Perched on a ridge in the Altadena hills, this flat parcel captures what makes La Vina one of the San Gabriel Valley’s most coveted addresses—an unbroken sweep of mountain silhouette to the north, the glittering expanse of the Los Angeles basin unfolding to the south, and the kind of quiet that only comes with elevation and a guarded gate.

The site previously held a single-family residence lost in the January 2025 Eaton Fire. Debris removal is complete and the lot sits cleared and open, with existing grading pads and prior utility connections in place — a rare head start for a buyer ready to build something entirely their own. Whether that’s a modern glass-and-steel statement or a warm California ranch that leans into the hillside, the canvas is here and the hard part is already behind you.

La Vina offers a 24-hour guarded entry, a community pool, a playground for the kids, and walking trails that wind through the foothills at your doorstep. Old Town Pasadena’s restaurants and shops are minutes away, with quick freeway access when you need it and the Angeles National Forest just beyond the ridge when you don’t.

Opportunities to build at this elevation, behind these gates, don’t come often.
