Rustic Ranch Style Home in Calabasas

About the Space

Nestled on over an acre of secluded, multi-level terrain in the heart of the Santa Monica Mountains, this property offers a rare mix of rustic Americana, mid-century ranch architecture, and logistics-heavy infrastructure. The 2,000+ sq. ft. house is versatile filming backdrop. The house has served as a location for feature films, short films, television, advertising, and magazine fashion editorial shoots. Key Production Features Multi-Level Visual Interest: The property is tiered into four distinct levels: Level 1: Modest orchard/garden and children's play structure (perfect for "rural" or "farmhouse" exteriors or for staging/craft setup). Level 2: The Main House (2,000+ sq ft, 3 bed/2bath, detached 2-car garage). Level 3: A small barn and storage shed (ideal for "gritty" or "industrial" looks). Level 4: A terraced slope with panoramic views, perfect for sunset "golden hour" shots. The "Anywhere America" Aesthetic: The 1962 ranch architecture features hardwood floors, exposed beams, and a large fireplace—easily passing for the Midwest, the Pacific Northwest, or a mountain retreat. Logistics & Accessibility Scout’s Note: This property sits under LA County jurisdiction, not the City of Calabasas. This typically means a more streamlined permitting process through FilmLA.

Virtually no ambient noise, making it a dream for sync-sound dialogue. Animal Friendly: Fully fenced and secure, capable of hosting animal actors (horses, dogs, etc.). Connectivity: High-speed internet available (rare for this deep in the canyon). Ideal For: Narrative Film/TV: Family dramas, "hidden" retreats, or rural thriller setups. Commercials: Outdoor lifestyle brands, automotive (scenic drive access), and home goods. Editorial: High-fashion "rustic" shoots and lifestyle photography.
