About this home

A $3 MILLION SIGNIFICANT REPOSITIONING OF AN ICONIC CALIFORNIA ESTATE! THE VERSAILLES OF LA JOLLA One of California’s great private estates is now available for sale! A once-in-a-generation opportunity to acquire one of California’s truly great estates. There are beautiful homes. There are extraordinary homes. And then there are estates that transcend real estate—properties that become part of the architectural and cultural fabric of a place. The Versailles of La Jolla is one of those estates. Commanding an extraordinary setting in the coveted Muirlands, this magnificent historic estate offers an exceptional combination of architectural pedigree, extraordinary scale, privacy, resort-style amenities, and panoramic Pacific views. Designed by esteemed architect Edgar Ulrich, the residence is a remarkable expression of European elegance infused with a distinctly California sensibility. Its architectural and historical significance is further distinguished by its coveted Mills Act designation. Thoughtfully expanded and modernized by the current owner in collaboration with Island Architects, the estate preserves its historic character and original charm while providing the sophistication, comfort, and livability expected of a world-class private residence. A ONCE-IN-A-GENERATION OPPORTUNITY TO OWN ONE OF CALIFORNIA'S MOST EXTRAORDINARY PRIVATE ESTATES
