Set on one of the Palisades' only private roads, this rare offering presents an opportunity to build in the highly coveted Rivas Canyon. The flat, 18,378-square-foot lot features a pool and is surrounded by majestic sycamore trees. The previous 3,254-square-foot home incorporated architectural elements by famed architect Craig Ellwood, who also lived in the residence, adding to its unique history and character. With only 17 properties, Rivas Canyon offers privacy and serenity while remaining close to the Palisades Village. Residents enjoy direct access to trailheads leading to Will Rogers and Temescal State Parks, as well as a bucolic setting with a creek, lush greenery, and a true sense of retreat. Phase 1 EPA remediation and Phase 2 debris removal by the Army Corps of Engineers have been completed. Be part of the rebuild and create something extraordinary on this premier lot in one of the Westside's most sought-after locations.
Pacific Palisades, located between Santa Monica and Malibu, is a coastal and hillside Los Angeles neighborhood with ocean-view bluffs and canyon trails. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Sunset Boulevard at Swarthmore Avenue, where sidewalk cafes, small boutiques, and a classic village streetscape set the daily rhythm. Architectural lines run from midcentury moderns tucked into the hills to Spanish Revival and contemporary builds along winding streets. The Getty Villa frames the area’s cultural calendar with galleries and gardens above the Pacific. Palisades Village and the Bay Theater anchor local routines with shopping, dining, and a marquee-lit night out. Temescal Canyon and Will Rogers State Beach tie the neighborhood to surf breaks, picnic lawns, and long coastal walks.
