About this home
Formerly owned by Lawrence Ferlinghetti, poet, artist, City Lights founder and one of twentieth-century America's defining literary voices, this rare 2.61-acre Big Sur property offers a chance to create a private retreat in an exclusive gated Bixby Canyon enclave. The property includes an identified building site, newer well with source-capacity review, existing cabin, meditation hut and historic trout ponds. Ferlinghetti's legacy is deeply tied to Big Sur and the Beat Generation. A friend and publisher of Jack Kerouac, Ferlinghetti previously owned a nearby property down the canyon where Kerouac stayed during the period that inspired his novel Big Sur. Kerouac walked this canyon landscape and drew from its solitude, beauty and intensity in one of his most revealing works. The owner has advanced substantial due diligence toward future residential use, including well work, geotechnical and percolation investigation, septic planning, site planning, preliminary residence concepts and County coordination. A rare feature is access to a private residents-only pathway following Bixby Creek through the canyon to the shoreline beneath Bixby Bridge. A remarkable blend of literary history, privacy, natural beauty and Big Sur provenance....
