About this home

Tucked into the quiet hills above the San Fernando Valley, this charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath single-family home offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of historic Kagel Canyon. The canyon takes its name from Henry Kagel, a late 19th-century miner who homesteaded the area in the 1880s, and that early pioneer spirit still defines the community today. Set on a 7,200-square-foot lot, the approximately 900-square-foot residence blends privacy, character, and the relaxed canyon lifestyle that has drawn residents here for generations.Kagel Canyon is known for its rich history and rural atmosphere, originally established as a retreat from the growing city below.

Outside, the generous lot offers room to unwind, garden, or enjoy the natural surroundings.Ideal as a full-time residence or weekend retreat, this Kagel Canyon home offers history, privacy, and a true sense of place--minutes from the Valley, yet distinctly its own.
