for your planning, Highway 1 can be closed on very short notice in the winter (generally January-March) during extra heavy rainstorms due to possible mud and rock slides.
If you are looking for a peaceful retreat, and are up for a bit of adventure getting there, our home awaits you!

Summary: A peaceful respite. Everything was fantastic. It's a little rugged to reach, but this is explained up front and the adventure was welcomed. We stayed for 2 nights and had many plans to visit the beach, go hiking, etc. We ended up not wanting to leave so we just hung around the house and had a necessary recharge. We will be back, thank you!
