The Partitioning of Rancho Los Palos Verdes

CONTENTS
By maureen megoWan / re/max Palos Verdes execs
Home of tHe Week

Beginning in 1840, the Sepulveda family (consisting of Juan Capistrano Sepulveda and Jose Loreto Sepulveda ( the two oldest surviving sons of Jose Diego Sepulveda who had grazed cattle on the Rancho Los Palos Verdes since 1809 and had won a Spanish land grant for the Rancho), two younger brothers Jose Diego Sepulveda and ygnacio Rafael Sepulveda, and their sister Maria Teresa Sepulveda), began to sell or mortgage a large portion of their interest in the Rancho. In July 1840, Ygnacio Sepulveda surrendered his 20% interest to his brother-in-law Nathaniel Pryor for $50. During the ten year period from 1855 to 1865, the Sepulvedas incurred significant financial difficulties, including a severe drought in 1862-1864 which wiped out most of their cattle herd. During this time, the family began to incur significant debt. In 1855, Juan Capistrano Sepulveda mortgaged his 20% share of the Rancho which then went into foreclosure, but it was then purchased for $3,000 in 1858 by Jose Diego Sepulveda, Juans younger brother, who had previously sold his 20% interest in the Rancho in 1849 to a man named Santiego Johnson. In 1855, Jose then deeded 12 acres of land back to his older brother. In 1869, Jose Diego Sepulveda died, and left his 20% interest in the Rancho to his sons. Narbonne & Weston, two sheep herders, bought a 10% interest in the Rancho from Jose Loreto Sepulveda for $4,000 in 1872. Twitter@SouthBayDigs www.facebook.com/SouthBayDigs www.youtube.com/SouthBayDigs Search the MLS for homes, check out our interactive digital editions, view open houses, & research the local real estate market at In December 1872, Jotham Bixby bought the 20% interest in the Rancho claimed by Maria Sepulveda. In August 1874, Jose Loreto Sepulveda mortgaged his remaining 15% interest in the Rancho which was foreclosed on in 1879, and then purchased by Jotham Bixby. In 1874, Bixby purchased the 20% interest in the Rancho claimed by Santiego Johnsons heirs at a public auction. This brought Bixbys total interest in the Rancho to approx. 45%. During these years, Bixby made additional purchases of a portion of the Rancho. Numerous additional lawsuits were filed in the mid-1870s disputing ownership of the land making up the Rancho, due to parties sometimes buying or selling the same claimed interest, and requesting partitioning of the land. During the period from 1865 to 1880, the Sepulvedas were engaged in 78 lawsuits, six land partitions suits, and 12 suits over eviction of squatters. From 1878-1882 the land was held in receivership. Sadly, Jose Loreto Sepulveda (who had sold or mortgaged his entire interest in the Rancho) died in 1881, a broken man.

The
COTTAGE
99 VANDERLIP DR., RANCHO PALOS VERDES
Once in a lifetime opportunity to own both a beautiful home as well as a piece of history. Frank Vanderlip, the original developer of Palos Verdes, constructed this home as his first estate on the Peninsula in 1916 in the Portuguese Bend area, which he called the Old Ranch Cottage, now known as the Cottage. This was one of the first homes on the Palos Verdes Peninsula. The Cottage, located at 99 Vanderlip Drive, is ideally situated at the top of the Portuguese Bend community behind private gates, and adjacent to the famous Vanderlip Mansion. The home has incredible ocean and Catalina views, and the site was hand-picked by Mr. Vanderlip as the ideal location on the Peninsula for views and the consistency of its delightful climate. The Cottage has 4 bedrooms, 4 baths, and is approx. 3,866 sq. ft. There is also an adjacent guest house. Both the dining room and living room exude a Victorian style of the 1920s. The 3 upstairs bedrooms are very large, especially the Master Bedroom, with spectacular ocean views. The private entrance drive is up a beautiful tree lined promenade ending at the entrance to the Vanderlip Mansion and The Cottage. The sense of history and exclusivity of the home, combined with its beautiful architecture, pool area, and views, makes The Cottage one of the most unique homes on the Palos Verdes Peninsula.

OUR MOST RECENT LISTING SOLD IN 5 DAYS!
Selling your Home? Let me show you how to realize Optimum Home Value
Step 1: Intelligent Pricing.
You gain maximum exposure and reach a greater total percentage of prospective buyers when you price your property at market value. If your home is listed at a price that is above market value, you will miss out on prospective buyers who would otherwise be prime candidates to purchase your home. Contrarily, if you list your home at a price that is below market value, you will ultimately sell for a price that is not the optimum value for your home.
Step 2: Time Value of Money

A critical success factor when pricing your home is timing. A property attracts the most attention, excitement and interest from the real estate community and potential buyers when it is first listed on the market. If your home is priced improperly at the initial listing phase, or peak interest period, your property may languish on the market. Ultimately, this may lead to a below market value sale price, or worse, no sale at all. Therefore, your home has the greatest probability for a optimum value sale when it is new on the market and the price is reasonable established.
Step 3: Optimum Home Value = P x T Call me for a private consultation!

SPOTLIGHT ON REDONDO BEACH

North or South Redondo that is the question . . . Redondo Beach, CA When you first set foot in the South Bay everyone talks about the Beach Cities. Which one is better? Where should I live? What is the difference? As it relates to Redondo Beach, it really is separated into two completely different areas. The majority of South Redondo Beach is on the coast and lies directly South of Hermosa Beach. North Redondo Beach is not on the coast and lies directly East of the entire city of Hermosa Beach. They are distinctly divided by zip codes: South Redondo is 90277 and North Redondo is 90278. Of course, like most of the beach cities, there are very distinct neighborhoods throughout North and South Redondo Beach. The city gets its charm from the diverse architecture and zoning that exists. Besides the commercially zoned areas, the residential zones are divided into areas that range from R1-- which typically designates a single family home area--to R4 which is much more dense. The more dense areas have allowed for construction of apartments, condominiums and town homes. Matter of fact, it is not uncommon to see all of them on one block. You can see a turn of the century home (or California Bungalow as they refer to it), a duplex sitting next to a 4 unit apartment building, and sitting right next to that may be a brand new 2-on-alot town home. The term eclectic would certainly describe a few of the streets in the area. As it relates to Real Estate and prices what really is the difference between North and South? We will start with South Redondo Beach. Because of the proximity to the beach and water, South Redondo has typically remained more expensive than North Redondo. Many of the homes offer views of the Pacific Ocean and if you are located West of Pacific Coast Highway you are just a short walk or stroll to the beach. South Redondo is home to some of the very last remaining (and very charming), original Craftsman and Victorian homes that remind us of the early history of the South Bay; many of which are protected as historic homes of California, and most benefit from the Mills Act. (The Mills Act requires the County Tax Assessor to re-evaluate the property using a capitalization method rather than the market value. The benefit to the homeowner is a substantial reduction in property taxes for the post Proposition 13 qualified historic properties. The money saved from the reduced property tax is made available for the homeowner to use to maintain and restore the structure.) As you head to the most Southern part of the city, you will find the Riviera Village, a commercial area with quaint little shops, terrific restaurants, and other boutique eateries. Being walking distance to this area is a huge draw. The only drawback is you will have to extend your commute by a few miles if you typically head North to Los Angeles for work. The homes range in size from very small, one and two bedroom bungalows, to beautiful, 6,000 square foot estate-style homes. The lot sizes range as dramatically from postage-stamp sized lots that are just slightly larger than the small bungalows, to lots well over 9,000 square feet which offer tremendous back yards. Along the coast, you will find the only high-rise style buildings in the Beach Cities. These buildings were mostly developed back in the 1970s and early 80s. They are made up of mostly one and two bedroom condominiums, and are affordable by beach standards. Many of them have spectacular views of the ocean and coastline, and are within walking distance to either the Pier area or the Village. Nearly all of the area South of Torrance Boulevard and East of Pacific Coast Highway has maintained the R1 zoning, allowing just one home per lot. The streets take on an interesting thematic history in South Redondo. Starting at the Northern most street (just South of 190th), all of the streets that travel East and West are named after gems, and some of them were known to exist in this area as early as the 1700s. The first street is Agate, then Beryl, Carnelian, Diamond, and so on. The streets that travel North and South are all womens names in reference to the Dominguez heirs from whom the Redondo Company purchased 1,400 acres back in 1887. Youll see the girl streets as you travel West from Prospect Ave: Paulina, Francisca, Gertruda, Helberta, Irena , Juanita, etc. In what is known as the Clifton Area, South of Knob Hill, the East-West streets are referred to as The Alphabet Streets, as they are named after letters of the alphabet. The Hollywood Riviera section is actually in the City of Torrance, but has a 90277 zip code. It has a rich history as an elite coastal hide-away for the wealthy families of the 1930s-1950s. Excellence in education continues to be a high priority for Redondo Beach and its resident parents. South Redondo is home to the citys only High School, Redondo Union High, which was opened in 1905 and has a long history of award winning education, arts & sports programs. South Redondo middle school children attend Parras Middle School (grades 6-8), which runs along Prospect Avenue. There are three elementary schools, Beryl, Alta Vista, and Tulita. In 2010 Beryl Elementary scored 10 of 10 in statewide ranking and has a base API score of 948 (as compared to Manhattan Beach elementary schools which scored between 937 and 966 in 2010. To summarize, South Redondo offers many housing options that suit a range of budgets as well as fabulous restaurants & shopping, outstanding education, but can be little bit of an extra commute to the freeway compared to North Redondo. And with its gently curving, tree-lined streets, upslope hillside lots that can capture great views, and/or many vantage points that offer great proximity to the beach, South Redondo is typically more expensive than North Redondo. In comparison, North Redondo is very popular due to.... (to be continued in the next issue of Digs! Watch for it! )

While the trail also has beautiful ocean views, the hills have some of the best and most brilliantly colored wildflowers throughout the peninsula, specifically bright orange indian paintbrush or cup-shaped mariposa lilies. this was not done yesterday, it was done millions and millions of years ago, raue said.

There isnt another home like this anywhere in the Hollywood Riviera. This magnificent Tuscan-Mediterranean home was custom built in 2004 and features extraordinary details throughout. The 3,300 square foot home includes an additional 850 square foot finished basement with over 9-foot ceilings -- something unheard of in the South Bay. This bonus area can be a game room, kids room, home gym or entertainment center. The home has a spectacular, flowing floor plan, and includes 5 spacious bedrooms (one of which is now used as a built-in office), and 4 bathrooms. Entertaining is a breeze when you live here, as the backyard includes an outdoor kitchen, fireplace and built-in barbeque. This one-of-a-kind home is a short walk to Riviera Elementary School, Rocketship Park and the Palos Verdes Bridle Trail.
