Big Sur Real Estate

In Big Sur California you will find ocean front and ocean view homes for sale, land, ranches and forested property.

It is a rare visitor to the Big Sur area who doesn't daydream as he cruises along the magnificent coast what it would be like to have his own snug retreat overlooking the sea.

Though they are mostly out of sight of the casual observer, many private residences--from rustic cottages to luxury compounds--are tucked away here and there amid the splendor.

Large-scale development has been successfully opposed by locals for decades. When big parcels of former ranchland have come up for sale, many of them were purchased by conservation groups, such as the Big Sur Land Trust, to be preserved as open land with public access. Others were donated to the state to be added to the state park system.

Add to this the extensive acreage of the Ventana Wilderness and it becomes clear that properties listed for sale at any given time are probably not numerous.

But there are opportunities for the patient home buyer to realize his dream. The rewards are well worth pursuing.

Ask the locals chatting at the post office or library. They'll tell you that the south coast has many moods that only the year-round residents can know. A roaring winter storm lashing the windows with wind-driven rain is just as unforgettable as a summer afternoon of balmy delights. This special community of individualists, artists, writers and lovers of nature waits to welcome others who bring a dedicated appreciation for their cherished corner of the world.

A realtor with specific experience and knowledge of the region can best guide you through the process of achieving your own Big Sur dream.
