Property Description
Rare opportunity to own a versatile canyon retreat featuring a 2-bedroom, 1-bath main home, a detached 1-bedroom, 1-bath ADU, a studio ADU, garage, and sweeping canyon views on a nearly one acre hillside lot. Whether you're looking for multigenerational living, rental income, a creative workspace, or a private escape just minutes from Los Angeles, this property offers exceptional flexibility.
Nestled in historic Kagel Canyon, one of Los Angeles County's best-kept secrets, you'll enjoy the tranquility of canyon living while remaining just minutes from major freeways and approximately 30 minutes from Downtown Los Angeles, Pasadena, and Burbank (without traffic). The Angeles National Forest is practically your backyard, offering endless opportunities for outdoor recreation.
Situated on the only home along Alta Street, this property provides a rare sense of privacy while still being part of a welcoming mountain community. Dexter Park and the beloved Hideaway Bar & Grill are just up the road, making it easy to enjoy local gatherings and neighborhood charm.
Wake up to red-tailed and red-shouldered hawks soaring overhead, deer grazing nearby, horses along the trails, and the occasional bobcat or peacock-an everyday reminder that you're living in one of Southern California's most unique natural settings.
Property is being sold as-is.
