About this home
One-of-a-kind vacant lot in Altadena, set against the majestic foothills. Discover a rare opportunity to own a large, usable property with TWO APN numbers. Subdivide and build two homes! Lot 17 is 14,771 sq ft and Lot 18 is 15,914 sq ft or create a private estate spanning over 30,000 sq ft in a premium location with sweeping mountain views. Prior to the Eaton Canyon Fire, the property featured a two-story home measuring approximately 2,604 sq ft. The original architectural plans remain intact, offering an exceptional foundation to recreate the vision of award-winning architect Kenneth David Lee, AIA, or to inspire a new design that harmonizes with the property's natural beauty. The lot is in the foothills of the Mount Lowe area of the San Gabriel mountains and the entirety of the north-east and east facing lot has unobstructed views of the mountains. The lot is adjacent to county property that cannot be developed, so the views will always remain unobstructed. The lot is well above the street and can be entirely hidden from the street with hedges. It offers a private retreat shaded by several grand oaks and many mature olive trees. It originally was landscaped with abundant azaleas, camellias and maple trees as the acidic sandy soil is perfect for them. It is close to the famous Mount Lowe hiking trails and has abundant wildlife and birds. Existing hardscape offers patios at the top level of the and at the bottom level of the property, all connected by flagstone paths. The property provides an intimate yet grand opportunity to live in the presence of the mountains and their ever-changing personality. You are above the city and the smog, feeling truly like you are in your own piece of forest, yet minutes to Pasadena and the freeways. Idyllic and majestic describe it. Zoned for horses and farm animals. This unique parcel presents an opportunity to rebuild, reimagine, and create something truly special. At the owner's expense a private contractor completed debris removal and remediation, achieving both Phase 1 and Phase 2 clearance, while preserving hardscape and land integrity. The property is connected to city sewer (not septic), and utilities were all in place including water, electricity, and gas....
