Authentic Big Sur homestead designed and built by artist-designer Reed Cripe, a protege of Mickey Meunnig in the late 1970s 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 ocean. This Modern-Meets-Rustic home of redwood and glass takes in views from every room. The property also includes a 475 sqft artist studio. It’s located behind a private gated paved rd on the west side of Hwy 1. At 1,000 ft above sea level the property has 360-degree pristine views 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 & a variety of berries. The property offers miles of private hiking trails and a private rd to Pfeiffer Beach & the Big Sur River.
