One among architect Mickey Muennig’s whimsical residential designs in Massive Sur, CA, is prepared for a brand new proprietor.
The curvy four-bedroom, four-bath dwelling has had solely two homeowners since its 1982 completion. It’s listed for $6,950,000 with Ben Heinrich of Coldwell Banker Realty.
Followers of California structure seemingly know Muennig for his design work on the Put up Ranch Inn, a luxurious coastal resort in Massive Sur. He designed many houses within the space, too.
Positioned on the Central Coast, Massive Sur is about 150 miles south of San Francisco, alongside the Pacific Ocean. The resort city of Carmel is a 45-minute drive north.
Muennig, who died in 2021, was a proponent of natural structure and designed houses to enhance their pure environment. In 2000 and 2002, Architectural Digest named him one of many prime 100 architects in the USA.
“His houses are as distinctive as he was,” says Heinrich. “He was very a lot influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright and one of many first to suppose by way of natural structure. When he bought to Massive Sur, he stated the land spoke to him.”
Perched on Pfeiffer Ridge, this 3,000-square-foot Casa Luna sits on a 5-acre lot in an oceanfront group.
“It’s all curved. There’s not a number of straight strains in a Mickey home,” says Heinrich.
Spanning three ranges, the house options indoor-outdoor dwelling with adjoining patios and terraces. On the highest stage, a hearth and wall of home windows are present in the lounge. From the eating space, you’ll be able to stroll to the backyard.
The vendor purchased the house in 1998 for $675,000 and has since up to date the kitchen and baths.
In designing a house, Heinrich notes, the architect “would actually exit and camp on the property and see how the solar got here up and the way in which the strains hit. He was an absolute nature lover.”
Proof of that is within the format.
“Nearly each room in the home has a personal patio,” he says. “Wherever you might be in the home, you may have a view. You’ve bought fabulous mountain and ocean views. The sunshine is all the time altering, and the whole lot is oriented towards the sunshine.”
There’s a indifferent construction that may very well be a really perfect artwork studio, and the sale consists of plans for a guesthouse.
The seemingly purchaser for this house is already in California.
“Seventy % of consumers in Massive Sur are from Northern California,” says Heinrich, “and an excellent portion are within the high-tech enterprise. They could have began an organization or are operating an organization. Massive Sur is a approach to get away from that stress.”
One other Muennig design is in the marketplace, a glass-walled dwelling inbuilt 2004 on 109 acres. Additionally represented by Heinrich, it’s presently Massive Sur’s most costly itemizing.
