Fernwood, Topanga

We wouldn’t be surprised if the host of this century-old cottage was in fact a fairy godmother and the home itself were to turn back into a pumpkin at the stroke of midnight. There's a distinct fairytale feel to the interior, which is bursting with folkloric design, a whimsical colour scheme and charming architectural features — chandeliers hang from the ceiling and gilded mirror frames sit on the wall waiting to be asked who's the fairest of them all.

Situated high in the mountains above Malibu overlooking untouched mountainous parkland, this home really is something to marvel at. Organically hidden amongst the greenery of the mountainside, you'll feel at one with nature.

Topanga, California

This Palisades pad has it all – bright, modern interiors, stunning Pacific Ocean views, and a great location, too. It's practically next door to the Getty Villa, and it's just a ten-minute walk down to Ratner Beach and a short car ride to the iconic Santa Monica Pier – doesn't get much better than that.

Radiating style, this architectural paradise is undoubtedly one of the more glamorous and unique homes in our Los Angeles edit. It's high above the Malibu surf, so you can soak up the sunshine while watching the changing moods of the Pacific.
