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 infuse d 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 LEGACY IN LANDSCAPE Set on approximately 2.65 irreplaceable acres, the grounds are an extraordinary estate within the estate. Inspired by the grandeur of Balboa Park and associated with the landscape vision of legendary horticulturist Kate Sessions, the “Mother of Balboa Park,” the gardens unfold through mature landscaping, formal gardens, secluded pathways, terraces, and exceptional outdoor entertaining spaces. Then there is the view. Sweeping, uninterrupted panoramas stretch across the Pacific and along the California coastline, with spectacular ocean vistas and extraordinary sunsets providing a breathtaking backdrop from the property. The setting is simply irreplaceable. A PRIVATE RESORT Designed as a private resort, The Versailles of La Jolla offers an extraordinary collection of amenities rarely found within a single residential estate. A magnificent saltwater pool and spa anchor the grounds, complemented by a luxurious pool cabana with full kitchen and bath. A regulation tennis court provides a private venue for competitive play or leisurely matches. Two beautifully appointed guest residences offer exceptional accommodations for family, friends, distinguished guests, or staff—creating privacy and flexibility rarely possible within a single residential compound. THE ART OF ENTERTAINING Inside, the estate rivals the finest private clubs. A spectacular Hollywood-style theater, expansive game room, and sophisticated billiard and bar lounge create extraordinary spaces for entertaining. A dedicated music room and study provide an inspiring environment for creativity, work, or quiet reflection. The chef’s kitchen, outfitted with top-tier appliances, combines exceptional functionality with refined design. A gracious formal sitting room offers an elegant setting for intimate entertaining and conversation. For the ultimate enthusiast, a state-of-the-art golf simulator brings the game home, adding another dimension to this remarkable private resort. Grandly proportioned interiors, soaring ceilings, exquisite architectural detailing, and expansive walls of glass further elevate the residence, while the seamless connection between interior spaces and the extraordinary grounds embraces the quintessential La Jolla lifestyle.
