This 1930 Big Sur log cabin comes with ocean view, loads of charm for $2.8 million
A 90-year-old log cabin in the heart of Big Sur is available for $2.8 million.
In 1930, area pioneer Sam Trotter built the rustic house, which has been restored. The 2,400-square-foot home at 3 Coastlands Drive has three bedrooms and 2.5 baths and sits on just over two acres of land with ocean views.
Nestled into a redwood forest, the house is located in the exclusive Coastlands subdivision at the end of a private gated road between the famous Nepenthe restaurant and Post Ranch hotel. A private trail winds to the beach.
This compound was originally built with redwood and river rocks and features original and vintage Douglas fir flooring, according to a representative for Compass, which holds the listing.
Described as a “magical” place, there is an over-sized river stone fireplace in the living room, which opens to a treetop deck providing ocean views. The home also includes a swing bed, a grass-covered sitting deck and a garden hot tub and shower. A yoga room rounds out the charm.
Compass agents Mark Peterson and Dana Bambace have the listing.
