Own a Topanga Landmark. At the far end of the Historic Bonnell Park, a storied Cape Cod home is set in lush, verdant, meadows, framed by towering oaks, cottonwood, maple, and ash trees. With the park serving as a de facto front yard, the white house with inky black shutters sits on a vast flower-framed lawn, beckoning as if from a dream. Set at the end of the Bonnell Cul de sac, this cherished home harkens to farm country, sitting on over 1 1/3 acre of flat lawns, orchards, and gardens. Strawberry peak and Little Rock, two local icons, serve as a backdrop to this home. The history of Topanga is told here. The home was once part of the original John Bonnell estate which includes "The Old Stone House," considered the oldest house in Topanga, built by Jack Wood, a pioneer stage and Post Office mail driver. It has been owned by just 2 families over the past 70 years, and was reimagined by Topanga's renowned architect, Cary Gepner, into the graceful sanctuary it is today. The brief was to seamlessly meld the indoors and out, so every room took in the beauty of the incredible grounds. He delivered. Rooms flooded with abundant natural light, through 5 sets of French doors, encompass the perfect flow for celebrations, or quiet enjoyment. Visitors to the park often exclaim it is the "Most beautiful home in Topanga!" Now is your chance to own this lyrical property, with its oversized pool and spa, fruit trees, and gardens, all set along the banks of Old Topanga Creek. Over the years, this home has been cast as an East Coast home in movies and tv shows, because it calls nostalgically to us of simpler times. But the interiors are updated with serenely minimal rooms perfect for modern country living. Bare feet pad across polished old oak floors. The front foyer opens to a gracious, soaring, two story living room, with a classic fireplace. A wall of French doors looks out from the living room and spacious dining room to where deer meander, and hawks float on updrafts. The inviting open kitchen, with its vast island, hosts a crowd. Doors flung open to the huge patio, pool and spa, allow for that quintessential California indoor-outdoor life! The spacious primary suite opens to the pool through French doors. Its bright bath, with a steam shower, vintage fixtures, and a clawfoot tub opens to a poolside shower. Two other bedrooms with sun-splashed windows sit on the main level. A captivating suite of rooms under the eaves include an antechamber under automatic, venting skylights, that is perfect for reading or drawing. A small nook nearby entices as a hideaway play room. The bedroom up here is a fantasy space ripped from a classic tale, with windows overlooking the estate. Classical landscaping, with abundant flowers, bowers of roses, and trees laden with fruit surround the home. Birdsong brightens your mornings, and frogs, crickets, and the soft hoot of owls serenade you at night. Protected Bonnell Park, Topanga's Halloween destination, is owned by a neighborhood association, and development of the park is forbidden. Red Rock Park, Summit to Summit, and Backbone hiking trails are nearby. Topanga's cafes, shops, and cultural landmarks are close by. Malibu's fabled beaches are near enough to feel the coastal breezes. Easily get to the 101 or the westside. You can have your rural dreams, and your big city life, too. The magic of this home abides, with shooting stars, darting bats, and the burble of the creek. And now you can weave your life into the sweet tale of this storybook home.

Lounge before the living room's carved marble fireplace, surrounded by doors leading to wrap-around decks. Thick plaster lime washed walls, antique sconces, and arched passages create rooms that feel collected over generations. Prepare pizza in the wood fired pizza oven, in a kitchen graced with deeply veined pink travertine counters and copper sinks, handcrafted cabinetry, an antique carved marble hood, and a wood-burning pizza oven, that evoke the warmth of a French farmhouse. Throughout the home, marble mosaic tile embedded "rugs" from Aleppo and Damascus add artistry and permanence underfoot. Walk through an enfilade of arched doorways to the primary suite, where a travertine-framed window captures cinematic views of the canyon. A fireplace, jetted soaking tub, hand-carved marble sinks, bronze fixtures, and a spacious walk in closet create a luxurious sanctuary.

On the lower level a cozy den leads you to two spacious bedrooms, a large bath with a vintage clawfoot tub, a color drenched hallway lined in closets and built-in shelving, and a laundry room. Outside, gardens scented with citrus blossoms and chaparral unfold in every direction. Espaliered pear trees descended from renowned horticulturist F.C. Reimer share the grounds with blood oranges, limes, olives, pomegranates, grapes, redwoods, giant sycamores, oaks, jacarandas, Japanese maples, truffle trees, roses, and a whimsical chicken villa.

A property of rare soul, this Topanga villa marries the patina of centuries, and the poetry of the canyon. A place where Provence meets California, where global artistry meets the wild chaparrel, and where every detail feels touched by time.

Romance in the Mountains. Perched among ancient oaks in upper Fernwood, just a mile from Topanga's village center, this timeless Arts & Crafts home rises like a handcrafted treehouse, embracing the canyon's rhythm and light. Framed in wood, stone, and glass, it captures cinematic cross-canyon vistas that shift with the day's mood. Morning mist drifts across the ridgelines, sunlight spills under beamed ceilings, and the scent of pine, lavender, and rosemary fills the air. Terraced gardens, alive with fruit trees and flowers, weave through decomposed granite paths that recall the landscapes of southern Europe. A handmade gate and wooden bridge lead to the welcoming front porch, setting the tone for the comfort and artistry within. The living and dining rooms share a glowing Batchelder-tiled fireplace, the heart of the home, where French doors and wide windows erase the line between indoors and out. Venetian plaster walls, custom lighting, and soaring beamed ceilings create warmth and grandeur, while fine woodwork and inlaid hardwood floors showcase the mark of the maker. The gourmet kitchen, fitted with Viking appliances and granite countertops, opens to a view-filled den and one of several decks. A cozy main-level office with its own balcony offers a private escape framed by canyon light. Downstairs, the romantic primary suite feels like a retreat in the treetops, with French doors opening to a secluded deck above the canyon. The luxurious bath, wrapped in windows, invites long soaks beside the garden's quiet hum. Two additional bedrooms, one with a wraparound deck, share a bright bath, while a large media room with built-in screen and surround sound doubles as a screening lounge, studio, or gym. Outside, nature flourishes. Pomegranates, blood oranges, lemons, grapes, and fragrant herbs fill the terraced gardens carved among boulders. The fenced backyard offers privacy for play, gardening, or quiet reflection. A gazebo and hidden nooks invite gatherings or moments of solitude beneath the oaks. A new roof, solar with two Tesla batteries, and thoughtful updates bring sustainability to this handcrafted haven. With a two-car garage, large driveway, generous storage, and deep caissons anchoring the home to the canyon's bedrock, comfort and stability abound. Here in Fernwood's coveted microclimate, cool coastal breezes meet warm canyon sun, a perfect balance of energy and ease.

Trails, beaches, cafes, and galleries are moments away, while the valley, westside, and city remain within easy reach. More than a home, this is a place of quiet grandeur and creative soul, a handcrafted refuge where nature and design live in timeless harmony, and every day feels like a page in a story still unfolding.
