California Dreamin’ in the Canyon.
An exceedingly rare & hidden gemnestled in the heart of Topanga.
The Ridge House
Set on over 17 acres of coastal canyon land, this private “mini-canyon” in heart of Topanga features sweeping views, a private hiking trail with a seasonal waterfall. Built in 1978 by hand by the original owner/architect, the Ridge House has been completely restored and upgraded with a cook’s kitchen, a bedroom loft, natural pellet heating, and an artist / recording studio.
The Writer’s Retreat
In case you have guests, visiting family, or want to host your own artist-in-residence program, just hand ‘em the keys to the “Love Bug” – a beautifully restored, all-original midcentury teardrop trailer.
Close enough to holler when it’s dinnertime, yet self-contained with it’s own kitchen, toilet, shower, shade structure, and expansive deck, it allows everyone to enjoy privacy and uninterrupted creative flow.
