About 12008 East Trail
12008 East Trail | Iconic Hilltop View Property with Privacy, Plans & Utilities in Place Perched above the San Fernando Valley and surrounded by natural beauty, 12008 East Trail is a rare and exceptional offering. Bordering Cecil B. DeMille's legendary 310-acre 'Paradise Ranch' to the east and adjacent to the Angeles National Forest, this property offers complete privacy, unobstructed views, and the opportunity to build a dream estate just minutes from the city. Perfectly situated on a mostly flat, view lot at approximately 1,300 feet elevation, this peaceful half-acre+ site spans three contiguous parcels totaling approximately 22,735 sq. ft.--being sold together as one. With only one neighboring home to the north and conservation land to the south and east, the setting is serene and secluded, offering panoramic views from Universal Studios to the Encino Hills, along with stunning sunrise and moonrise vistas. Architectural plans for a 2,600 sq. ft. Mid-Century Modern home are included, along with a topographic/land survey. All major utilities are already in place: water, sewer, electricity, gas, and septic--saving significant time and investment in the building process. A small existing basement structure provides room for mechanical systems or a secure safe room. Located on a quiet dead-end street with just 16 homes, the property is zoned for horses and ideal for families or those seeking a true retreat-style setting. Children can play safely, with virtually no passing traffic. Just five minutes to the 118, and easy access to the 210 and 5 freeways makes commuting a breeze--only 20-30 minutes to major studios in Burbank, Hollywood, and Los Angeles. You'll also enjoy quick access to nearby shopping, dining, and equestrian centers such as Middle Ranch, which is visible from the property. Additional Development Highlights: Within 300 feet of an existing fire hydrant Former 10' setback for road widening released--now allowing a 20' front setback Borders trailheads and scenic horseback riding paths in Angeles National Forest Incredible vantage point for fireworks, star-gazing, and city lights Build your dream home in a location that feels worlds away--yet keeps you close to everything.
