Zorthain Ranch

This is hard to describe so I will make it as short as I can. You can look it up for hard facts as there is too much of a story to repeat here.
After WWII Jirayr Zorthain bought land at the foothills of Altadena. I would loosely call him an eccentric Artist. He had many friends. Using all donated or discarded materials he built an elaborate house/​recreational art/​sculpture/​compound dedicated to the Arts. His artist friends made their own contributions over the years. This is an ongoing process even though he died a few years ago. There are also some fine art quality paintings that he or his friends created. It has been and is still used as a Movie/​Photo location.
Some of the family still lives there and I was able to go on a tour recently. It is a little disorganized now and has a lot of possibilities. Just remember this is not Disneyland, it is best thought of as a memorial to an original kind of artist with too little time to live. 120 years is what he thought was needed to complete the plans he had. He lived to be 92.
I expect you will either love it or hate it here. I don’t think there will be many mediocre opinions. My wife and I… Loved it.
