The Muir Garden Estate is more than a residence it is a landmark of La Jolla’s legacy, a living testament to vision, artistry, and enduring elegance. One of the largest estates in La Jolla perfectly situated on 2.65 acres of manicured ocean-view grounds, commissioned in an era when craftsmanship was revered, the estate has been masterfully preserved and enhanced for modern luxury living. Its soul, however, remains timeless—an homage to its storied past and the visionary spirit of H.J. Muir. The legendary horticulturist Kate Sessions, known as “The Mother of Balboa Park,” designed the estate’s extraordinary gardens, transforming the grounds into a botanical sanctuary. Mature trees, rare plantings, & curated paths unfold across the landscape, framing panoramic views of the Pacific in every direction.Step beyond the gates and into a private Eden, where every corner reveals whispers of the past and breathtaking beauty at every turn. The interiors are no less enchanting—grand in scale, rich in detail, and flawlessly appointed. Historic architectural elements blend effortlessly with refined contemporary finishes, creating a harmonious balance of old-world charm and modern sophistication. Dubbed “The Crown Jewel of La Jolla,” this estate bridges centuries of style with seamless grace. Flooded with natural light & designed to capture endless coastal vistas, every room is a chapter in the home’s extraordinary narrative. This is not merely a home—it is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a rare piece of La Jolla’s history. A legacy estate. A timeless sanctuary by the sea.
