About 1205 Muirlands Dr

Iconic. Historic. Enchanted. Perched atop 2.65 ocean-view acres of manicured perfection, The Muir Garden Estate stands as a timeless testament to elegance and vision. This estate is more than a home—it is a piece of history, a living narrative of artistry, and a rare opportunity to step into the legacy of H.J. Muir. Originally crafted in an era when attention to detail was an art form, the estate is an ode to sophistication, lovingly preserved and enhanced to meet the demands of modern luxury. At the heart of its story is Kate Sessions, the legendary horticulturalist known as “The Mother of Balboa Park.” Her genius shaped the estate’s grounds into a symphony of botanical beauty, where mature trees and curated gardens frame sweeping ocean vistas. Walking through the property feels like stepping into a secluded Eden, each corner whispering the secrets of its storied past. Dubbed “The Crown Jewel of La Jolla,” the estate effortlessly bridges two worlds: the charm of a bygone era and the comforts of contemporary living. Grand interiors offer a seamless blend of historic craftsmanship and modern finishes, where original architectural details coexist harmoniously with state-of-the-art upgrades. Every room tells its own story, bathed in natural light and offering panoramic views of the Pacific. This is more than real estate; it is a legacy. A home like The Muir Garden Estate comes along perhaps once in a lifetime, a singular opportunity to own not just a piece of La Jolla’s history but also a canvas of unparalleled possibility. This truly is a once in a generation opportunity!
