AGUA DULCE - Get Away From It All Rural Atmosphere

Please click here for New Home Tracts information.

Agua Dulce is located just north/east of Canyon Country.  It is sited in a corridor of land surrounded by national forest lands in the Sierra Pelona Valley.  It is only about a half hour drive to the edge of the San Fernando Valley and is a quiet enclave in which to enjoy life and still be within easy driving distance of a major metropolis. 

It is only briefly seen from the 14 freeway although there is a freeway off ramp. It is a lovely community of mostly custom built homes on larger acreage.  People from all walks of life are represented here.  Horse lovers, airplane lovers, stuntmen from the movie industry, film actors and actresses, vineyard owners, business owners and executives, police and firemen, and many, many others.  For it's size it has a couple of unusually excellent restaurants,  The Sweetwater Cafe (661.268.1213, the renowned Le Chene (661.251.4315), and Maria Bonita Mexican Restaurant (661.268.8004).

This small town is located between Sierra Highway and the 14 freeway.  It's most famous landmark is Vasquez Rocks itself at Vasquez Rocks County Park.  Many of you who have watched movies, TV and commercials, will find the rock formations very familiar.  The rocks are the site of the movie "The Flintstones" and many others.  The "Lone Ranger" series was filmed in this location. In fact, the whole Acton - Agua Dulce area has been the site of many movies.  As you drive along Sierra Highway you will often see film crews on the road or signs pointing to film locations.  It is particularly spectacular to see Vasquez Rocks lit up by movie lights at night. During the day, there are many spectacular walks down into the canyon or over the rocks themselves.  Don't miss this wonderful natural formation and it's beauty.

Agua Dulce Airpark has also been the site of many films and currently is under development as a housing tract with the airstrip as it's main feature.  Although the source of much contention at times within the community, it was a lifeline and center of operations for fire and rescue workers during the 1994 earthquake.  Many small airplanes are located here and the airstrip is well maintained.  It has attracted many newcomers to the area who enjoy flying small airplanes, has been the site of 4th of July celebrations and annual runs.  For pictures of the Agua Dulce area from the air and the airpark, please click here.  For pilots and local residents alike, the airpark has once again come alive.  There are barbeques on Saturday and Sunday from 11 am to 3 pm.  Click here for details on the Airpark Ranch.

Schools are excellent.  Acton-Agua Dulce School District has several Elementary schools, a Junior High School and Vasquez High School. Children are encouraged to engage in outdoor activities both in school and out.

The area elevation is around 3000 feet.  Agua Dulce enjoys four seasons.  There is often snow sprinkled on the ground during the winter and at times  quite a heavy fall.  The summers are hot but moderated by an afternoon breeze and marine layers that come in from the oceans.  In fact, the summer evening are cooler than those of Santa Clarita at lower elevation. In spring, the hills are covered with wildflowers notably the California Poppy and Lupin. Fall colors are appropriate especially in the vineyards.

All homes in Agua Dulce are either on their own wells or truck in water.  There is no public water system.  Most homes use propane, however, homes in the center of the town are on natural gas.  For the most part, cable is available and most homes have access to cable modem to access the Internet as well.  Septic systems take care of sewage.

So, if you want to to get away from the hectic city lifestyle, try Agua Dulce with its clear mountain air, beautiful sunrises and sunsets.  You can SEE the stars at night.  It is a close knit community where neighbors look after neighbors and you can enjoy doing whatever you like to do most, and relax.
