The Murphy Ranch is an abandoned ranch in Rustic Canyon, Los Angeles, built in the 1930s by Winona and Norman Stevens. A long-running urban legend claims the ranch was built to serve as a pro-Nazi enclave.[1][2][3][4]
From 1950-1965, the property was owned by the Huntington Hartford Foundation, which operated it as an artists' retreat.[5][6]
The site, now abandoned and in a state of disrepair, is currently owned by the city of Los Angeles.
