    What's special

    Tucked into Fernwood, one of Topanga's most beloved enclaves, Eagle's Nest is a soulful canyon hideaway where rustic cabin character meets fresh, modern living. Fernwood is know for its inviting microclimate and spectacular scenery, and this special property is all about big views, creative spaces, and the magic of life in the canyon. Recently remodeled, the three bedroom, three bath main home strikes a beautiful balance between contemporary comfort and vintage charm. Expansive views steal the show in the living room, where a dramatic river rock fireplace and wide-plank oak floors create a warm, inviting backdrop for everyday living and laid-back gatherings. The possibilities extend well beyond the main house. A detached, approximately 600 sq. ft. guest house or studio, complete with a generous view deck, offers space for guests, creative work, or a private escape. Add to that a whimsical, approximately 144 sq. ft. "baby" geodesic dome, perfect as an artist's hideaway, play space, or something entirely your own. Outdoor living takes center stage, with multiple terraces and expansive decks made for sunset dinners, weekend entertaining, or simply taking in the extraordinary canyon views. Screened vegetable beds, drought-tolerant landscaping, and majestic mature oaks bring a natural, sustainable sensibility to the property. Convenient street-level parking, plus additional gated parking, adds to the appeal. A rare blend of character, versatility, and natural beauty, Eagle's Nest offers the quintessential Topanga lifestyle with a proven Airbnb income history and room to make it your own.
