Description
This magical, 43-acre historical property nestled in the hills of Topanga is a truly a unicorn property with multiple unique structures, each with its own charm, character and history. From the original ~2,000 square foot 1930s adobe, built from mud on the site, to the screened-in meadow house, to the dome home (AKA The Cadillac House), each tells a story of its own. The property also includes a contemporary one bedroom, two bath caretaker's house, designed by noted Venice architectural designer Charles Ward; a mid-century, Cliff May vibe guest house; the weaving room/art studio and the gazebo on the hill, which all add to the eclectic and whimsical feel of the property. The outdoor amenities are just as impressive, with a pool, suspension bridge, waterfalls, a cave, and miles of hiking trails that wind through the property, passing through different microclimates as you discover relics of the past, such as the clay pigeon fragments and old targets from the Hutton Rifle Ranch days. Hike the trails to the The High Point, where the terrain takes on a more arid microclimate, and enjoy 360 degree views of the surrounding hills of Topanga and the ocean views to Palos Verdes, with a significant native wildflower bloom in spring. The property is conveniently located a short drive up PCH between Pacific Palisades and Malibu and close to the middle of the town of Topanga, making it easy to enjoy the local shops, restaurants, and community events. Continue down the other side of the hill to the West Valley, where your shopping, service and entertainment needs will be met in Calabasas, Woodland Hills and Canoga Park. With county water available (no well needed), this property offers the perfect blend of modern convenience and natural beauty. This one-of-a-kind property is a rare opportunity to own a piece of history in the heart of Topanga. Two APNs, 4438-018-024 (36.3 acres) and 4438-018-025 (7.2 acres)
