About This Home
As of August 2025Behind a gate in Topanga's coveted Lower Fernwood neighborhood, you'll find this enchanting artist compound in a storybook setting of meandering paths, foot bridges, seasonal streams, native plants and lichen-covered boulders. The main one-bedroom 1927 cabin boasts vaulted ceilings, a tastefully updated kitchen with Carrera marble countertops and custom cabinetry, and a sunny dining area with commanding views across the park-like grounds. At the other end of a shaded brick walkway, past a serene, burbling fountain, you'll find a charming guest house. With its own bedroom, bathroom with clawfoot tub, kitchen area, private patio, pet enclosure, and deck, it provides an ideal retreat for guests, or flexible rental opportunities. Two more stand-alone studio spaces, each with their own bathrooms, privacy, views, and beautiful dappled light, set against towering, mature tress and verdant landscaping, complete this once-in-a-lifetime chance to become a part of the Topanga story. Raised garden beds, a sizable chicken coop, a second pet enclosure, and an outdoor shower and tub set among the rocks and flowers, ensure that this edenic sanctuary will feel like home to your loved ones on two legs or four.
