Altadena

Set against the beautiful San Gabriel Mountains sits the Zane Grey Estate. It is on the National Register of Historic Places as it was the former home of the famed Western novelist, Zane Grey. The estate is ready to be the future residence-retreat for a lucky family, creative, or writer. The property not only housed Zane Grey, but had the architectural brilliance of Chicago's Myron Hunt and Elmer Grey (also designed the Rose Bowl, Huntington Library, and other California landmarks). Some of the original 1900's architectural elements throughout the estate include massive wood-beamed ceilings, custom cast iron sconces, chandeliers, iron detailed handrails, and even an entry elevator. Take a walk through the private long driveway of this one-acre property, look up at the 15-foot ceilings, immerse yourself in the wine cellar, and embrace the beautiful energy that the Zane Grey Estate emits. In Altadena, I have found those qualities that make life worth living - Zane Grey.

The largest remaining private portion of the original Camp Huntington -- one of the early sites for Scouting in Southern California -- is being offered to the market for the first time in more than forty years.

Oaks, pines, deodar cedars and ancient olive trees are spread across the idyllic landscape, creating smaller areas for play, shade, relaxation and the simple delight of the remarkable environment. The property is comprised of three parcels totaling just under five acres, zoned LCR1-20,000. All include both water and utilities; the owner has additional water stock certificates in-hand to allow for potential development. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a large private retreat or to create several individual estates.
