A diamond in the rough… Experience country living in the big city; as this property is located in a very desirable area of unincorporated LA. Temps are typically 10 degrees cooler than the valley and smog rarely is an issue. Changes in the seasons are more distinct, and with more of us staying home one gets to experience this right outside your door, in one’s own private oasis with plenty of space. Wintertime is especially unique as picturesque cloud formations rolling in from the ocean over the Santa Monica’s are frequently observed. The Santa Monica Mountains National Rec area is essentially an extended backyard for people fortunate to live in this area with an abundance of recreational options available to the adventurous.
