Backed into the hip of Clear Ridge like a stubborn Badger insisting on a southern exposure and an ocean view; stands the house at 'On a Clear Ridge'. The sod roof renders an undisturbed profile when viewed from the north. At the south elevation a series of glass fronted rooms and redwood decks stretches from east to west and gathers in the southern sun.

All rooms enjoy views and perspectives unique to this property. A Dining Room sits apart and a 270° view insures a sunrise to sunset and mountain to ocean panorama. The fully appointed kitchen is arranged around a central island and includes a breakfast bar. Cooking is with gas.

An open, spacious living room is still 'cozy' thanks to a fireplace flanked by generous fully upholstered built-in Bancos. A house built into a ridge where every room has a view necessitates a long hallway.

This connecting element and its sky lighting allows generous storage to one side and access to 3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, a lounge area and office with desk with internet access. Included with these is the Master Bedroom with a writing desk, built-in reading seat, and a skylight overhead for star gazing at night. The Master Bath allows indoor or outdoor showering.

A 2 car garage insures protected entry and provides access to the kitchen thru a double pantry. The washer and dryer and dry firewood are located here as well.
The southern exposed exterior is graced by redwood decks and stone terraces punctuated by a naturally fragrant herbal landscape. Sunbathing here is healing and private.

You are never out of view of the ocean and a 10 minute walk puts your toes in the sands of Pfeiffer Beach.

Weddings, and other events are not currently permitted on Clear Ridge due to the logistics of parking, local traffic on a difficult one lane road, neighbors privacy, etc.
In keeping with the spirit of small families and and a few couples we are careful not to disturb a very serene landscape. Please, no drones!!!

Minimum rental period is 30 days per community rules.
Check in time is 4 pm and check out is 11 am.

    Just beautiful setting and views. Just a very relaxing escape. Outdoor furniture could be better and an outdoor dining table would be awesome, but all in all a great place, no doubt.

    Our first time to Big Sur so we were not sure what to expect. If you are afraid of a narrow drive along the precipice then this place is not for you. For us it was perfect solitude with a view to die for. Pfeiffer Beach was on our agenda each morning before heading out for hiking. There are a variety of hikes for every taste in Big Sur. The shops in Carmel is less than an hour drive for the ultimate shopping. Big Sur lacks in variety of dining but cooking in is an easy option if you make sure an shop in Carmel before arriving. For privacy and a view to die for this is the place to go. Thank you for sharing this most wonderful place.

    This Pacific overlooking property is a rare find, not only for Big Sur, but for the world. The hot tub nearly vertically above Pfeiffer Beach, where The Terror and The Sandpiper were filmed, offers an extraordinary view. The road in is not for feint of heart; conversely the trip in for us was a delight and offered no hindrance-day or night. If you want to experience Big Sur the way it should , this property is a must.

    Absolutely stunning location. My expectations were high--I live in the area and am used to spending time in Big Sur--but even the amazing pictures don't do this place justice. My friends and I were flat-out depressed at having to leave and reintegrate our usual lives! I can't recommend this majestic and serene rental enough.

    I arranged this rental for a client of mine and he loved it. His comments: The view was fantastic, the accommodations comfortable and the living area is an incredibly cozy place to relax. The area was so beautiful and we had an amazing trip. Thanks for everything Jay!

    Everything about this house was perfect. We were a group of 6 adults and 2 infants and would've stayed all month if we'd know what a treat we were in for. The location was incredible - as long as it wasn't foggy there were whales for us to spy on basically at any time - the views were incredible, the sound of the ocean killed us all to sleep each night. The house itself was big enough for one screaming baby to not disrupt the other but we never felt too far apart. Delicious meals were cooked, long walks taken, and great times had. The owners were extremely helpful and friendly. No complaints across the board - we can't wait to return!

    We just returned from a lengthy visit to CA. One of our stops was at this house atop the ridge. It is remote and perched high up with a gorgeous view down to the beach. You could hike down, but after hiking in Pfeiffer State Park, we were afraid we wouldn't make it back up, we were already exhausted. We thought next time..... Great hiking all around the area. The house is well appointed and very comfortable. One lucky couple, my husband and I, got the master bedroom with unbelievable views. The skylight in the picture does not disturb your slumber. We slept well and late, comfy bed in the master. Our friends took the other bedroom with two smaller beds (queen sized). While their room was larger and they had the TV, I think the bed seemed small. They didn't mind at all and in fact, slept well. The house may be a tad dated, but overall very comfortable. We enjoyed the beautiful vistas. And, our contact person was great. Overall, a very nice experience here. We hope to return someday. Tips: purchase your groceries in Carmel (WHOLE FOODS) if you are coming from the North. The nearest grocery store is about an hour away. We bought food for both nights (of course the days, too) we were at the house. We didn't want to venture down the driveway at night and go to dinner. Besides, when you are in such a lovely setting, why leave. We grilled steaks, the grill worked well.
