Topanga Mountaintop Sanctuary
5 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms
Perched high above the coastal canyon on 1.3 acres, this private, recently built property harmoniously blends refined design with the serene beauty of nature. Surrounded by sweeping mountain vistas and the peaceful rhythm of the Topanga landscape, the property offers a rare opportunity to live, create, and rejuvenate in one inspiring setting. Located just minutes from Tuna Canyon State Park, Malibu beaches, Topanga village, numerous hiking trails, and Topanga's top schools.
Prepare to be inspired by the sweeping views and profound stillness of this mountain sanctuary. The landscape shifts with the light - ocean mist rises through the canyon at dawn, and sunsets paint the sky above the clouds. A fresh ocean breeze drifts in most days, while evenings bring a natural symphony of frogs and crickets beneath a starlit sky. Deer and other wildlife are frequent visitors.
Each kitchen is thoughtfully equipped with everything you might need for cooking and dining, from quality cookware to essential pantry items. All bedrooms feature natural-fiber mattresses and organic cotton Parachute linens for a deeply restful night's sleep. Throughout the home, we use natural textiles and non-toxic cleaning products to maintain a healthy, eco-conscious environment.
Whether envisioned as a multi-generational retreat, creative haven, or wellness escape, this Topanga property invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and live in tune with the beauty that surrounds you.
The property features two distinct dwellings on one expansive piece of land, allowing the layout to function beautifully for families, groups, or creative retreats seeking connection with room to breathe.
The Main House (Koyomo House)
3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms
Spanning three levels, the Main House is thoughtfully designed to support both connection and solitude, easily functioning as two distinct living spaces. Its warm, earthy interiors invite rest, reflection, and creativity, while nearly every room opens to an outdoor terrace - perfect for sunrise coffee, sunset dining, or stargazing under the canyon sky.
The lower level offers a fully self-contained guest suite with its own private entrance. This serene retreat includes two bedrooms, one bathroom, a sitting area, kitchenette, washer/dryer, and a peaceful patio that flows onto the lawn- ideal for guests, extended family, or creative residencies.
The second level, accessible by its own entrance, features a chef's kitchen, half bathroom, and a spacious open floor plan that seamlessly connects the living and dining areas. Expansive decks frame sweeping mountain views, while a cozy gas fireplace and smart TV provide comfort and connection.
On the third level, a lofted master suite offers a light-filled sanctuary with a full bathroom and a tranquil creative office space that includes a comfortable cot - perfect for quiet focus, writing, or contemplation.
The Apartment (Skyway Hideaway)
2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms
While entirely self-contained, the Apartment shares the same mountain sanctuary as the Main House, with its own private entrance and distinct energy. Bright, warm, and thoughtfully designed for comfort and creativity, the space is surrounded by open sky and sweeping canyon views. Though part of a larger mountain estate, it feels like a private world all its own.
The lower level features a spacious multi-purpose living area with oversized lounge seating, expansive views across the mountain creek valley, and a projection smart TV for immersive movie nights. This level also includes a full bathroom, washer and dryer, and a soothing steam room ideal for unwinding after a day in nature.
The second level is dedicated to two cozy bedrooms and a full bathroom, along with an open layout that connects the kitchenette, dining area, and intimate sitting space. Every corner of the apartment is crafted to invite calm, inspiration, and connection with the surrounding landscape.
Optional Add-ons

Each structure has its own private entrance, offering the ideal balance of privacy and connection. The layout allows groups or families to come together for shared meals and relaxation while still enjoying quiet nooks and independent living areas when desired.
The property is reached via a scenic mountain road, approximately 5-10 minutes up from Topanga Canyon Boulevard - a classic Topanga drive that adds to the area's natural charm and seclusion.
Two parking spots are available on site. Please note that the home sits on a mountain slope with a steep driveway and several stairways, including uneven railroad-tie steps leading to the lower garden. These areas may not be suitable for guests with mobility limitations, and care is advised when arriving, especially after dark.
