Sobre Sur Grande lies on a flat parcel of land, 1200 ft above sea level with spectacular views of the Pacific as well as sunsets sunrises and in the fall, the moon setting over the sea. It is a luxury property in the wilderness yet only 25 minutes from Carmel or Big Sur State Park. The home is a sweet spot for families and groups to gather. A King Size Airloome organic cotton bed in the upstairs master suite, and a Stearns and Foster Cal King bed in the downstairs Master. Each suite is complimented with Yves de Lorme and Macy's Hotel Collection linens and other special touches. The third bedroom features a Simmons Black Queen bed, and all bedrooms have ocean views.
Located 1/2 way between Big Sur State Park and Carmel-by-the-Sea, La Casa Principal @ Sobre Sur Grande (above Big Sur) was lovingly restored from 2007 to 2010 initially by two yoga teachers, one of whom is a designer, the other an art collector. My goal was to create a unique combination of elegance, tranquility and simplicity in a most peaceful locale.
I wanted my home to be luxurious yet comfortable and in tune with the rugged privacy of Big Sur. La Casa Principal offers the Vermont Wood Castings stove complemented by on demand air conditioning/heating. There is top of the line LG washer/dryer, a compact yet complete chef's kitchen featuring All Clad cookware as well as everything you need for preparing a fine meal. A firm believer in indulgence and comfort, i've added Waterworks Satin Nickel bathroom fixtures and deep soaking tub, Yves deLorme and Bellora European linens and thick bath towels. The result is the best of both worlds, total comfort and rustic charm. La Casa Principal boasts a new dining room with an elegant Italian glass top table seating 10 or more. Downstairs, two bedrooms , one of which is a second two room master suite, provide for complete privacy even for a large group. Each bedroom features an incredibly comfortable bed: The upstairs master has an Airloome Eastern King, The downstairs master offers a Stearns and Foster Cal King, the third bedroom features a Simmons Black Queen. There are also two American Leather queen and a twin sleeper sofas.
La Casita's one bedroom is appointed with a Cal King Airloome organic cotton mattress, plus a twin American Leather sleeper sofa
In addition paintings from my collection (many of which are for sale) add a special touch.
Located on a promontory, 1200 feet above the Pacific, Sobre Sur Grande offers unobstructed views of the ocean, Rocky Creek Watershed and the Ventana Wilderness. Yet it is only 30 minutes from Carmel and a few more to the center of Big Sur, along one of most beautiful 'commutes' in the world. Choose to stay home watching the raptors glide on the thermals rising up from the canyon below, then call our private chef, yoga teachers and body workers to come to you. Plus you can walk out the door to wonderful hiking up to the ridge line or down to the ocean.. Or jump in your car for a lovely drive to Carmel for golf, wineries, shopping and an indulgent dinner.
Sobre Sur Grande is 2.5 miles up Palo Colorado Road, with it's majestic redwoods and year round creek, then an additional 3/10 miles up a private road. Mill Creek Redwood Preserve is close by and the Botcher's Gap access to Ventana Wilderness provides the most amazing hiking opportunities. Down at the coast, Rocky Creek Restaurant offers incredible ocean front views and a great place to walk (or drive) for breakfast. You're close to the best beach in Big Sur where Garrapata Creek empties into the Pacific. It's spectacular, yet completely accessible to families.
La Casa Principal is built into the hillside, so its two stories offer minimal environmental impact and maximum privacy.
Catering, Massage, and a variety of body work therapies can be arranged as can private yoga sessions. If I am in town, I offer my guests complimentary private yoga For a service charge plus food costs, we're happy to stock the refrigerator with adequate notice.
