Loma Vista Gardens is a generational asset at the heart of Big Sur. Originally established in 1908, it has operated continuously as a visitor-serving destination, first as an inn, diner, and nursery, and later as the home of the beloved Big Sur Bakery & Restaurant, a globally recognized culinary landmark. In 2024, tragedy struck when the Bakery was destroyed in a kitchen fire. This left a void in the Big Sur community, but has created an extraordinary opening to reimagine one of the most storied commercial properties on the California coast. Loma Vista is one of only approximately 14 commercially zoned properties along this stretch of Highway One, which attracts more than 7 million visitors annually. Its continuous commercial use and established footprint position it uniquely within a regulatory environment where new development is exceptionally constrained. Loma Vista is a direct neighbor to two of the most prestigious hospitality assets in North America: Ventana Big Sur, an Alila Resort, and Post Ranch Inn. Loma Vista is being offered with existing, income-producing businesses, including a well-established wedding venue, the historic Shell gas station, and five retail spaces, three of which will be delivered vacant, providing immediate leasing and repositioning upside.
Tucked a half mile off Highway 1 and just 10 miles south of Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park, this private hilltop retreat captures sweeping panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and surrounding Big Sur wilderness. This offering represents a 50% ownership interest in approximately 32 acres of shared land, with exclusive use of multiple thoughtfully designed structures and amenities. The two-story 1,500 sq ft main cabin includes 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, open living space with full kitchen, laundry facilities, wood-burning fireplace, and wraparound decks overlooking the ocean. A detached 900 sq ft guest duplex provides its own kitchen, living area, and bathroom. Solar-heated infinity pool, oversized hot tub, outdoor kitchen, lush gardens, and orchards with avocado, apple, and lemon trees. This off-grid sanctuary offers extraordinary Big Sur living with the benefits of co-ownership.
