    What's special

    Escape to the ultimate trailside sanctuary, nestled along a quiet country lane in Topanga's coveted Glenview neighborhood. This property offers a rare, bohemian lifestyle that completely dissolves the boundaries between home and nature. Steeped in historic charm with roots dating back to 1933, this magical compound is directly adjacent to protected parkland. Step through your back door into Edelman Park and the greater Topanga State Park network connecting seamlessly to over 100 miles of renowned hiking, running, and equestrian trails. The sun-filled three-bedroom, two-bath main cottage radiates rustic canyon warmth with classic wood floors and flexible living spaces. A generous deck extends this space into the surrounding landscape, while the spacious front yard offers endless possibilities to create your dream garden or outdoor retreat. Perfect for artists, writers, or multi-generational living, the property also includes two independent detached accessory structures - creating a unique, highly versatile compound layout for visionaries, investors, or those seeking an inspiring live/work retreat, these bonus spaces provide exceptional flexibility. (Please note that these structures are not included in the legal square footage. Approximate sq ft: 550 sq ft and 400 sq ft). One of the property's most captivating features is an original Topanga hunting lodge complete with a storybook turret room that embodies the canyon's rich artistic heritage. Outdoor living is equally enchanting, with multiple spaces designed for relaxation, including outdoor soaking tubs where you can unwind beneath the stars surrounded by nature. Families will appreciate a variety of educational options, including the highly regarded Topanga Elementary Charter School, celebrated for its nature-based learning environment, as well as nearby Manzanita School, known for its distinctive indoor-outdoor educational philosophy. Despite its peaceful, secluded setting, the property is just minutes from Topanga's beloved cafés and artisan community, with convenient access to both the San Fernando Valley and the Malibu coastline. This property represents the quintessence of old-soul Topanga living. Bring your vision and inherit a true piece of canyon paradise.
