Welcome to 11857 East Trail, a truly unique historic ranch property in desirable Kagel Canyon. Once owned by Mr. Kagel himself and fondly known as The Lazy T Ranch, this special property offers more than one acre of mostly flat, usable land with mountain views, mature trees, a nearby creek, and exceptional potential.
The approximately 656 square foot main residence offers 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom and has been updated while retaining its historic charm. Features include a fireplace, restored plaster cove ceilings, remodeled kitchen with granite countertops and custom copper covered breakfast bar, remodeled bathroom with claw foot tub, Arizona room, converted gym/bonus room, outdoor laundry area, and an additional bathroom serving the ranch grounds.
An approximately 700 square foot, two story barn has been converted into a guest residence with separate access, offering flexibility for guests, extended family, work from home use, or potential income producing use, subject to applicable approvals.
Equestrian amenities include a barn, bunkhouse and guest areas, work shed, tack room, corrals, stalls, riding arena, horse running area, pavilion, patios, porches, and a ranch foremans dwelling. Three gated entrances and abundant space provide room for horse trailers, RVs, tractors, trucks, trailers, and guest vehicles.
The property also features a cellar approximately 20 feet below grade. Plans have been started for a larger two story custom home, retaining wall, and potential ADU development. Proposed improvements are in various stages of planning and permitting. Buyers should independently verify status, approvals, and feasibility.
Conveniently located near major freeways and Los Angeles destinations, this rare property combines history, usable land, equestrian amenities, and future possibilities. Bring your vision, your horses, and your imagination to The Lazy T Ranch.
