Elevated Living in a Canaan End-of-Road Sanctuary

Property overview

At the end of a quiet mountain road in Canaan de Rivas, this 22-hectare, 6,499-square-meter property opens to wide panoramic views toward the mountains of Los Angeles. The terrain is primarily open pastureland — light moves freely across the slopes throughout the day, giving the land an expansive feel even at this elevation. Several ready-to-build platforms are already in place, cutting development time for a home, retreat center, or eco-focused project. A private internal road serves the main areas of the property.

One of the notable natural features is a secluded waterfall set within the landscape, offering a quiet retreat on the far side of the property. Along the upper boundary, old-growth trees in protected forest conservation have been preserved, adding ecological depth and a permanent green buffer. Together — open pasture, build-ready platforms, the waterfall, and the conservation forest — the property delivers a rare layering of development readiness and intact nature.

Canaan de Rivas is an emerging highland community defined by stillness and privacy. The combination of ready infrastructure and preserved natural character suits buyers looking to build without stripping the land of what makes it worth owning in the first place. Whether for a private home, a small retreat operation, or a well-designed eco-project, the site is prepared and the views are already there.
