Road to Mansfield Preserve

Located on Big Sur coast of California One-of-kind natural setting with complete privacy
How many places on Earth can you live that: have complete privacy and security; are surrounded by pristine wilderness and a pure spring fed stream; provide panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, which is walking distance to one of its most beautiful and powerful beaches in North America; and are located less than 90 minutes from the Carmel/Monterey area and 3 hours from San Francisco? The answer is one, this one, for sure, and very few if any others. The private, gated road to this 80-acre haven is located on Highway 1 approximately 7 miles south of Lucia on the Big Sur coast, near Pacific Valley.

Access by a low-impact road from California coast Highway 1
Automobile access from our locked gate on the Big Sur's Highway 1 winds up a mile long stretch overlooking the ocean and into a parking area amidst giant redwoods. This road has been heavily rocked and fitted with culverts and water control measures providing year-round access. Beyond this point, 3 structures on the bluffs and hills of the property are accessible by scenic trail system that can accommodate travelers on foot, horseback, trail bike, or motorcycle.
