Urban Homesteader Property

3946 Randolph Avenue, Los Angeles

3946 Randolph Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90032

Asking price: $649,000

Hiking boots or SUV vehicle required to experience this secluded Urban Homesteader property. A rare opportunity to buy an inconspicuous farmstead in the heart of the city. This is self-sufficient living at its best. Located atop a private hill neighboring the recently protected 20 acre El Sereno open space and hiking trails known as Elephant Hill. The three parcels total a half acre. Simple pleasures include a galley kitchen, a fully functioning wood burning fireplace and downtown views to write home about. Only one neighbor to the east, the property currently hosts 5 goats, chickens and a small bog with carp. All compliant with the Los Angeles ordinance for domestic livestock. Tons of potential for a future orchard, grey water systems and rain water capturing. Viewings are to be arranged by appointment only as access is off of a non-improved city paper street.
