This magical mountain compound exemplifies the charm, creative spirit and natural beauty for which Topanga Canyon is known and loved. Since its original construction in the early '70s with massive timbers reclaimed from the Pier, this home has been owned and visited by award-winning actors, artists and musicians. A step inside is a walk back in time: next to the massive Jack Rice stone fireplace, a two-story wall of glass frames pristine views of the Santa Monica mountains, evoking the wildness of a Big Sur retreat. Exceptionally private and made for indoor/outdoor living, paths connect mature oaks and eucalyptus with multiple decks, outdoor dining areas and a separate guest house backed by a lovely seasonal creek. The recent, year-plus renovation included extensive systems and structural upgrades, meticulous timber restoration and a stunning interior redesign by a former set designer and architectural preservation specialist. Situated on one of the best cul-de-sac streets in climate-perfect Fernwood, this exceptional hideaway has a new natural plunge pool, outdoor shower, built-in Finnish sauna and spa--all on two spacious, newly landscaped parcels of land. Completed by four coveted off-street parking spots and a garage.
