Remarks

Dating back further than the scenic, winding path of Highway One, this six-parcel, 350-acre coastal ranch presents a colorful past and an even brighter future. Six unique homes, a magnificent redwood grove, and a private beach inhabit this serene stretch of land nestled between the canyon and cliffs of Big Sur. A private access road connects all of these homesites, where expansive decks overlook the diverse terrain and secluded paths allow for a lifestyle centered on the outdoors. With its use of rustic stone and wood, the original homestead proudly exhibits its rich history, while the more modern buildings gracefully complement it. Together, the property offers 12 bedrooms, 10.5 bathrooms, 2 pools (indoor and outdoor), and innumerable ocean vistas. Cherish the calming effect of year-round streams, hikes up Vineyard Canyon, and quick access to Highway One and fine dining - Post Ranch Inn and Nepenthe. The sprawling property leaves plenty of room for potential development. Whether you improve the family compound or create a new coastal masterpiece, an opportunity like this occurs once in a century. We look forward to welcoming you to the Newell Ranch!
