Just past Palo Colorado Road on Highway 1, sits over 15 acres of iconic Big Sur coastline, pastureland and the old Palo Colorado Canyon schoolhouse. Its a place for cool morning walks along the cliffs and sunset meditation. From the bluff above, the quaint schoolhouse has stunning views that feed the imagination with inspiration and renewal. Inside the one bedroom, one and half bathroom rental, this 1,221 square foot schoolhouse maintains its rustic charm with open beamed ceilings, a free-standing fireplace and the line of windows that frame the unmatched beauty of this wild coast. Big Sur has its way of filling both heart and soul and this is a once in a life time opportunity to own a piece of the ultimate California dream.
