Something quite different than anything else on the market in Southern California, an historic property that was originally part of the Bell Moving Picture Ranch with a cinematic history dating back to the 1930s, is for sale, asking $3.495 million. With its unique landscape of ancient oaks, large boulders, waterfalls, cacti, and wild trails, the eight-acre property is a popular video location for fashion and commercial content creators. It has been seen in many movie and television productions, including Love Me Tender, Gunsmoke, and Bonanza. The property includes a 3,152-square-foot, log-style estate with three bedrooms that has been recently redesigned and restored by a furniture maker and a designer couple who are well known for their custom interiors and handcrafted finishes, modern organic architecture, panoramic canyon views, a remodeled chef’s kitchen with Viking and Fisher & Paykel appliances, and wraparound patios. There are also equestrian corrals, beautiful stone paths, a large garage, a 500-gallon water tank, a next-door five-acre parcel, and much more. The property is listed with Matt Witek & Jonnelle Lewin from the Witek Lewin Group at Compass.
