Casa Luna — a dramatic estate inspired by Greek villages — lists in CA. See it

A home that will leave a lasting impression on anyone’s brain landed on the real estate market in Big Sur, California, and went under contract within a few days.

Built in 1982, the picturesque four-bedroom, four-bathroom residence — which is listed for $5.5 million — was actually built by an iconic Northern California architect, who clearly had an idea in mind after traveling to a different continent.

“Casa Luna is a one-of-a-kind architectural masterpiece by Big Sur legend and the creative force behind Post Ranch Inn Mickey Muennig. Inspired by a visit to small villages in Greece, the home elegantly mirrors the curves of the moon and the rhythms of nature,” the listing on Sotheby’s International Realty said.

“Set on over 5 private acres dotted with fruit trees, garden beds and lush landscaping within a gated community just minutes from Pfeiffer Beach and world class amenities, this iconic three-level residence flows organically down the hillside.”

Every room reflects Muennig’s signature organic style, seamlessly blending earth, light, and motion for a truly immersive living experience.
