Property description
Perched on a towering 250-foot bluff along Big Sur's rugged coastline, the Cliff House captures sweeping, unobstructed ocean views from nearly every room. Set directly on iconic Highway 1, the property delivers rare privacy and solitude while remaining just 15 minutes to Big Sur and 25 minutes to Carmel. The main residence offers a spacious primary suite with en-suite bath, a second bedroom, full guest bathroom, and a den, all oriented to the sea plus attached guest retreat or studio complete with kitchenette, full bath, and a private ocean-view deck. A stone fireplace anchors the living room, while modern infrastructure includes Starlink high-speed internet and an off-grid solar power system.
