When we were young, riding the trails of Malibu Canyon bareback, this ranch was occupied by ......ghosts of the past. More than once we heard eerie noises coming from this house, and one of my relatives from south of the border once heard the noises and said somberly "La Llorona", reverentially nodding his head. "La Llorona" was a mythic tale of a heartbroken woman whose soul mourned so deeply her cries of sadness were often heard on the night wind.
Fast forward to present day, this place has been de-spooked,all spiffed up, and is on the market for 899,000. Not bad for an acre in Calabasas, an actual slice of the old west, built in 1916, 3 BR 2 BA, 1700 Sq Feet. 1.2 acre parcel, a far cry from the past days when this ranch was probably six thousand acres or so, and stretched eastward through Mulholland to the Stokes family compund and south all the way over to the Tapia Hacienda and Casa Medina farther up the Malibu Canyon. I imagine if you listen on a warm summer night when the Santa Anas blow, you may yet hear a dim echo of a distant past where love made ghosts cry eternally in the night......
