FOR SALE- The largest residential land assemblage in the South Bay

June 17, 2024
The Storm Hill lots stand as the pinnacle of residential land holdings not just on the Palos Verdes Peninsula, but also across the entire South Bay region. Spanning approximately 60 acres collectively, these expansive lots constitute the largest contiguous residential property available in the area, with each individual lot proudly boasting the title of the largest intact residential lot. This exceptional estate presents an extraordinary opportunity for individuals looking to secure a magnificent landholding and create an unparalleled family legacy.

Nestled within the secure confines of the 24-hour guard-gated city of Rolling Hills, this property offers the rare chance to own your own private "mountain," providing breathtaking and unobstructed vistas of the city skyline and coastline. Whether you opt to acquire one lot or all three, the potential to craft a dream family compound awaits, conveniently located within easy reach of Downtown Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, and Santa Monica. Rolling Hills, California, a picturesque enclave in Los Angeles County, embodies the epitome of upscale suburban living. Amidst rolling landscapes and sweeping vistas, this exclusive community emerged in the mid-20th century as a haven for affluent families seeking tranquility and luxury. Originally conceived by developer A. E. Hinton, head of the Palisades Development Co., Rolling Hills is characterized by spacious estates, equestrian-friendly amenities, and a commitment to preserving its natural beauty. Today, Rolling Hills continues to enchant residents and visitors alike with its timeless charm and idyllic lifestyle.

Zoned Residential (RA-S2) and designated for equestrian use, this property provides the perfect canvas to bring your vision of a dream equine facility to life. With ample space for multiple riding rings, barns, turnouts, or even your own cross-country course, the possibilities are limited only by your imagination.

The history of the Storm Hills estate is rich with the legacy of the Storm family. Acquired by Walter Storm in 1955, the property once served as grazing land for cows before Walter envisioned building his dream home alongside a barn and expansive equestrian amenities. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, the family enjoyed a robust equestrian lifestyle, hosting grand cross-country events and maintaining a dedicated riding ring atop the hill. In the 1980s, Walter's vision expanded as he generously gifted a lot to each of his daughters, one of whom erected her own residence in 1986. A testament to their love for the land and community, the Storm family bestowed an 8-acre park at the base of the property to the City of Rolling Hills in 1974. Rolling Hills has always held a special place in the hearts of the Storms, who still fondly recall watching hawks soaring overhead, symbolizing the enduring presence of their beloved parents overlooking their cherished hill.
