The Murphy Ranch is an abandoned ranch in Rustic Canyon, Los Angeles, built in the 1930s by Winona and Norman Stevens. There is evidence to confirm that the ranch was purchased with the expectation that it would become a pro-Nazi enclave and even a residence for Third Reich officials after the US "defeat" of World War II.[1][2][3][4][5]
From 1950-1965, the property was owned by the Huntington Hartford Foundation, which operated it as an artists' retreat.[6][5]
The site, now abandoned and in a state of disrepair, is currently owned by the city of Los Angeles.
