Topanga ADU / Art Studio For Rent
This private Topanga guest house offers a peaceful canyon setting beneath mature oak trees, with the feeling of living in a small oak forest. Squeaky clean, quiet, and full of character, this studio is well suited for someone looking for a creative live/work space, writer's retreat, or art studio environment in the heart of Topanga.
The studio features high ceilings, an open floor plan, a full kitchen with many windows, heating, and a full bathroom with a bathtub. The space feels private and tucked away, with an enclosed yard area and a natural setting surrounded by trees, fruit trees, and canyon wildlife. Deer, raccoons, bobcats, hawks, owls, coyotes, and other wildlife are part of the Topanga landscape, and the property is adjacent to a seasonal creek.
Rent is $2,600 per month. Security deposit is $5,200. Water and electric are included. Propane is shared with the landlord. Cats are welcome. No dogs.
The location is one of the best parts of the property. It's about a 10-minute walk to the popular Red Rock and Hondo Canyon hiking trails, a 2-minute drive to the center of Topanga with shops, market, post office, restaurants, and the library, approximately 7 minutes to the beach, 15 minutes to the 101 freeway, and 20 minutes to Santa Monica.
A few things to know: there is no washer or dryer, and the property is located in a very quiet neighborhood. Because it is so quiet, you may hear cars when they pass by on the road.
Owner is looking for a responsible tenant with good credit, strong references, and a good fit for a quiet canyon studio setting.
If you're interested, please send a brief introduction with who you are, what you do, where you live now, and why you're interested in Topanga. Please also include your phone number, since email replies can sometimes end up in spam.
