Perched on a mountain, on aptly named Observation Drive, indoor/outdoor lines blur in this architectural wonder that captures unparalleled views of the Santa Monica Mountains from every.single.angle. Lovingly maintained inside and out w/ four parcels totaling almost an acre and a half of pure magic. A playground of trails, monumental ancient boulders,...An experience. Situated somewhere between the clouds and the grandmother oaks, a private, quintessential Topanga hacienda w/ a pulse + personality. Perched on a mountain, on aptly named Observation Drive, indoor/outdoor lines blur in this architectural wonder that captures unparalleled views of the Santa Monica Mountains from every.single.angle. Lovingly maintained inside and out w/ four parcels totaling almost an acre and a half of pure magic. A playground of trails, monumental ancient boulders, mature manzanita trees, oaks, and a collection of native species curated by Campion Walker landscaping all enjoyed from a sea of windows. Like in the exquisite kitchen, w/ top of the line appliances, finishes, and wood fireplace lounging. Or in the large first floor primary suite, where you'll wake up to the fog rolling in like a slow white river around the mountains. Or soak up an evening bath watching the sun set over the canyon. Or enjoy a cocktail w/ the birds on your large balcony. Everyone wins, w/ 2 additional large bedrooms w/ their own en suites and private entrances. Plus a magnificent home theater w/ state of the art equipment, and space for two separate work spaces including a unique lofted office/ meditation cupola. Courtyard dining. Grassy meadows. Lookout points. An abundance of venues to reflect and seek a deeply gratifying connection with nature. Close to trails for hiking, biking or horseback riding should you venture. A wildly special property to shepherd. Count yourself in her lineage. Come over. Come see.
