This beautiful Trotter residence was originally built in 1924 with hand hewn redwood timbers and extensive use of natural materials. Strategically sited just above Nepenthe, it has sweeping vistas of the Big Sur Coast and the Pacific Ocean. Bill Mcleod, noted builder of the Post Ranch, restored it's natural beauty over a period of several years using local redwood timbers both original and reclaimed. The home has been updated with a full complement of today's modern conveniences. The approximate 3100 square feet are fully insulated and include custom made redwood frame windows with seeded pane glass, recessed coved silhouette lighting and radiant heat concrete flooring with a rich lustrous earthen stain.

A large guest wing is comprised of two spacious bedrooms each with en-suite baths, one of which could be a second Master Suite. The baths include extensive use of Jerusalem limestone squares and French limestone slabs, Kohler porcelains, a claw foot tub and luxuriant fixtures. There is also a separate entry, oversized laundry facilities and radiant heat flooring.

The main entertaining portion of the home has extensive walls of glass facing the glorious views. The main lounge fireplace retains its original antique hood but the interior has been completely lined with stainless steel. A sliding redwood panel hides a big screen television and hidden soffet lighting highlight the exposed hand hewn redwood beams with a warm glow. An original brass chandelier from the Highlands Inn adorns the ceiling in the dining room over floors of quartzite flagstone. A chefs kitchen includes granite countertops, custom cabinetry, pullout shelving and an appliance garage. There are double ovens, a large refrigerator with services on the door, and extensive skylights throughout. The kitchen is perfectly suited for extensive entertaining.

The master bedroom is located on the opposite end of the house in its own private wing. An impressive copper faced fire place with a concrete hearth complement the views of the majestic Pacific ocean and the Los Padres national forest. Sheets of French limestone line the master bath with a separate shower and claw foot tub. There is a separate laundry area with a hamper pass through directly from the walk-in closet. Approximately 1000 square feet of ocean view decking is accessible from the master suite.

The property has air conditioning in the master bedroom wing and kitchen, a water softener, drip irrigation, a reverse osmosis system in the kitchen, three water heaters and two separate heating systems. There is room for a garage and water is supplied by the coastlands water company.

This is SUR HOUSE, truly a unique offering and tranquil place to live.
