**5,600-Acre Rancho Temescal Hits the Market for $44 Million**
Rancho Temescal, a sprawling 5,600-acre estate nestled in the Topatopa foothills near Lake Piru, is now on the market for $44 million. The iconic property represents a rare opportunity combining cinematic legacy, active commercial operations, and significant development potential. Bill McDavid, a real estate partner at land brokerage firm Hall and Hall, holds the listing.
The estate was long owned by the late financier Jed Cohen and his son Tim, who acquired it from Texaco. Over the years, Rancho Temescal has served as a favored filming location. Beyond its Hollywood ties, the property is also a fully operational ranch featuring an array of amenities. These include extensive equestrian facilities such as an 18-stall main barn, approximately 600 acres of irrigated farmland primarily cultivating lemons and avocados, a dedicated events venue, and an active oil drilling operation—all part of the offering.
According to Hall and Hall, the ranch presents a unique opportunity for investors, developers, or high-net-worth individuals to acquire a historically rich and commercially viable property located just 45 minutes northwest of Downtown Los Angeles.
