A
one-of-a-kind coastal retreat in Big Sur has hit the market for $3.265 million. Perched atop California's rugged coastline, the three-bedroom "Barrel House" was handcrafted from two massive redwood wine barrels by local architect Mickey Meunnig in 1980.

    The property remains untouched since its construction and is now available for public sale for the first time. The main residence boasts 1,940 square feet of living space, set amidst five acres of land. To access this secluded gem, one must navigate through a private road within Big Sur's forested enclave of Pfeiffer Point.

    Upon entering the property, visitors are greeted by a spacious living area with floor-to-ceiling windows offering breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean and surrounding landscape. A south wing features an additional living space with vaulted ceilings and a floating staircase leading to an office loft.

    The primary bedroom is situated upstairs, complete with an en-suite bath featuring a rock tile shower and two-person tub. The secondary bedroom shares a wrap-around deck with panoramic views. Elsewhere on the property, a one-bedroom guest cottage offers a full kitchen, outdoor dining area, and direct access to a hiking trail leading to a private beach below Pfeiffer Point.

    The grounds are meticulously landscaped with native flora, including oak woodland, redwood forest, and raised vegetable beds. The Barrel House is a true haven for nature lovers and those seeking an exclusive coastal retreat.
