The story
It has been seven years since a home in Sullivan Canyon has transacted for less than our asking price. Tucked away at the quiet end of a cul-de-sac in Brentwood's coveted Sullivan Canyon, 1809 Melhill Way offers a rare opportunity to own equestrian land in one of the Westside's most treasured canyon settings. Past mature fruit trees and four horse corrals, a long private driveway winds uphill, where this single-story 1950s ranch house is perched. Surrounded by lush canyon greenery and open sky, the property feels remarkably removed from the city, offering the privacy, space, and natural beauty that have long made Sullivan Canyon such a special enclave. Inside, the home retains the warmth and character of its era. A generous living and dining space is anchored by a dramatic stone fireplace, with high-pitched ceilings and abundant natural light creating an inviting connection to the landscape beyond. The kitchen includes a breakfast area with its own brick fireplace, while sliding doors open to a rear patio framed by the greenery of the canyon. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a laundry room, and ample storage complete the existing residence. For the equestrian, nature lover, or visionary buyer, the property speaks in possibility. Restore the existing ranch and embrace its timeless California character, or imagine something new that takes full advantage of the scale, privacy, and exceptional setting of the land. With horse corrals already in place and LARE40 zoning, opportunities of this size and character are increasingly difficult to find in Brentwood. A two-car garage and expansive motor court provide generous parking, while the surrounding mature landscape gives the property an almost hidden, pastoral quality. Peaceful and seemingly worlds away, yet just minutes from the heart of Brentwood, 1809 Melhill Way is a rare Sullivan Canyon offering where horses, canyon living, and the possibilities of the land come together in one extraordinary setting.
