Property Description
La Vida del Sur
Authentic Big Sur homestead designed and built by artist-designer Reed Cripe, a protégé of Mickey Meunnig in the late 1970’s during the Bohemian Era of his career, offers a rare view of the Los Padres National Forest and Santa Lucia Mountain range crowned by the spiritual Pico Blanco – along with a peak of the Pacific Ocean. With 1,500 square feet of living space, this Modern-Meets-Rustic home of redwood and glass takes in views from every room. The property also includes a separate 475 square-foot artist studio.
A secluded and private sanctuary, yet in the heart of Big Sur, La Vida del Sur is located behind a private gated paved road on the west side of Highway One. At 1,000 feet above sea level the property has 360-degree pristine views both day and night with an awe-inspiring night sky.
Surrounded by scenic protected lands and bordering Andrew Molera State Park, the 5-acre estate serves as a wildlife habitat while featuring extensive botanical gardens and a mature fruit orchard including apple, pear, plum, peach, citrus and a variety of grapes and berries. The property also offers miles of private hiking trails and a private road to Pfeiffer Beach as well as to the Big Sur River.
Affordable quality water is provided by a private mutual water system with power from solar energy and propane. Satellite and cellular technology are in use.
The peaceful, magical La Vida del Sur gives its inhabitants a window on the extraordinary beauty of Big Sur and its captivating, ever-changing natural world.
