Property Description

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.
