Lancaster and Palmdale are the fastest growing cities in the State of
California. Prices have been leaping forward since the expansion started
in the 1990's. This land is only
67 miles from Downtown L.A. I spoke to the
neighbor at 14645 E. Avenue R8 and she said that the county is going to be
adding power lines to the area very soon. She thought within 5 or 6
months.
Plenty of room for a weekend outing or afternoon picnic. This lot is
approximately 34,848 sq. ft. This land is located in the very desirable
County of Los Angeles. There are no roads built yet to the property.
You can go shopping in Lancaster, Palmdale or Lake Los Angeles. The land
is located close to all three locations. Lancaster and Palmdale are very
large cities with populations above 300,000 people. Lake Los Angeles has a
population above 11,000 people. This entire valley is booming with growth.
There is a home located very near to the property (14650 E Avenue R8). This land
is a good investment for the future. There is a great view surrounding the
parcel. I think the best use for this land is for camping and OHV use.
You can build here, but you would need to add the necessary utilities.
The taxes are current. Taxes are billed biyearly for April and
December of each year. Buyer will need to reimburse me for any prepaid
taxes.
If you have questions about building, please call the County Planning
Department. Personally, I would call the Lancaster office first.
There are many ways to use this property. The Planning Department can help
you with questions concerning building. Tell them the parcel number
is 3040-031-030.

Nestled among the rolling foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains, in the northern part of Los Angeles County just an hours drive from the bustling metropolis of Los Angeles, is the small agricultural community of Littlerock. Graced by four seasons, with snow in the winter, 100 degree heat in the summer, the beauty of blossoms and ripening fruit in the spring, and the changing color of leaves in the orchards in the fall, all accentuated with the year-round majesty of the native Joshua trees, Littlerock is truly a place of natural splendor.The territory was occupied by peaceful tribes of Piute and Runner Indians until the mid 1860's when the first settler moved in, bringing a flock of sheep and building an adobe home along the creek. When he was killed in 1886 by a grizzly bear, his place became a refuge for bandits. In the 1890's a settlement was started that was to become the foundation of Littlerock. The settlers planted 2000 acres of almond trees. The trees were early bloomers, and the sometimes unpredictable cold weather destroyed most of the crop. A few of the settlers had also planted pear trees, but these thrived and lived on to start the legend of the pear belt. A few almonds can be found today, but most have been cut for firewood. In 1901 the first ton of pears was shipped to the Mott Market in Los Angeles for $40 per ton F.O.B. Palmdale. The first business in Littlerock was a blacksmith shop opened in 1890. The area at that time was called Alpine Springs Colony. In 1892 it was changed to Tierra Bonita by a developer, and in 1893 the town became Littlerock and the first post office was established. The first general store was opened in 1894, but failed after the first year because there were so few people living in the area. A school was started in a shed in 1911, with the first school house opening on March 13, 1913. The one room school served until 1923 when two rooms were added. Keppel Union School District was formed in 1922. In 1914 the first library was formed in the old stone house still standing on 77th St. East and Pearblossom Hwy. The county supplied 222 books. In its first year of operation, the library lent books out 577 times to a total of 47 cardholders. The library moved to its present location on 80th St. in 1999, and lends up to 25,500 books annually. To serve the irrigation needs of the orchards, Littlerock Dam was built in 1924. The dam is an Eastwood cement multiple arch buttress dam and is one of several built in the Western U.S. It is considered a historical architectural monument. It is located in the Angeles National Forest adjacent to Littlerock and serves as a recreational facility for off-road vehicles, fishing, boating, equestrian trails and camping. This is a popular retreat and can be enjoyed year-round. The Littlerock Chamber of Commerce was founded in 1949 after serving many years as the Antelope Valley Landowners Association. In 1950 three members of the newly formed Chamber went to Sacramento and made such an impressive appeal that they received funding to build the bridge over Littlerock Creek on the west side of town. The Chamber continues to serve the needs of the local businesses as well hosting various community events for the residents. Littlerock is the largest un-incorporated community in the Antelope Valley and is known as "The Fruit Basket of the Antelope Valley." The town is a series of orchards and homes and the highway is lined with fruit stands, U-pick orchards and small businesses that serve the needs of local residents as well as the high volume of tourist traffic. Littlerock has 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school and 1 high school to serve not only our local children, but the surrounding areas of Pearblossom, Juniper Hills and Lake Los Angeles. A junior college is now being planned for the area as well. There are two county operated parks to serve the needs of the community. Littlerock has numerous churches of many denominations. |
