The story
A truly special Topanga retreat where nature, creativity, and privacy come together. Tucked into a peaceful setting overlooking privately owned Bonnell Park, this 4 bed, 2 bath residence is set on a generous lot of over 10,000 square feet. Surrounded by mature trees and native landscaping, the property feels wonderfully secluded while remaining conveniently connected to the heart of the Canyon, nearby trails, and the coast. Lovingly maintained and thoughtfully updated, the home blends warmth, craftsmanship, and character with modern comforts. Floor-to-ceiling Douglas Fir doors and windows, hardwood floors, soaring wood-beamed ceilings, and abundant natural light create an unmistakably Topanga atmosphere. The stainless-steel kitchen features a Viking range and space for cooking, gathering, and everyday living. Outdoors, a covered patio and hot tub overlook the lush, Zen-like grounds, creating a private setting for relaxing and entertaining. The converted attached garage provides flexible additional living space, while a separate, upgraded studio features high ceilings and plumbing, making it ideal as a home office, guest space, art studio, or creative retreat. Set amid the greenery, a charming playhouse/yoga space offers another peaceful spot to unwind or create. Additional features include 32 owned solar panels along with eco-conscious improvements addressing earthquake and fire safety. Just moments from hiking and equestrian trails, Topanga State Park and Red Rock Canyon, with easy access to Topanga Beach and the Malibu coastline. The heart of the Canyon offers an eclectic collection of cafs, restaurants, galleries, boutiques, and local markets, including Cafe Mimosa, Canyon Bistro, Waterlily Cafe, Endless Color, Topanga Creek General Store, Canyon Gourmet, and the shops of Pine Tree Circle and Topanga Center. A rare opportunity to experience the privacy, natural beauty, and creative spirit that have long made Topanga one of Southern California's most distinctive communities.
