Located on South Coast Big Sur, this Off-the-grid house sits on top of a hill with expansive ocean views.
The space
The cottage has a one-bedroom with an extra loft with a window bed.
Every room has an ocean view to enjoy. This off-the-grid cottage runs on solar power and uses propane for the stove and heater. Water comes from a freshwater spring on the property and is filtered at the tap.
The living room boasts 180-degree views of the rugged pacific coast which opens up to an oceanview deck, perfect to hang a hammock and spend the day.
Located off of Highway 1 about one mile up a public dirt road, the house is accessible by most vehicles but 4WD is highly recommended and REQUIRED IN RAIN DUE TO RUTS AND SLIPPERY ROAD.
The house is 100% off-grid with no municipal services. Please expect that due to the off-grid nature of the home you should be prepared that power may not always be available. Please plan meals not to use excessive energy.
More information:
Water: The water comes from a natural spring and filters at the tap. You will get filtered water in the sink tap in the hot water option(down). We also have a Brita water Filtration Pitcher.
Electricity: The house runs on solar. Please be mindful of the lights. Due to the off-grid nature of the home, you should be prepared that power may not always be available. We have a generator and portable solar lights as a backup in case of a solar power shortage. The stove, refrigerator, and water heater work on propane and don't depend on solar power.
Communication: There is no cell network in that area, please use the landline to communicate with me or for any emergency purposes. You can always reach out to your co-host. We have starlink which runs on a battery charged via solar panel, so you can use it (for extra charge) only during the day.
