Big Sur Beautiful Ocean View Private Stone House Estate

Big Sur Stone House is fully accessible from the South on Highway 1.
CalTrans announced the work on” Paul's Slide” near Lucia will open on June 23, 2024.
With the reopening of Paul's Slide, a 6.8-mile segment of Highway 1 will continue to remain closed due to ongoing repairs at Regent's Slide at Post Mile (PM) 27.8. Caltrans estimates it will complete repairs at Regent's Slide in late fall, which will open Highway 1 to direct travel along the entire run of the Big Sur coast between Cambria and Carmel.
__________________________
Big Sur Stone House is a fully sustainable ocean view home in the center of a wide marine terrace with uninterrupted views of the Pacific coast to each far horizon.
One can hear the waves and watch the surf from seven rooms of the house.
The gardens and grounds of the forty acre property adjoining the protected lands of the Los Padres National Forest create a completely secure enclave above the Pacific Coast Highway. The property is available for long term stays and events; guests at the house often say that this is the most beautiful spot they have ever found in round the world travels.

Sole access is by private gated road. The property has easy direct entry from Highway 1 by car, no need for a four wheel drive. You can even arrive in a helicopter if you wish. We have an area for that and one of our favorite guests arrives that way.

The off-grid, three-bedroom stone-built home was designed by an architect who specializes in sustainable architecture. The house is built in three closely connected but separate wings for the maximum amount of quiet and privacy, each with full direct views of the ocean. The Cottage Wing includes the kitchen, dining area, laundry, bedroom and full bath. The Studio Wing includes a large library and media room with a half bath; the adjacent Main Bedroom and full bath has single spa tub. A few feet away wholly separate stone walled Sunset Room has a magnificent view of the ocean waves and the moon and stars at night from the queen bed. There are also ocean views from the Sunset room bath and shower.

The house complex has a fully stocked library, including a complete collection of music CDs, an extensive DVD film collection. The house has wireless WIFI and HDTV satellite service.

The house has radiant floor heating throughout with tile and maple floors. The bathrooms and kitchen are served by both conventional and reverse osmosis water systems and have granite and onyx counter-tops.

Hiking trails for the Los Padres National Forest begin at the entrance to the private driveway.

There is a wide meadow to west of the house that accesses the coastal cliffside. There are two sets of wooden steps that allow one to cross a fence to enter the meadow and walk to the cliffside. The cliffside path has a descent of about 30 feet to the undeveloped beach which has many small rocky coves. The size of the sandy areas of the beach varies with the time of the daily high and low tides.

A popular public surfing beach, San Dollar State Beach, is 1.3 miles south of Big Sur Stone House and can be reached by biking or by car. Para-gliding the ocean thermals above the property is also a popular local sport.
Big Sur Stone House is 31 miles from the small shops and stores of Big Sur, the Post Ranch Inn, the Ventana Inn and Spa, and Nepenthe Restaurant. The house is 40 miles north from Cambria, California. It is approximately one and one half hours from Paso Robles Wine country (29.6 miles); three and half hours north of Santa Barbara (179 miles), and approximately four and a half hours north of Los Angeles (273 miles).
Make yourself comfortable in this vacation home, which features a fireplace. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. The bathroom with a shower/tub combination features a jetted bathtub and a hair dryer.
Enjoy recreation amenities such as a spa tub or take in the view from a garden.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Peaceful location
My family and I (8 adults total -they made a special acceptation for us for an extra fee) had a lovely stay at the Big Sur Stone house celebrating my daughter and my birthday. This beautiful location can not be beat - the outdoor set up is great and we spent a lot of time outdoors. Note the outdoor tub only accommodates 2 people at a time. The indoor areas are sufficient, one downside being that the bedroom in the kitchen section is not private and is open to the kitchen, which was not ideal. However, we wanted time away with each other in a peaceful and beautiful environment and we got that here. Cleanliness given 4 stars because this is a remote location and inevitably dust gets into the house. Also the kitchen could use a deep cleaning. Pros of the kitchen are the appliances (note the fridge makes noise running at night, which is tough for light sleepers - we used a fan and white noise machine to block the sound), the numerous spices onsite, and the pots and pans were good quality. We also had lots of fun playing games at the table in the living room that comfortably accommodated all of us. If you are looking for a quiet retreat with gorgeous views and are amenable to the uniqueness of an off-grid place, this might be the place for you.

Great, remote spot with amazing views.
We had a small family gathering and this property worked out perfectly for us. Ana was excellent with her communication and we arrived well informed for our stay. Good wifi and no problems getting calls. We even got to stream the season opener of our local AHL team without any issues. Sunsets are gorgeous and the coastal views are breathtaking.

Serene and Peaceful
The design and management of the property fits perfectly with the somewhat remote location. Make sure to plan for groceries ahead of time. Once you're settled in, you're going to want to stay that way. The host do not expect you to clean the property for them which is pretty awesome in comparison to other, similar properties. All in all, 10/10 would stay there again.

Amazing view!
My husband and I along with another couple stayed 4 days at Stone House. Hwy 1 was closed just north of the house and initially we were bummed we couldn’t go in that direction. But we found so many great hiking trails right around us and the area did not disappoint. The house is unique in its set up and very well appointed. So nice to have such a well stocked kitchen too. Stone House is an amazing place to call home while visiting the Big Sur area. The views are too gorgeous for words. Ana is so nice and a great communicator. I highly recommend Stone House!!

Dreamy Big Sur Holiday
What an incredibly special property and exceptionally beautiful place to ring in the New Year. Even in the cold and rain, the majesty of Big Sur was all around us. Ana is nothing short of a fabulous hostess. She was so available to us for any questions or thoughts. She left us wine and flowers upon arrival. The home was beautifully stocked with kitchen items but also books, and music. We loved it and hope to be back soon!

Big Sur Family Getaway
We stayed at the Stone House for 5 nights in early August 2021. The location and views are picture perfect. Every day and at times of day looked like a post card in every direction. And, the best part were the epic night skies, as there is essentially zero light pollution for miles and miles and miles in every directions. We were blown away by the night sky and especially how bright the Milky Way was. It was even darker here than a place we stayed far off the grid in Joshua Tree the following week. This would be an epic place for watching a meteor shower. The house is as described with 3 separate buildings and, while it's not fancy, it was very charming. Again, however, this is a property that's all about the views and immediate access to hiking trails, the Big Sur coastline and charming towns, and especially the gorgeous Sand Dollar Beach. Our 14 year old son surfed 3 of the 5 days we were there and absolutely loved it. Every room has epic views of the coastline. We cooked nearly all our meals on property and used the grill almost daily. The kitchen and fridge in particular are a bit small but we made do with the available space. The kitchen is pretty well stocked with cutlery, kitchen knives, platters, etc. The den area has a tv, sound system and hundreds of movies on disc but we spent nearly all our time outside. There's also a dining table looking out at the ocean. Beds and bedding were pretty comfortable. Bathrromw Overall, the property is great.

Our family had a wonderful relaxing week at this spectacular location. The view is breathtaking. We only left twice, once into Big Sur for lunch and the other down to San Simeon for lunch/ wine tasting. The house is very comfortable and fully stocked with towels, kitchen items for food prep, books and movies. There is an outdoor tub to take in the amazing view. Very quiet. Ana was very responsive when we called about internet usage. She had left us fresh flower and a bottle of wine . We will definitely book this home again!
