LAGUNA BEACH, CA— A 1.25 acre estate owned by writer/creator Ryan Murphy was sold last week, Realtor.com reports. The mind behind "Ratched," "American Horror Story," and "Glee," to name a few highly binge-worthy and award winning shows, has owned the property since 2005.

The Laguna Village compound, with its stark modern corners, glass and formed concrete walls, is warmed by beautifully landscaped terraces, crystal blue pools and spas, and even a labyrinth-style hedgerow. A guesthouse on the property offers a large deck and equally stunning views.

Murphy, 54, as reported by the LA Times, has won six Primetime Emmy Awards, one Tony Award and has been nominated to the Grammy Awards three times.
