"PEOPLE ARE FINDING the charm of Rolling
Hills very appealing right now," says real estate agent Suzanne
Dyer. This agent has a focus on the special, sprawling proper-
ties tucked behind the gates of this private enclave, a place
where luxe ranch residences and free-flowing lots have made
the community a magnet for those seeking the calming balm of
nature since its incorporation in the late-1950's. In the last year
or so, with the pandemic reworking the lines between work and
home, there's been a renewed emphasis on making the most of
one's residence. "We've seen a boom to this community," she
points out. "People who work from home are looking for larger
homes on larger pieces of land."
Head up the hillside in Rolling Hills along Lower Blackwater
Canyon Road, conveniently just a half mile from one of three
entrance gates, all manned 24 hours a day. Along the crest of a
hill is a ranch, spanning more than five acres, that deftly presents
an atmosphere that's both manicured and charmingly rustic."You
have size as well as beauty," notes Dyer. There's nature, too, and
space for small livestock. A working chicken coop is where you
can gather fresh eggs for breakfast. Along with places to build
housing for goats and pigs, the property has a flat section of land
that's ideal for constructing a pickleball court or additional guest
home. "This large vacant area really contributes to the sense of
open space and privacy," says Dyer.
A horse barn and paddock is another plum option. "There are
miles of trails in this neighborhood," she points out, "so the
hiking and horseback riding is unparalleled in this commu-
nity." One can stroll along well-tended, private trails to reach the
pinnacle of Palos Verdes, and with it, epic ocean and peninsula
views. Founded on sustaining the equestrian lifestyle, Rolling
Hills is also mapped with leafy riding trails, some with meander-
ing streams running alongside.
