Property Description
If these walls could talk, oh the stories they would tell. Nearly 100 years young, this truly iconic home was thought to be one of the first homes built by master builder M.J. Murphy after his completion of the Highlands Inn. Designed and built by M.J. Murphy, he crafted a home that captures truly exceptional and dramatic ocean views - it will take your breath away. The rustic bungalow has an enchanting Big Sur lodge atmosphere, maintaining its original redwood walls and ceilings, as well as the original Douglas Fir floors. The home is just a short stroll to the Highlands Inn and less than 10 minutes back to downtown Carmel. Only two owners since 1918, this is the first time this special property is available on the open market in half a century. Restore the home to its original glory and own an architectural piece of Carmel's history. A unique and rare opportunity in one of the most beautiful and magical areas of the world.

No recorded sales in this range. Select All available for older records; missing records do not mean the home never sold.
ZIP averages use publicly displayable closed sales from our licensed MLS feed, matched to the same ZIP and exact property type. Months with fewer than 3 sales are omitted; the current month is incomplete. Lines connect available monthly observations across gaps and do not represent measured prices in missing months. These averages are not adjusted for size, condition, or location within the ZIP, and are not an appraisal. Feed coverage may not include every sale. All available shows the available home and ZIP history, with mortgage rates over the same dates.
Mortgage benchmark: Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey®. © Freddie Mac. Weekly national 30-year fixed rates, not APRs or a loan quote. Actual terms vary. Methodology changed in November 2022. The chart does not establish that interest-rate changes caused a home’s price changes.
Lines connect recorded asking and sale prices. They are visual guides, not estimates of the home’s value between those dates.
