Big Sur Living Architecture: $6,950,0001 (pic heavy)

Big Sur Living Architecture. Perched above the typical fog line, this exceptional land was chosen and developed by world-renowned architect Mickey Muennig as his personal home, with three inspired, rustic, passive solar residences: the Main House built into the mountainside with an arched skylight and sod garden roof, the iconic and celestial Glass House, and the multi-level Caretaker's House. At just under 30 acres there are sunlit ridges, magical redwood & oak forests, flat usable land by Big Sur standards, a peaceful year-round pond ideal for swimming in the summer months, and expansive views of the coastline north, south, and west to the setting sun, where often the only sounds are the waves crashing below. Easy access up a private, paved & gravel, gated road. Perfect for year-round living or a vacation retreat. Come be the next steward of this amazing paradise, and a part of the unique Partington Ridge community with a long legacy of being home to famous artists & writers.

I'm not sure what the structure is that is suspended from the ceiling. If it's a sleeping platform, no thanks.

the ladder up to it is an artfully designed accident waiting to happen.

Climate change makes even subdivisions of cookie cutter houses in the California suburbs subject to mass destruction in wildfires. Homes like the one pictured are in even greater jeopardy. I guarantee fire insurance will be unavailable at any price that even someone who can afford to buy will ind reasonable. Still, a beautiful place in a beautiful place

My wife doesn’t want to live in some isolated place that’s more than a 15 minute walk to the center of town….

Oh, and it would help if the down payment weren’t more than $2500.00
