With more than 180 degrees of stunning open ocean & whitewater views up and down the most iconic stretch of the Big Sur coast, this humble cabin built in 1950 looks over and directly into the natural wonder that is Big Sur. Located minutes off of Hwy 1 on Partington Ridge and accessed by a gated paved road and driveway, this private hideaway has views that rival any place on Earth. The charming redwood cabin once housed Henry Miller, and has been a source of divine inspiration for many others. A huge brick fireplace anchors the center of the home, next to a kitchen outfitted with a Wolf stove and a Subzero fridge. The wraparound deck is where the jaw dropping views to infinity present themselves, over and over. Just below the house, a citrus orchard thrives in a banana belt micro-climate which is ideal for growing food, In the rugged, forested canyon above the property, pristine pure fresh water flows year round into Partington Ridge's Mutual Water system, which provides plentiful water to the property, and is said to be the best water system on the coast.
This is an extremely rare property, one of only 3 or 4 with this holy ridge's unique 180+ degree views. As such, whether one restores the cabin or leans into a remodel, with views this spectacular, it's very hard to go wrong.
