The Iconic "Buzzards Roost Ranch". Amazing views from this 10 acre parcel with a quaint cabin sitting high on a promontory overlooking the whole of Santa Monica Bay with City light views. This property has been in one family for many years and has been much sought after by those who want complete rural privacy. A 2+mile dirt road takes you up the hill and onto the best view site in the Santa Monica Mountains. You are surrounded by beautiful Parkland. Live completely off the grid and unbridled to the outside world. This is only for a certain type of buyer who does not need paved access and is happy with natures comforts. The dirt access road is also open for hiking and mountain biking, but closed to all vehicles except those with legal access. Showings by request only will take approximately 1 hour including driving time in from Encinal Canyon Rd. Do not attempt to access on your own due to security measures and a locked gate on the Fire Road. Contiguous home on 10ac is also available.
