UNDER CONTRACT! Taktsang A Stunning Temple Home In the Heart of Big Sur

[@barbarajackson3422]

Everyone involved in dreaming, designing and building this house into reality has to be so proud. I’m just awestruck by the beauty !

[@mariarohmer2374]

The person who filmed this is terrific. They documented the beauty of this place to perfection.

[@geoms6263]

filmed? They are pictures put togheder

[@Stitsel]

It's stunning, but hard to enjoy when each frame lasts an average of 3 seconds, if you're lucky.....simply double or triple that, I could sit through a 10 minute video of this.

An amazing piece of architecture that truly takes advantage of its beautiful surroundings. Every room has its own private vista. A beautiful use of materials that age and blend with the landscape.

very lucky people to be able to live in a home like this,

[@blueman5924]

What a truly outstanding residence. The design/build is complemented by the amazing site. 👏

[@cruisingal2]

Wow! I remember this home when taking a side trip to Big Sur from one of our Tahoe ski trips. It is truly to me the most desirable home I have ever seen (and that was from the road!) Seeing the videos just confirms it!

[@JB-pd3ir]

Yes, this truly using the mind of the architect ( amazingly creative and an exquisite work of art).

[@OhNoNotAgain42]

That’s a LONG side trip from Tahoe. Unless you live in San Luis Obisbo

[@davidblack7528]

Wow! Beautiful structure. Taktsang means "tiger's lair" which (I presume) comes from the Tibetan monastery name. Very few houses on this incredible stretch of coastline and none so deserving to be there, truly a beautiful place to meditate.

[@heinrichbrooksher]

Thanks for the info!

[@le_th_]

If you've spent any time at all in Big Sur, you know you don't need to meditate there, either. Just being there is a huge exhale of tension into blissful relaxation as the slow pace and natural beauty envelope you...

I haven’t been to Big Sur for about ten years. This home is simply elegant and precious.

[@RandomRabbit007]

The cool thing about Big Sur is that they don't allow much (or any) development there so it's always the same (more or less). My family has gone camping there since I was a kid (in my 30s now). It's truly a magical place for trails, hikes, the ocean, etc.

[@KohalaLover]

@@RandomRabbit007 Lovely. I can almost smell the trees from here. (Orange County).

[@RandomRabbit007]

I know what you mean haha. Man those redwoods have such an amazing smell. I cant wait to get back to Big Sur!@@KohalaLover

[@sloanNYC]

Wondered what this house looked like when driving by. Insane price.

[@annespellberg7173]

That is the most beautiful setting and the most terrifying. Rocks cleave all the time, slides happen often in CA, earthquakes are a reality. There is no way I would live there.

[@sidingot4381]

Almost perfect.

[@CaseyDarwin]

For all you people worried about it falling in the ocean and erosion. Yeah that stuff happens but this house was built in 1970. I guess if you're worried about over hundreds of years, but it's proven it is soundly built.

[@dennispatrick4999]

I would NEVER put my bed facing away from the Pacific Ocean and that view. Why??

[@martinginsburg7222]

Great point. My bed is elevated, I open my eyes & I can see the surf

[@dennispatrick4999]

​@@martinginsburg7222Exactly. That's why we want to live along the coast; to see that Beautiful Ocean. The MILLION DOLLAR VIEW.

ARCHITECT PLEASE

[@heinrichbrooksher]

"In the mid 1960s, Richard Clements, a contractor from San Fransisco, set out to build a one of a kind resort.... He was said to be inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright and passionate about green and environmentally friendly architecture and development. When purchased by new owners in the early ’90s, the home consisted of just the main wing and had no central heat. So they hired Mickey Muennig, a Big Sur architect known for organic architecture, to renovate the structure into a livable abode."
