Little House on the River" is an iconic cottage in the heart of Big Sur. Located near the Grange Hall on the Big Sur River, this little slice of heaven is a very rare opportunity to own a serene retreat property under the giant redwoods with river access, yet walking distance to restaurants and amenities. An easy drive to the cottage and you are home! Originally built in 1947, this cottage was completely renovated and rebuilt in 2023 atop a fully sealed, raised concrete foundation. Retaining the charm of a "Pinterest" cottage, yet fully new and modern, the interior is light and bright and done to perfection. There is even whole-house air conditioning! Gorgeous views to the river from house as well as from the spacious front deck. Additionally, there is a separate laundry/storage structure adjacent to the main house. Property zoning designation of VSC (Visitor Serving Commercial) may potentially afford some opportunity for future use.
