Streisand agrees her donated ranch can be sold

Barbra Streisand says she understands that California might have to sell her donated 22.5-acre Malibu ranch to help balance the state budget but she hopes the buyer will preserve its "special habitat". Ramirez Canyon Park, which the singer donated in 1993, is on the list of state-owned properties that Governor Jerry Brown wants to put up for sale despite fierce opposition. The property contains meadows, gardens, a creek and three homes that Streisand customised with a wealth of architectural detail ranging from Art Deco metal panels to Douglas fir framing on a Craftsman-style house. "I only hope that there is little disruption to the residents of Ramirez Canyon through this potential transition and that whatever entity does purchase the land and the homes on it will preserve its special habitat," said Streisand
