Artists and craftspeople have long been drawn to Topanga Canyon for its natural beauty and inspiring landscape. And it's this quality of magic that dances in the air and draws you into this stunning five-acre mountainside retreat. As you step inside, there's a sense of harmony with the natural elements that feels deeply restorative. The large windows in the open-plan living and kitchen area fill the space with light, whilst also offering panoramic views of the Santa Monica Mountains. This is one of the best spots to watch the sunset. Every detail of this home has been thoughtfully designed to create a deep sense of relaxation. Outside there’s a hot tub, meditation deck, and plunge pool. Spend lazy afternoons swinging in a hammock, or cook with locally sourced ingredients in the outdoor kitchen. You’ll love gathering with friends in the garden or simply enjoying the stillness this setting provides. As the day draws to a close enjoy an outdoor shower overlooking the canyon, or soak in the copper tub. Wherever you are in this home, it inspires a deep appreciation for the magic and beauty of life.
