The 47-acre property of Alice Coltrane in Southern California that is split into two 23-acre lots is for sale at $2.5 million each. "They're both for sale,'' listing agent Nona Green says. "They naturally want to go together, but they can be sold separately.'' Alice Coltrane who died at age 69 in 2007 was known as a sparkling musician who joined the John Coltrane Quartet as a pianist in the '60s. The late wife of jazz saxophonist John Coltrane was a harpist, pianist, and composer, and later became a swami, and founded an ashram in Agoura Hills, CA, in 1983. When her husband died in 1967, she raised their four children and became a "seeker of spiritual truth,'' according to her website.
The Realtor posted that according to The New York Times, after traveling to India, Coltrane returned to establish a spiritual community on this property where 25 to 30 full-time residents would "study the Vedic scripture.'' "The [Coltrane] kids grew up there, had summers there,'' Green says. "It has the distinction of being close [to the city], and yet it seems like you're a world away. It's very rural. You don't see any neighbors,'' Green adds. The place is roughly 30 minutes from downtown LA and 10 minutes to the beach.
Agoura Horse Property said that the property of Alice Coltrane in Southern California is a refuge for wildlife including owl, hawk, deer, trout, and turtles. It consists of two parcels at approximately 23.5 acres each. The two parcels of land have an access road from Triunfo Canyon Road, and there is a bridge across the creek to acres of rolling land. There are several residences in the area, accessory structures, a water well and storage tank, and sewer connection. The other half north of the land connects with hiking trails. This property would make an ideal private estate site for one or two homes. Owner prefers to sell both parcels together.
