Big Sur Stone House is available in 2026 for events and 31 day rentals.
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. Guests often say that this is the most beautiful spot they have found in round the world travels.
Big Sur Stone House is available for individual and family events, weddings, stays and retreats. Other non-event stays for individuals, couples, or groups are set at a 31 day minimum.
The fully refundable damage deposit for long term stay is $500 The cleaning fee is $350. The pet fee is $250 per pet.
There is separate contract for long term stay.
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 home built with stones from the property itself was designed by its architect-owner who specializes in passive solar 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).
Located in Big Sur, this vacation home is in the mountains and near the beach. New Camaldoli Hermitage and Mission San Antonio de Padua are local landmarks, and the area's natural beauty can be seen at Limekiln State Park and Limekiln State Wilderness. Discover the area's water adventures with kayaking and snorkeling nearby, or enjoy the great outdoors with hunting and hiking/biking trails.
