SOLD

The home and land of the architect that defined Big Sur architecture… Thirty acres with three inspired residences located on the edge of the continent.

MAIN HOUSE

Designed by world-renowned architect, Mickey Muennig, to be his own personal residence, this home is built into the mountain side with a sod garden roof. This stunning 1 bedroom, 1.5 bath home enjoys spectacular ocean views, an open floor plan with radiant heat and expansive sky lights. The central living space surrounds an edible tropical garden. The house melts into the natural world with its dazzling surroundings and two courtyards, one accessed from the master bedroom and the other from the office. Strategically built on the axis of the winter solstice, the home was designed for the sun to shine through the front door to the fireplace on the shortest day of the year.

GLASS HOUSE

The Glass House was the first home that Mickey Muennig designed for himself. This outstanding and world famous structure was used as his primary residence while he built the Main House. This celestial dwelling is built into the mountain and offers vast views of the sea and coastline.

CARETAKER’S HOUSE

The Caretaker’s House was designed by Mickey Muennig in collaboration with his daughter, Michele. The multi-level home offers breathtaking ocean views from every level. With an open air bath house, one can fully engage in the natural beauty of this exceptional property.

THE PROPERTY

Perched above the fog line on Partington Ridge, this property was chosen by Mickey Muennig who is responsible for much of the iconic architecture that we see in Big Sur today. Mr. Muennig chose this property to establish his own personal dwelling and with the upmost care and attention to detail he created a residence that allows one to not just view but live within the expansive and spectacular beauty that is the Big Sur environment.

The property rests on 30 acres of forest with all-embracing views of the coastline, the ocean, and the sky. It contains three passive solar houses and a private driveway that runs up and through the acreage. The land is equipped with a peaceful and secluded pond, ideal for swimming in the summer months. With a serenity that is impossible to match, the only sounds that can be heard from this property are from the native animals that inhabit the area and the waves crashing 1,500 feet below.
