Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

639 Hightree Road is an undeveloped residential land lot set in a private, wooded setting where a creek runs beneath a bridge and under a canopy of mature trees. The property is one of two available lots in Rustic Canyon, offered individually or together with the neighboring 641 Hightree Road, giving buyers flexibility in how they approach site planning and building scale. In 1979, architect Ray Kappe envisioned a soaring mid-century-style masterpiece with plans that were approved but never built, leaving the site as a blank canvas for a future design. Buyers can plan for approximately 5,000 square feet of development on a single lot or up to about 10,800 square feet across both.

The lot sits off quiet Hightree Road, and the surrounding hillsides recall a historic setting tied to a 1920s open-air amphitheater that once echoed with poetry readings.

For buyers seeking an unbuilt parcel with a private, tree-covered approach and the option to combine two lots, this site provides a straightforward path to creating a new custom home. The property’s approved-but-unused design concept may also be of interest to owner-builders and architects looking to build from established planning work on one lot or an expanded footprint across both addresses.
