An extraordinary and truly rare offering in Pacific Palisades, 1001 Rivas Canyon Road is a premier 3.31-acre estate parcel presenting a seamless path to creating a world-class legacy compound. The sale includes approved Architectural Plans and Permits for a once-in-a-generation tennis court estate and the existing two-story guest house with attached garage -- a versatile feature for convenience throughout the construction process. Rich in provenance and prestige, this iconic property was once the personal residence of the renowned Will Rogers and later home to acclaimed actress Michelle Pfeiffer. Tucked away along a private road above Sunset Boulevard and surrounded by fewer than 20 estate parcels, the setting affords an exceptional level of privacy and seclusion. Curated for the most discerning buyer, the offering is fully primed for development with plans for a magnificent gated estate anchored by a two-story main residence spanning over 10,400 square feet with 6 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms. The compound is thoughtfully envisioned to include the remodeled two-story guest house with attached garage, a pool house, and a championship tennis court complete with pavilion, lighting, and viewing deck, all set within expansive, resort-caliber grounds. The architectural design pays homage to the character of the original residence with a timeless brick facade and natural slate roof, while introducing refined modern living through grand-scale interiors, seamless indoor-outdoor flow, a luxurious main-level primary suite, library, executive office, and attached three-car garage. Complementing the vision, the sale includes a Geological Report (2024), ALTA Title Survey (2024), and the final debris removal permit, delivering a valuable foundation for development. Zoned for equestrian use and inclusive of the approved plans and existing two-story guest house structure, the property offers both versatility and enduring appeal. Ideally positioned just moments from Palisades Village, the Riviera Country Club, renowned dining and shopping, and approximately two miles from the Pacific Ocean, this is a rare opportunity to create a landmark estate in one of the Westside's most coveted coastal enclaves -- an offering of exceptional scale, history, and opportunity.
