1992 “Basic Instinct” Movie and Episode of HBO “Big Little Lies” Filmed on Property

Starting in late 2010, the Seacliff compound was assembled through four separate coastal property acquisitions totaling 5.35 acres and is being offered as a single holding. Located at the gateway to Big Sur, the consolidated estate comprises three primary homes, two auxiliary dwelling units, and three additional utilitarian structures, the sum of which total approximately 19,000 sf of living space inclusive of 14 bedrooms, 13 full bathrooms and 4 half baths. The owners have invested well over $50 million since the project’s initiation in 2010, as several of the original homes and structures were torn to the ground to make way for entirely new and re-envisioned living structures. Amenities include an exceptional array of pool, spa, and fitness facilities, along with breathtaking 180-degree cliffside views of the Pacific Ocean and cypress-studded coastline. Additionally, there is 1.35 acres of open, developable land available should the purchaser wish to expand the current collection of dwellings.

With the privacy of several separate living quarters uniquely sited throughout the grounds, the property is designed to cater to both its primary resident or host and their blessed guests. Indeed, through the years the property has hosted a bevy of Hollywood A-listers, global rock and pop stars, popular sports personalities and famous golfers, AI elite deal makers, the C-Level who’s who of the tech industries’ magnificent seven, notable European diplomats and former U.S. Presidents and First Ladies.

Gardens feature moss-covered boulders, floating flagstone steps, a Zen Garden, laden with a collection of raw Jade boulders, and illuminated pathways woven through ferns, succulents, and ornamental grasses. Viewing benches are nestled along trails and cliffside coves naturally carved into the property’s boundaries. A manicured entry garden with cascading waterscapes and a koi pond welcomes visitors, while a glass greenhouse with copper roofing offers a curated display space for orchids and other rare plant species.

THE OUTBUILDINGS – PRIVACY AND SERENITY PREVAIL AMIDST THE CYPRESS FOREST The property’s bohemian character is most evident in the dry-stacked stonework and oversized fireplaces throughout its secondary residences. The owner took pride in making each of the six oversized fireplaces completely distinctive with the hearths, lintels, and mantles, each being fitted with one-of-a-kind sculptural stones that were brought in from the fields of Montana, and he worked closely with master masons who placed every stone with intention. The North Residence features two bedrooms with full en suite bathrooms, plus one partial bathroom. A front-row, cliffside living room with ocean views is anchored by a mammoth, Yosemite-like Ahwahnee Lodge fireplace featuring a 10,000-pound hearthstone. Writer’s Cottage, Forest Cottage, and a garage with yoga/gym space are located on the property at 163 Spindrift. Each cottage includes one bedroom, a full bathroom, a kitchenette, wet bar, and a combined dining/common area. The South Residence features two generously sized bedrooms, each with a full en-suite ever-changing ocean cove immediately west and below.
