House Description

Big Sur House. A Canyon Compound Above the Clouds. Lowest Price Per Sq Ft in Topanga! Perched above Topanga Canyon with sweeping views toward Saddle Peak and Powderhorn Ranch, this remarkable Craftsman compound captures the spirit of Big Sur while offering a rare combination of flexibility, privacy, and income potential. Designed as a collection of distinct living spaces, the compound includes a spacious main residence, a permitted guest house, a loft-style residence, a dedicated wellness room with gym and sauna, and multiple private outdoor decks. With approximately seven bedrooms and six bathrooms across the compound, the property is ideally suited for multigenerational living, creative pursuits, guest accommodations, or rental income opportunities. The main residence is currently configured as two interconnected homes that can function independently or as one expansive five-bedroom residence. Vaulted ceilings, a dramatic stone fireplace, expansive windows, skylights, and multiple view decks create a seamless connection to the surrounding canyon landscape. The upper levels feature a luminous great room, generous pantry, laundry, and spacious bedrooms, including a primary suite with a spa-inspired bath, a bathroom with a steam shower, and a private wraparound deck. Below, a separate living level offers its own entrance, kitchen, fireplace, bedrooms, bath, and private deck. Beyond the main home, the permitted guest house features a fireplace, private entrance, and deck, while a bright loft-style residence above captures canyon views from every angle. The vast majority of the compound's square footage is permitted, providing a rare level of functionality and flexibility for a property of this scale in Topanga. A Tesla solar system supplies green energy, while multiple decks, patios, and garden spaces create inviting spaces for entertaining, relaxation, and connection with nature. Just minutes from Topanga State Park, Malibu's beaches, and the Valley, the property offers convenient access to both wilderness and city amenities while maintaining a true sense of escape. Rarely does a Topanga property combine this level of permitted living space, multiple residences, wellness amenities, and income potential. Whether envisioned as a private family compound, artist's retreat, boutique hospitality opportunity, or investment property, Big Sur House offers an exceptional canyon lifestyle in one of Southern California's most distinctive settings.
