Bixby Canyon, Big Sur, California

2.03 acres with Development Permit.

Between the Old Coast Road and Bixby Beach is a celebrated community that gave the Beat poets, writers
and artists their voice and the alternative vision that gave birth to the 60's hippie dream.

Within this wooded enclave runs a fast flowing creek to a wide sandy beach alongside the private walking
trail that leads under the world famous Bixby Bridge.

Bixby Creek and private Bixby Beach

The Old Coast road is the county road that climbs the Serra Hill and then drops down to the Little Sur River and thence to the Big Sur River at what is now Andrew Molera State Park. This was the old horse & wagon road to Big Sur before the Highway One was constructed and the Bixby Bridge straddled the wide canyon.

In the 1950's an eclectic group of like-minded bohemians bought the canyon from the original owners who ran a resort and hotel through the early part of the 20th. century. They divided the flat areas along the creek into 2 or 3 acre parcels and dedicated the mountainous canyon walls and the road to the beach as a private preserve for the use of the property owners.

This early preservation was at the forefront of a movement back to the land where fresh clean water and air is abundant and natural beauty a backdrop to everyday living. It remains today in the same pristine condition.

This 2.03 acre parcel is at the end of the private road and is the last undeveloped parcel in the Bixby Canyon Community.

The County has already issued a Combined Development Permit for a 2500sq.ft. home and a bridge accross the creek. The year round creek is your front yard and the creekside trail takes you in just a few minutes to a beach of such breath-taking beauty where the kids can play in the sand as you contemplate natures marvels.

This area is just 15 minutes to Carmel yet a million miles away.
