This rare opportunity to own a lot over 17,700 sq ft (0.41 acres) to build your dream home in the remarkable area of Altadena's Country Club and Golf Course. This large lot offers a prime space, ready for you to create a luxury single-family residence along with an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) for guest housing or rental potential (buyer to verify permits and due diligence). The inground swimming pool remains in place, ready to be restored into your private oasis. Enjoy the breathtaking views of the local mountains, tranquil skies, and stunning daily sunrises and sunsets. Opportunities with this property do not come along very often. This is exceptionally rare. Phase 2 debris removal has been completed by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the official report will be provided to the buyer. Additionally, the existing property water stock shares will be securely transferred through escrow to the new owner, guaranteeing your connection to the local water company (shares are tied to the property and cannot be sold separately).
