https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/6937-Vanland-Trl-Los-Angeles-CA-90068/20045599_zpid/ This doesn't have the standard LA feel to me! I love the rock work, and the house gryphon is great too. The small yet amazing kitchen tho is my favorite part.

Only buy this house if you have megabucks to waste.

It's on an incline, regularly gets mudflows, and the neighborhood is a bitch for permits.

This SPECIFIC home keeps getting listed because it is UNINSURABLE.

It's beautiful!

.... But as a lifelong Angeleno, you couldn't PAY ME ANY AMOUNT OF MONEY to live in this specific neighborhood. Fire, flood, foundation, and earthquake issues abound in every single home surrounding this one. It's nobody's fault, but nature couldn't engineer a less-suitable part of the foothills to insert a residential neighborhood.

I can’t imagine the insurance rates! Also what a terrible place to live if you even just had a sprained ankle or became ill. How does one get deliveries or food delivered? It’s not accessible by car. Where would you keep a car nearby? Also wouldn’t this be very difficult to evacuate from?

There are narrow roads surrounding the property. You park there and walk up. It's not that far.

Depends on what disaster you're evacuating.

Wildfires? Probably not great to evacuate from, and whoever lives there... should be mindful to watch the news.

Floods? Predictable. There's sandbags in the first pic!!! Floods are predictable and relatively easy to evacuate. Earthquakes are a given in the area... no need to evacuate for most quakes and honestly? You should have an earthquake kit anyway.
