About This Property

Set at the end of a private road shared by just three properties, 1230 Rubio Vista presents a rare opportunity to rebuild in one of Altadena's most peaceful hillside settings. Spanning 17,480 square feet, the property previously accommodated a 3,689 square foot, two-story residence with an attached two-car garage and has the potential for expansive city and, on clear days, ocean views. The secluded setting provides a unique sense of privacy while remaining just moments from Rubio Canyon and the extensive trail network of the Angeles National Forest, as well as the shops and restaurants along Lake Avenue. Public records indicate the previous residence featured four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and 3,689 square feet of living space. The property is being sold as land only.
