Mid-Century Sanctuary with Guest House, and Studio Apartment. Tucked away in the poetic hills of Topanga, where the scent of sagebrush mingles with coastal air and the canyon light shifts like watercolor, this mid-century retreat rises from the earth like sculpture. Built in the 80s by a Topanga Family of master builders, this home has the soul of a 1960s architectural, with towering walls of glass, but is built with modern building methods and amenities that live more fully in our present. Set across 6 lots totaling more than half an acre of pure California dreaming, this is not merely a home, but a dream made real. Framed in clean, modernist lines and softened by warm woods and welcoming landscaping, the main residence offers three bedrooms and two baths, with interiors that channel the understated elegance of a bygone era. Vaulted ceilings open skyward, while walls of glass dissolve the boundary between indoors and the wild beyond, inviting the Santa Monica Mountains in like an old friend. A sunken living room anchors the space with quiet drama, its hardwood floors catching golden light, while a fireplace hums softly against the cool hush of canyon evenings. The sleekly updated kitchen gleams with high end stainless appliances, huge windows, stone counters, and cabinetry that soars up to the 14 ft ceilings. The primary suite is a private escape, complete with a dreamy, custom, walnut, walk-in closet with a view, private viewing deck, and a spa-like bath where a glass-wrapped shower overlooks the green hills of the nearby state parka tableau, framed in stillness and sky. The living room flows onto a huge deck, set in the wide vistas. Steps lead to paths meandering through native landscaping and terraced gardens that create a sanctuary for the senses. A gorgeous, built in, Charbroil outdoor kitchen nestles under an arbor, perfect for grilling up a celebration! Dine beneath a canopy of oaks, sip wine beneath the stars around the gas fire pit, or soak in the hot tub while hawks wheel overhead. Here, every detail whispers of retreat and ritual. Two thoughtfully appointed guest units, a charming detached cabin at the top of the property, with loft, kitchenette, bath, and deck; and a second large studio apartment, with private entry, kitchen, and bath, offer room for reflection, creation, or connection. Set along a private drive just moments from the vibrancy of the center of Topanga, with its restaurants, galleries, yoga studios, and charming shops, in a quiet neighborhood surrounded by trails, this graceful home is close to Malibu, the Valley, and all that LA has to offer. This is a home for artists, dreamers, and seekers of beauty. A place where architecture meets wilderness in elegant accord, and where every sunrise feels like a new beginning. This is a Topanga Miracle, refined, rare, and waiting for you.

Casa Cielo: A Stunning Retreat & Rare Approved Coastal Development Permit for Second Home in Topanga Canyon. Offer deadline Tuesday 8/26 by 6pm. 774 Old Topanga. Tucked into the gentle folds of Old Topanga Canyon, where the hills rise softly into the sky and ancient oaks sway in rhythm with the breeze, Casa Cielo is more than a home, it is a canyon dream, rooted in beauty, vision, and possibility. Up a long driveway, spread across nearly three private acres on two separate legal parcels, this modern Mediterranean sanctuary offers both an exquisite residence and an extraordinary development opportunity, moments from Malibu, Calabasas, and the Pacific. Your paradise on a hill, with views all around, custom built in 2002, rests on just under two-thirds of an acre, an elegant expression of warmth and architectural grace. Light pours through French doors and skylights onto pine and ceramic tile floors, while a two-story stone fireplace warms the voluminous great room. A generous chef's kitchen, with unique Picasso Green Granite countertops, walk-in pantry, and stainless appliances, opens seamlessly to an entertainer's patio, where a built-in BBQ awaits long summer evenings under canyon skies. A burbling fountain and birdsong are the music to morning coffee, or to a gathering of loved ones on the flower-framed back patio. Upstairs, two airy bedrooms share a dreamy, French inspired, Jack-and-Jill bath adorned with a clawfoot tub and antique vanities. The primary suite opens to a private balcony with panoramic views, while an open loft with built-in shelving offers the perfect nook for a library, art studio, or meditation space. Downstairs, a spacious convertible den, with its own full bath and balcony, can easily serve as a third bedroom, office, or guest retreat. Panoramic views entice from a spacious upper deck, with covered side porch, and from a lower covered patio set in the garden. Thoughtfully appointed with central HVAC, a gray water recycling system, an automatic interior sprinkler system for enhanced safety and peace of mind, and a laundry chute to a generous laundry room, Casa Cielo blends timeless aesthetics with everyday comfort. The 2 car garage has a workshop area, and has cable hookups, in case one needs a hideaway more than parking for a second car! At the bottom of the driveway, a charming cottage studio, in a private yard, invites creativity, solitude, or guests. But the true rarity lies just beyond: over a small footbridge, the second parcel, encompassing 2.33 sunlit, view acres of pristine canyon land, you'll find a refined and ready canvas for new architecture and legacy building. Unlike raw, speculative land, this property is fully vested and entitled under a Coastal Development Permit for a custom single-family residence. Utilities are already in place, with a temporary power meter and water meter installed, removing costly delays and allowing your vision to unfold without hesitation. Already graded, and with driveway access, this lot is your opportunity to create an incredible compound, with room for anything your heart desires! Gardens, orchards, horse facilities, a hobby farm, and possibly a pool. What makes this offering even more remarkable is the land's architectural pedigree. The plans were drawn by John Geiger, a celebrated architect and former member of the Taliesin Fellowship under Frank Lloyd Wright. His vision, rooted in the principles of organic architecture and attuned to the undulating canyon topography, lives on in the possibility this land holds, a legacy not only of shelter but of soul. Here, in one of Southern California's most protected and poetic enclaves, you're invited to dwell, dream, and design. Whether you embrace the sanctuary of Casa Cielo as it stands, or choose to expand the story with a second architectural jewel, this is a place where vision meets readiness, where artistry meets the earth, and where time slows to the rhythm of the canyon.
