Summary:
Experience the idyllic setting of this 3 bedroom, 3 bath, expansive mountain-top haven perched at the peak of the Santa Monica Mountains. Take in the natural scenic beauty of this 3-acre property with breathtaking mountain and city views, and experience a feeling of total seclusion despite being just a short drive from Topanga town center, Malibu beaches, Santa Monica, and Calabasas.
The Space:
This breathtaking two-story house, nestled at one of the highest peaks of the picturesque Santa Monica Mountains showcases million-dollar mountain views that can be seen from room to room. This home perfectly blends modern, global, and industrial décor to provide a chic and cozy environment.

After a full day of hiking, exploring, and sightseeing, rest and rejuvenate in the three plush bedrooms providing the comfort you need to continue writing your California fairy tale. When at home, immerse yourself in the natural surroundings with incredible views from throughout the house. Soak up the sun, barbeque, and keep cozy in the evenings around the fire pit on the expansive main deck. The lower floor provides added comfort with an additional family room and kitchenette.

The Neighborhood:
Topanga has a long history as a bohemian enclave with roots in the hippie movement of the 1960s. Topanga is also famous for its art and music scene and has been home to musicians such as Van Morrison, Woody Guthrie, and Neil Young. While Topanga is perfectly situated close to the world-famous communities of Malibu, Calabasas and Santa Monica, it is also convenient for accessing the sites of greater LA including Hollywood, Venice Beach, and Downtown LA.
Top nearby attractions include:
- Topanga State Park: Explore miles of trails perfect for hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding with breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean and Los Angeles.
- The Getty Villa: An educational center and museum dedicated to the study of the arts and cultures of ancient Greece, Rome, and Etruria. Free admission, but requires advance tickets.
- Malibu Beaches & Pacific Coast Highway (PCH): Enjoy the iconic stretches of sandy beach, including Zuma Beach and Surfrider Beach, known for their excellent surf, sunbathing, and volleyball spots connected by the scenic PCH.

Getting Around:
As the house is secluded on a mountain top, we highly recommend having a car for your stay to easily enjoy the mountain communities and attractions as public transit in the immediate area is non-existent. Please use caution on the long and curvy drive up the mountain to the home. On-site parking and a level 2 EV charger is included.
Car services: Taxis will come if called. Uber/Lyft service can be sparse and may involve long waits.
Walking/Biking: Hiking trails and endless views are all within walking distance of the property and the roads have also become extremely popular with cyclists.
