Introducing a new standard of luxury in the mountains of Big Sur. Just a short drive from Carmel and Pebble Beach, Bixby Creek Ranch provides a one-of-a-kind family compound with possibly the best views and setting on the Central Coast. Sited on 78 acres adjoining an additional 300 glorious acres of private preserve with true panoramic views spanning from iconic Bixby Bridge, rolling Santa Lucia Mountains, and the endless Pacific Ocean to the west. The property encompasses 6 main structures, consisting of the main house, guest cottage, library/studio, two yurts, and a beautiful pre-Civil War era barn from Ohio that was meticulously deconstructed and re-milled to its current glorious state. One could spend years walking the trails, exploring the land, and never experience the same day… witness heavenly cloud banks floating below, walk to several vista points each with uniquely unobstructed views, and host friends and family from your choice of wonderful indoor/outdoor living spaces, all thoughtfully designed by renowned architect, Mary Ann Schicketanz. Bixby Creek Ranch is a legacy property the likes of which is rarely seen and offers a serene, comfortable lifestyle sure to inspire daily from sunrise to sunset.
Two full and two queen beds in the main house. California king bed and queen sofa in the guest house. Additional sleeping accommodations available if needed.
REVIEWS
★★★★★
Spectacular property situated above Bixby Bridge overlooking pacific and coastal ranges. The property is high enough that it remains sunny and warm, sitting above the clouds and fog often covering the Carmel and Monterey regions. Remote, isolated, private ranch with a stunning grand room for entertaining and a separate recreation center for daytime pleasure (billiards, gym, kitchen, movie viewing, etc). It has an enormous professional chef's kitchen with all necessary utensils. Points of caution to note: it is an odd sleeping layout where guests are spread out over several different cottages situated on a large ranch. This can be experienced as a positive (for grown couples seeking privacy during a visit) or a bit awkward for families with younger children. For our trip it was perfect, with several older family members.
★★★★★
This property is truly amazing! It is amazingly peaceful, with great access to nature and jaw dropping views, especially at sunset. The main house and other structures are very nice, with high quality furniture and decor. They definitely feel like a luxury property. There is no cell service, but the wifi worked great in each building. We had a fantastic stay - the sunsets alone would have been worth the trip. A few things to know: The property is pretty remote, 15 minutes off the main highway up a one lane windy road. It's not difficult to find, but it is not super convenient for frequent trips into Carmel or Big Sur. We went down about once a day, and that was plenty. It's hard to tell this from the pictures, but the two bedrooms in the main house share a bathroom, and you have to go through one to get to the other unless you use an outside entrance. The yurt is also not pictured, but was a fantastic place for one of our guests to stay!
