Topanga Skyline Studio | Live/Work Loft, 1957. Own a piece of history in this fabled canyon recording venue, where a long list of music legends has performed over the years, including Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Robert Plant, and Sting. According to local lore, the mid-century modern building was originally used as a local feed and general store, finally becoming famous in the early 70s as the home of Sir Douglas Quintet drummer Johnny Perez, and one of the influential recording studios in Los Angeles....Topanga Skyline Studio | Live/Work Loft, 1957. Own a piece of history in this fabled canyon recording venue, where a long list of music legends has performed over the years, including Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Robert Plant, and Sting. According to local lore, the mid-century modern building was originally used as a local feed and general store, finally becoming famous in the early 70s as the home of Sir Douglas Quintet drummer Johnny Perez, and one of the influential recording studios in Los Angeles. Household names like Jackson Browne, Bobby McFerrin, Chicago, The Bangles, Spirit, Living Colour, Savoy Brown, The Chieftains, T Bone Burnett, Alison Krauss, Rickie Lee Jones, Billy Preston, The Band, and Little Feat have allegedly produced and recorded hit songs here. No longer zoned for commercial purposes, the property is now being used as a Single Family Residence, although the vintage recording spaces are still intact. Current zoning allows for limited commercial and production activities by the owner/occupant, including an art studio, architecture office, fine arts gallery, recording studio, and many other uses. The current owners stabilized the building shortly after purchase, clearing out debris and opening the floor plan, waterproofing the retaining wall, and adding a new roof, electrical, plumbing, and septic lines, in addition to kitchen and bath finishes. The result is a textured minimalism, with exposed roof rafters and sand-finished plaster walls, like an art compound in Marfa. In addition, the large street-to-street and mostly flat lot offers a number of development opportunities, with a vintage trailer, an old hunting cabin, the possibility of an ADU, and maybe even subdividing like the property across the street. Roughly 2 miles to the Topanga Town Center and 4 miles to Calabasas, nestled in the Santa Monica Mountains, the property is close to numerous hiking and horseback riding trails, and not far from the Pacific Ocean.
