The story
Tucked against protected land , this 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom retreat offers a rare, immersive connection to nature with exceptional privacy and serenity. Designed by renowned architect Ed Niles, the home blends a soulful post modern and contemporary aesthetic with subtle elements that reflect the Topanga lifestyle. Surrounded by untouched chaparral, the home comes alive with birdsong in the mornings and the chorus of tree frogs and owls in the evenings. Expansive windows capture rolling fog drifting below, sweeping mountain views, and even ocean glimpses from the bedroom balcony where hummingbirds hover nearby. Nights offer incredible stargazing. The thoughtfully designed layout provides distinct spaces for work, creativity, and relaxation, balancing quiet retreat with effortless entertaining. Generous room sizes create an understated sense of luxury, while seamless indoor outdoor flow connects the living areas to the patio. Soft landscape lighting enhances the ambiance, adding warmth and intrigue to evenings outdoors, and smart lighting throughout allows for easy transitions between bright and ambient settings. The grounds are planted predominantly with native species to support local birds and butterflies, and wildlife sightings are part of daily life. Widely described by guests as calming and restorative, this is a home that offers not just a place to live, but a truly elevated, nature immersed experience, all while being just minutes from dining, shopping, and entertainment in Calabasas and Malibu.
