Nestled on a beautiful street just north of Mendocino and mere minutes from the Altadena Country Club and scenic hiking trails, the location blends luxury with nature.

Phase One of the development process has been completed, and the lot is now queued for Phase Two setting the stage for your custom build. This property is being sold as-is for land value only. There is a possibility for a lot split, buyers to verify with the city and is strongly encouraged to conduct their own due diligence regarding all aspects of the property, including remediation, building regulations, and permitted uses, with the County of Los Angeles and all relevant authorities. Don’t miss this rare chance to own a premium parcel in an elite Altadena neighborhood that's perfect for visionaries ready to create something truly special. Please Note: Drive by only. Do not walk the site. All those who chose to walk on the lot will be at their own risk. The lot contains debris and potential hazardous materials.

The only area of concern is there are wild animals living in the area; coyotes, bears, bobcats, skunk, opossum, rattlesnake and deer. Dogs and cats should never be left unmonitored in their yards, as they may be eaten or injured by coyotes at any time of the day."
