The property is primarily marketed as a 'Woolsey Fire Burn Out opportunity' with an existing 1780 sq. ft. guest house. While the guest house is habitable, the available interior images (work room, dressing room) show dated elements such as fluorescent lighting and older paint colors. There are no images of the kitchen or bathrooms, which often indicates these areas are not recently updated or are basic. The presence of a mini-split AC unit suggests some functional updates, but the overall impression is of an aged but maintained structure that requires minor updates to meet modern aesthetic standards. The property's value is largely in the land and rebuild potential, not the guest house's contemporary condition.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Expansive & Usable Land: The property boasts 10 acres with 3-4 flat acres and multiple potential building sites, offering significant development flexibility.
Panoramic Ocean & Mountain Views: Enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, Boney Ridge, and surrounding canyons from various vantage points.
Existing Guest House: A spacious 1780 sq. ft., 2-bedroom, 2-bath guest house is already on-site, providing immediate occupancy during future construction.
Expedited Rebuild Opportunity: As a Woolsey Fire burn-out property, it qualifies for expedited permits, streamlining the process of building a new dream home.
Established Utilities & Water Well: Essential infrastructure is in place, including city water, electricity, and a valuable private water well.

Cons

Main Residence Destroyed: The original main home was lost in the Woolsey Fire, necessitating a complete new construction project for the primary residence.
Tenant-Owned Ficus Trees: Thousands of ficus trees on the property are owned by a tenant and not included in the sale, which may require negotiation or removal.
Significant Rebuild Investment: While offering expedited permits, the property requires substantial financial and time investment to rebuild the main home and develop the site.
