Murphy Ranch

Murphy Ranch is an abandoned ranch in Rustic Canyon in the Santa Monica Mountains, built in the 1930s by Winona and Norman Stevens. A long-running urban legend claims the ranch was built to serve as a Nazi enclave. From 1950-1965, the property was owned by the Huntington Hartford Foundation, which operated it as an artists' retreat.
