Our space is a large ranch of 25 acres in the Western end of Santa Monica Mountains. We are a working creative community ranch with lots of different spaces with different looks.
The focus is the natural environment with some structures, all of the main property locations are outside. If you are looking for scenery with no visible buildings ,with the classic Southern California mountains look, we have it. Oak trees, sycamore trees, hills, big boulders, dirt roads, seasonal creeks and mountain vistas.
Some of our areas:
Wooded hilly areas around creek beds filled with Oaks, Sycamore
Dirt and gravel roads
Trails, paths thru the woods and open areas
Garden w/two ponds, one tropical, one Japanese style koi pond
A sweeping beautiful meadow with giant oaks trees, w/firepit

We have power at the rustic trailer( center of the property). Internet is there and also down in the main parking lot/basecamp The phone service is spotty, even if you have Verizon.

Big box trucks can only get to the parking lot. Further back we have low trees and power lines, 13 1/2ft can make it. The smaller box truck and high vans can make it to the back .
We're 20 mins from 101 Freeway on a private/public road. The last 2 miles of the road are private and the road is one and half lanes wide. We must respect the neighbors that use the road. There are pull out spots, for when 2 cars meet. Please be nice and back into or pull out to the side when you can. And drive slowly as there are animals on the road too. besides the scenery is beautiful!
We are in the Secondary Studio Zone
