More Insights

Built in 1951 (75 years old).
Condition: Built in 1951, this mid-century home has largely retained its original character, with no evidence of major renovations in recent decades. While the kitchen features some updated stainless steel Viking appliances and a mosaic backsplash, the overall style of the cabinets and the rest of the house (flooring, light fixtures, stone fireplace, wood paneling) is significantly dated. The listing itself explicitly markets the property as 'a rare canvas for restoration, or the chance to build a dream estate,' and the AI analysis notes it 'likely requires extensive renovation, modernization, or is considered a tear-down for new construction.' This indicates the property's value is primarily in its nearly 2-acre land and redevelopment potential, aligning with the 'tear-down' criteria.

About this home

Loved for decades, offered but once. At the quiet end of a cul-de-sac rests one of Brentwood's last great opportunities: 13241 Riviera Ranch Rd, a private, elevated, nearly 2 acre equestrian abode in one of the Westside's most prestigious, celebrity-cherished enclaves of prime Sullivan Canyon. Held by the same family since the 1960s, this mid-century wood-and-glass home, designed by Neutra's draftsmen, Paul Sterling Hoag, offers a rare canvas for restoration, or the chance to build a dream estate that fully embraces the scale, privacy, and beauty of the land. Properties of this size, location, and zoning are nearly impossible to find on the Westside. This a rare opportunity to create one of the most iconic estates on the Westside, with room for sports court, barn, guest house and more. From its most elevated point, the property captures beautiful views of the Getty, peaks of ocean and views over the valley. Surrounded by grand trees and open sky, the setting is simply magical, feeling timeless and untouched, while being minutes from the heart of Brentwood and beaches. Zoned for up to 18 horses, close access to the 8-acre Sullivan Canyon riding facility, this property is an absolute equestrian rarity. Whether you're a rider, a builder, a dreamer, or all three, this land speaks in possibility.
