and still enjoy the convenience of Suburbia?

from Malibu Beaches and close to the 101 freeway, yet
seemingly miles and miles from civilization.

and United States Pony Club of America. No Homeowner's
Association Dues other than an annual contribution of
$25 for the BBQ and other events. A legal fund to fight
over-development; the residents here are quite

demand privacy and open spaces.

HORSE FRIENDLY
OLD AGOURA
You can tell that Old Agoura is a Horse Community
with this Reminder: Whoa Down!
Residents are asked to drive slowly and give Big Bertha
some room. Even going the speed-limit may be going too
fast for some horse folks. there is a bridle easement
and horses are pedestrians and they have the right of
way. So when residents see these signs, they are
reminded "Horses present, Please slow down"
HISTORY
Known
originally as the Agourre Ranch, it later was
known as the Agoura Ranch. After William Randolph Hearst
purchased the property in the 1920's, it was known as
the Hearst Ranch. Hearst then leased the property to the
Russell family for cattle raising. In 1943, B.B.
Albertson purchased the 30,000 acre property from
Hearst. A portion of the Albertson Ranch was later
acquired by the State of California and is being
preserved for park land.

DIRECTIONS: From Los Angeles, take the 101 Freeway North
past the City of Calabasas. Exit at Chesebro Road and
turn right. Follow Chesebro Road north until you see the
entrance to the Chesebro Canyon Park. After parking,
take the hiking trail that heads east from the parking
area. After a short walk, you will see a road heading to
the south (right). Take that and you will be on the old
Agoura Ranch range.
