Take three parcels of coastal land, two existing homes, and one buildable lot, and you have a legacy estate with stunning views of the Pacific Ocean.

Listed for $28.5 million, the 6.27-acre property on Highway One has a Monterey, CA, address, but listing agent Mike Gilson says everyone considers the coastal compound as part of Big Sur.

“It’s three separate, contiguous parcels. They’re all buildable or have been built on,” he says.

“On the point is this extraordinary little beach house, which probably sits closer to the ocean than any other home I’ve seen along the coast,” he says. “It’s almost like you’re on a boat at times just because you’re so close to the ocean.”

The beach house dates to the 1960s and features a round design with a kitchen, two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a fireplace.

“It’s right at the southern end of Garrapata Beach, which is a beautiful, giant white-sand beach that is open to the public, and the owners can access that beach very easily,” Gilson says.

The interior is dark wood and stone with a raised platform leading to huge windows and a deck near the rocks.

Near the beach house is what Gilson calls “the garage,” a flexible, open space clad with stone. The creative spot comes with a bedroom, bathroom, and nearby wine cellar.

“It’s one of the nicest garages you could imagine. It’s a beautiful space for meetings or whatever you like,” he says. “It has roll-down glass windows and all kinds of storage,” Gilson says

The estate’s main living quarters is a two-bedroom, two-bathroom house that was completed in 2009.

“It’s a more modern style compared to the beach house. It’s real clean with simple lines with a great view out toward the ocean and the rocks of Garrapata Creek,” Gilson explains.

Plus, there’s room to build even more.

“The beach house and the garage are on one parcel, and the new house and detached garage are on the first parcel. Between that, you have an open parcel, which could be developed,” Gilson explains.

Big Sur is a unique community that welcomes new residents and their contributions, Gilson says.

“It’s a really special place and would make a great family compound,” he says. “I think it’s so unique that [the perfect buyer] would be someone who would either be full time or near full time, at least that’s what we would hope. It’s not the kind of place that should sit empty.”
