Welcome to 901 Strada Vecchia Road, a rare and exceptional development opportunity nestled in the tranquil hills of Bel Air, one of Los Angeles’ most prestigious and desirable neighborhoods. This approximately 1.89-acre vacant lot sits at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, offering ultimate privacy, breathtaking canyon views, and the foundation to build a world-class custom estate.

This isn’t just raw land over $8 million in completed structural work and site infrastructure makes this one of the most development-ready parcels in the city. With retaining walls, caissons, reinforced foundations, and utility access in place, this is a shovel-ready canvas for a visionary homeowner or developer.

Key Features:

Prime Location
Tucked away on a peaceful street in Upper Bel Air, the property enjoys the serenity of hillside living while remaining mere minutes from Beverly Hills, Westwood, Holmby Hills, and Sunset Boulevard. The elevation provides potential for unobstructed city, canyon, and ocean views, depending on final design.

Entitlement for a Grand 15,000 SF Estate
The property is entitled to build a custom residence totaling just under 15,000 square feet, providing the framework for a landmark home that maximizes the site’s potential. With conceptual renderings and structural groundwork already laid, a significant portion of the planning journey is already complete.

Substantial Completed Work (Over $8.1M in Verified Improvements)
The lot underwent a court-supervised, professionally engineered demolition, executed by Sahara Construction Company under the oversight of court-appointed receiver Douglas P. Wilson. This process carefully removed an unauthorized structure while preserving essential geotechnical and structural features.

Existing completed work includes:

• Entrance wall: 2,110 CY concrete – $2,110,000
• Three major retaining walls:
  • Wall #1: 1,101 CY – $1,101,000
  • Wall #2: 522 CY – $522,000
  • Additional Retaining Wall (House #1): 489 CY – $489,000
• 286 Deep Caissons for slope stabilization and future structural support
  • 30” x 212 units = 1,575 CY – $2,362,500
  • 36” x 74 units = 796 CY – $1,194,000
• Architectural Entry Gate – $25,000
• Concrete Driveway Entrance – $22,500
• Mobilization & General Site Work – $300,000

These elements represent an investment of over $8.1 million, significantly enhancing the lot’s buildability and long-term value.

Engineered Retaining Walls
Three approved and structurally engineered retaining walls remain on site. Envision Engineering, Inc. confirmed their integrity and recommended they remain in place to support soil stability and enable safe future development. Mid-level slabs and retaining walls were preserved as part of this effort.

Verified Structural Stability
Per the Final Structural Report (July 2022), the demolition improved the overall structural condition of the site. The engineers noted careful execution, safety redundancies, and site conditions that exceed the original stability metrics.

Ready for Development
No city demolition permit was required, as the previous structure was deemed unpermitted. This streamlined the process and ensured the site is clear of code violations or legal entanglements, ready for immediate design and construction efforts.

Additional Value Infrastructure

• Existing water and electric service access points
• Preserved slabs-on-grade and hillside support
• Erosion and drainage mitigation measures
• Verified caisson layout for future deep-foundation anchoring

Architectural Vision
Preliminary conceptual renderings are available, offering inspiration for a grand, multi-level contemporary estate that harmonizes with the hillside terrain and expansive vistas. The site’s structural readiness provides flexibility and creative freedom for custom architectural ambitions.

Summary
901 Strada Vecchia Road is more than just a lot—it’s a strategically prepped, structurally sound, and development-ready platform for a future landmark estate. With $8M+ in structural improvements already in place, including retaining walls, deep caissons, and concrete infrastructure, this property offers an unmatched head start in the Bel Air luxury market.
