51422 Partington Ridge

Set high on over two secluded acres along storied Partington Ridge lies a property that embodies the true spirit of Big Sur—wildly beautiful, deeply private, and profoundly inspiring, this extraordinary coastal retreat offers a rare opportunity to live immersed in the raw beauty that once inspired Henry Miller. Surrounded by towering redwoods and overlooking the vast Pacific, the property feels worlds away—yet remains moments from the iconic stretch of California State Route 1. The 3,399 square feet of living space, including an updated main residence featuring 2 bedrooms and 2.5 baths and cozy guest house, unfolds as a harmonious blend of natural materials and modern refinement. Striking stone archways frame open living spaces, echoing the rugged cliffs beyond. Expansive glass doors and picture windows invite in ever-changing light, drawing the outdoors into every room. The newly updated kitchen features elegant countertops, stainless appliances, and generous workspace, designed for gathering after long afternoons spent exploring the coastline. The entire upper level is devoted to a private primary suite retreat, complete with its own sitting room and deck suspended above canyon and ocean views. Here, mornings begin with coastal mist drifting below and evenings end beneath vivid sunsets that wash the horizon in color. Radiant heating, new flooring, and thoughtfully selected fixtures add comfort and polish while maintaining a relaxed, organic aesthetic. Life on Partington Ridge is defined by privacy, inspiration, and proximity to some of Big Sur’s most celebrated destinations, including Partington Cove, Post Ranch Inn, Ventana Big Sur, McWay Falls, Bixby Creek Bridge, and Point Sur Lighthouse. Approximately one hour from Carmel-by-the-Sea, this is a legacy property offering not just a home, but a way of life—where creativity flourishes, nature leads, and every day feels quietly extraordinary.
