Big Sur

Experience one of the most dynamic meetings of land and sea on the planet.

Welcome to Big Sur

Head down the coast from Carmel past the Carmel Highlands and you’ll begin to experience one of the most dynamic meetings of land and sea on the planet, the Big Sur Coast. The history is immense, the elusive stories seem like folklore and the true locals blend in with nature yet stand out like a psychedelic painting. Big Sur is rugged, dynamic, difficult, and beautiful all at the same time.
 
As the coast twists and turns rises and falls you just need to look up into the hills of the Santa Lucia mountain range and see the homes perched atop the glorious hills and mountains. With unbelievable views of the Pacific Ocean and endless fresh sea air, these properties are the unique opportunities of Big Sur!
