Look at the photographer's shadow (s p o o k y)! He looks like a silent film villain.



So is this ranch a part of the movie industry? (a place to learn stunts for westerns) -Like Inceville.
I need to check a map and see where Calabasas is exactly.
Sorry to disappoint you, e_r, but it looks like the ranch was named after the Stunt brothers. From stuntranch.ucnrs.org:

Quote:
The Stunt brothers, Harry, Walter, and Ernest – and their cousin Sidney from Kensington, England, homesteaded the Reserve land in the late 1800s, building a small cabin on the site around 1885. President Grover Cleveland approved the original homestead in 1889, and Presidents William McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt approved additional Stunt family homesteads in 1899 and 1904 respectively. The 300 sq. foot cabin, believed to be the first building in the Cold Creek area was completely destroyed, as were all other structures at Stunt Ranch, in the 1993 Malibu fire.
The ranch is on Stunt Road, about halfway between Calabasas and the ocean.
