Located in the equestrian gated community of Portuguese Bend

Rancho Palos Verdes, Thyme Place is a small cul-de-sac street with five homes. This spectacular property features two separate parcels totaling over 1.7 acres and offers expansive, unobstructed views of the blue Pacific Ocean, Catalina Island and city lights. You can enjoy watching whales migrating to Mexico and later returning to Alaska, playful dolphins, sailboats or even peacocks parading right in front of you! The Portuguese Riding Club, Terranea Resort, Abalone Club and Trump National Golf Course are all nearby.

In 2004, architect Edward Carson Beall, a natural history buff and collector of fossils and antiques, designed a Tuscan-style farmhouse on this land with pool and guest house.This unusual and special property hs changed hands a few times since then. The last owner purchased th e home over a year ago, planning to move in after retirement from the Northeast Coast. Unfortunately, business commitments have prevented her from ever moving here. After this year's unusual rains and storms, the Portuguese Bend soil has become even more unstable. Therefore, the house is now offered primarily for its land value. It's up to the buyer to decide if it's possible to save this special house. Perhaps it can be a magical place again.
