RARE ALTADENA VIEW LOT — ±0.53 ACRE | NEAR-RTI PLANS | EXCEPTIONAL PRIVACY Not all land opportunities are created equal. This extraordinary Altadena property offers a combination that is increasingly difficult to find: over half an acre of land, a private end-of-street setting, sweeping unobstructed mountain views, and professionally designed plans already nearing RTI status. Situated on an expansive ±0.53-acre lot (approximately 23,087 sq. ft.), this property was impacted by the 2025 Altadena Fire and now presents an exceptional opportunity to create a brand-new custom residence in one of Altadena’s most desirable natural settings.

Its elevated position captures dramatic, unobstructed panoramic mountain views, creating a spectacular backdrop for a future residence. Another major advantage: much of the difficult planning work has already been done.

The plans have already been submitted and are nearing Ready-to-Issue (RTI) status, potentially saving the next owner considerable time, planning, and expense compared with starting a new project from scratch.
