Nestled on a lush acre of Old Canyon's most picturesque hilltop, this unique Santa Fe-style compound was built by a renown Topanga local builder for his beautiful wife, a Silver Screen icon who fell in love with the intricate, artful homes of New Mexico. After numerous trips and extensive historic research on pueblo dwellings, they set out to create a home that seamlessly blends traditional Santa Fe style with the best of Topanga Canyon living. Taking full advantage of the breathtaking cross-canyon views, the home is a true expression of artistry, with every detail carefully executed to reflect old-world craftsmanship with no expense spared. From handcrafted, curved plaster walls to wooden vigas adorning the grand living and dining room ceilings, the home exudes warmth and authenticity. Boasting five stunning fireplaces, the main residence includes four generously sized bedrooms, four beautifully curated bathrooms, and a show-stopping kitchen recently redesigned by the current owners, which offers seamless indoor-outdoor flow, connecting the home to a lush poolside patio and yard. The home's library, painted a rich, deep red, is an artful retreat with book-lined shelves and a cozy fireplace, perfect for quiet afternoons. French doors lead to a passion fruit-covered patio and a bird sanctuary garden. Upstairs, withdrawing to the primary suite is a true escape, featuring its own fireplace, a spa-like bathroom with a Swedish sauna, a private office, and a balcony overlooking the verdant hills beyond. The property is designed for both relaxation and entertaining, with a pool and spa, multiple outdoor patios, a pergola for alfresco dining, and a sprawling vegetable garden for a true farm-to-table experience. Completing the compound is a charming 1-bedroom, 1-bath guesthouse, a garage converted into a professional recording studio (U2, REM, Taylor Swift, The Killers, Weezer, Harry Styles, Silversun Pickups, all recorded here), a Mongolian yurt, and several storage buildings. This property offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own an artful and harmonious compound in one of the most coveted corners of Topanga Canyon with pride of ownership evident in every touch.
