Back on the market. On a private road, close to Topanga State Park, a garden home gazes out to expansive mountain views from every room. Built in the 20s as a vacation cabin, this home has been expanded and enhanced, with soulful finishes and attractive wood throughout. Windows wrap every side; you will be one with the hawks, butterflies and hummingbirds. Decks and patios beckon. Paths wind through masterful succulent gardens, with surprises at every turn. Fruit trees bow under the weight of their bounty. Sunlight fills the open plan main floor, from dawn til dusk. Wood beamed ceilings and clerestory windows enhance the light streaming through walls of windows.The updated kitchen is open to the living and dining spaces, so you can be with your people. Granite counters with flecks of embedded crystals sparkle. A custom exotic wood desk with built- in cabinets line 3 walls of a private office, perched on a deck and wrapped in windows on the world. Your private aerie. A window seat set in a wall of wood bookshelves, gazes out to a patio, while nearby, the sounds of a waterfall splashing down five descending stunning rock ponds provide a healing soundtrack. A snug den with a toasty gas stove is one of the favored sunset spots. A bright powder room saves you trips downstairs. There are decks designed to enhance being outside in every season and time of day.Downstairs 3 bedrooms bask in the views. Remodeled baths with lovely finishes soothe the soul. Custom closets abound. The piece de resistance is the huge glass sunroom, a place to gather or get away from it all. An electric awning shades it in the summers and in the winter you can let the sun beam in and watch spectacular sunsets!

It has a mini-split, to make sure your comfort is paramount. Finished and unfinished bsements can make tremendous studios, workrooms or perfect storage! A semi-enclosed bonus room is your spot for yoga or Tai Chi. There is abundant parking for six cars! But what will take your breath away is the unique peacefulness of the gardens surrounding your new home. Every part of the property is planted with natives, flowering Mediterranean plants, jade forests, massive agaves and other succulents, fruit trees, jasmine vines, all with Zen paths to discover the secret spots. Soak in the hotub, with a view of the western sky. A garden shed sits along one such path as the fountains splash. The breeze whispers through the trees. You are close to all Topanga has to offer, shops and cafes, the beach and nearby secret trails into Topanga State Park. Music floats on the air. Horses and Peacocks are neighbors. You are nurtured here. This home is pure bliss.
