Life and real estate in Big Sur, Calif., one of the richest ZIP Codes in the country. Here, Silicon Valley moguls decamp for quiet weekend getaways.
The Wall Street Journal
"Big Sur is the name for a rugged stretch of about 70 miles of California coastline between Carmel, Calif., in the north and the Hearst Castle vicinity in the south."
Though this Monterey County destination was first settled during the Gold Rush, it was the construction of Highway 1 in the 1930s that popularized the area, especially among artists such as writers Henry Miller and Jack Kerouac and photographer Ansel Adams.
Today, world-class lodgings (like Post Ranch Inn and Ventana), beloved restaurants, and stunning scenery attract Silicon Valley’s moguls, who decamp here for quiet weekend getaways, enhanced by the region’s limited cell service.
