About This Home
A hidden gem at the end of the road in the heart of Topanga Canyon's most sought-after Fernwood neighborhood, known for its ideal coastal weather, and set on a lush acre of land abutting parkland, this one-of-a-kind three-unit compound offers a rare blend of privacy, natural beauty, and creative, soulful living. Surrounded by canyon views and mature landscaping, the property unfolds as a peaceful oasis where each of the three independent residences has been thoughtfully designed to feel both connected and distinctly its own. Meandering paths, layered outdoor spaces, and quiet corners invite moments of reflection, gathering, and inspiration. Each unit features its own entrance and unique character, with warm, eclectic finishes, abundant natural light, and a relaxed indoor-outdoor flow. The spaces are both functional and inviting, ideal for extended stays, hosting guests, or simply enjoying the rhythm of canyon life. The newly renovated main house features two bedrooms, plus a flex space and an office/den, along with three gorgeously renovated baths, a dining patio overlooking the canyon, and a private gym with Peloton, Tempo, sauna and cold plunge. The primary suite is drenched in natural light, with double doors opening to the lawn and pergola with outdoor seating, and includes a spacious walk-in closet and a state-of-the-art gorgeous bath with soaking tub and double shower. The Bungalow, a separate guest house with its own secluded outdoor space, offers one bedroom, one bath, and a full kitchen. The Pool House Oasis, set on a separate parcel, is a world of its own, a tiny house set within a lush canyon landscape, complete with an infinity pool and surrounded by ancient oaks and meandering paths leading to secluded, boulder-clad hideaways. A large teepee provides an ideal setting for sound baths or group sessions, while a Flow Hive beehive nestled among a cactus garden, along with a fallen oak turned jungle gym, adds to the whimsy of this magical compound. The property also includes a self-contained Healing Room, thoughtfully set up for bodywork, reiki, and energy practices. The property's elevated position captures expansive views and unmatched privacy, creating a true sense of retreat while remaining remarkably close to everything. Just minutes away, you'll find scenic trails within the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy, Topanga State Park, and Tuna Canyon. The vibrant shops and cafes of Topanga Town Center, along with the iconic beaches of Malibu, are all within a short drive. Whether envisioned as a multi-generational sanctuary, a healing retreat, or a flexible live-and-rent opportunity, the compound offers rare versatility, balancing peaceful seclusion with ample parking and accessibility to some of Southern California's most sought-after destinations.A truly special property where nature, creativity, and possibility come together. Stated square footage does not include Pool House, Healing room or gym.
