SANCTUARY AT MOLERA: Located on a private gated road that stretches from Pfeiffer Beach to The River Inn, this 5 acre ultra-quiet & private Big Sur homestead borders Andrew Molera State Park's nearly 5000 acres of wildlands, beaches, and river. Yet, it is also minutes by car from the storied gathering places and provisions of the Big Sur valley. From the house, stunning views of sacred Pico Blanco mountain tower over epic views of the Big Sur river valley and its rolling hills and watersheds. This is the setting where a beloved Big Sur couple (of artists!) built their dream home in 1993, and have lovingly cared for it ever since. The home they built is a fully permitted, impossibly humble and rustic abode with decks and garden paths connecting magical handbuilt rooms that exude that old school Big Sur essence that is becoming increasingly rare. The almost 2000 sq ft are made up of 3 BR / 2 Bath's, a cozy kitchen & dining room, a multilevel living room, mud room, and detached artist studio...all solar powered. The grand primary bedroom with claw foot tub features a central fireplace and glass ceiling for truly epic stargazing from bed. A surprisingly large portion of the 5 acres is flat or gently sloped making this property a dreamy canvas for future expansion, and creative use.

Loma Vista Gardens is a generational asset at the heart of Big Sur. Originally established in 1908, it has operated continuously as a visitor-serving destination, first as an inn, diner, and nursery, and later as the home of the beloved Big Sur Bakery & Restaurant, a globally recognized culinary landmark. In 2024, tragedy struck when the Bakery was destroyed in a kitchen fire. This left a void in the Big Sur community, but has created an extraordinary opening to reimagine one of the most storied commercial properties on the California coast. Loma Vista is one of only approximately 14 commercially zoned properties along this stretch of Highway One, which attracts more than 7 million visitors annually. Its continuous commercial use and established footprint position it uniquely within a regulatory environment where new development is exceptionally constrained. Loma Vista is a direct neighbor to two of the most prestigious hospitality assets in North America: Ventana Big Sur, an Alila Resort, and Post Ranch Inn. Loma Vista is being offered with existing, income-producing businesses, including a well-established wedding venue, the historic Shell gas station, and five retail spaces, three of which will be delivered vacant, providing immediate leasing and repositioning upside.
