In the heart of the Santa Monica Mountains, where the only sound is wind through the trees, lies Paradise Lodge, a fully reimagined 2.1-acre Topanga estate and a study in Rustic Modernism: utilitarian, elegant, and rooted in its rugged surroundings. Completed as all-new construction in 2021 by architect Steven Fernandez, its design carries the lineage of Richard Neutra, Edward Niles, and Frank Gehry. The property is arranged in two distinct areas across its 2.1 usable acres: the three-bedroom main house at the top, and a lower area with separate street access consisting of a one-bedroom ADU, a workshop, and a restored one-bedroom Spartan trailer. A tree-lined private road brings you to a large rolling gate and an extra-wide circular drive that gives a true sense of arrival. At the top of the property, the main house opens to light-filled, open-plan living, floor-to-ceiling Fleetwood glass, and a see-through fireplace of steel, board-form concrete, and Yosemite stone that warms the living room and poolside lounge at once. The chef's kitchen carries Wolf, Sub-Zero, and Bosch appliances and passes through to an outdoor prep station and grill. A ground-floor bedroom with its own outdoor entrance and ensuite works easily as a guest room or office. Upstairs, two ensuite bedrooms sit among the treetops. The primary is a treehouse in all but name, its private Ipe deck set into the canopy of a mature ash, open to a wide view of the hillsides. Outside, a PebbleTec saltwater pool is ringed by fruit trees, with sunset and canyon views beyond, a setting so striking that it has been featured in global campaigns for Mercedes-Benz and Lexus. The gardens were shaped by landscape designer Suzanne McKevitt with an earth-first, drought-tolerant approach. Charming garden paths meander through the intentionally landscaped grounds, planted with fruit-bearing trees including Fuji apples, Sumo mandarins, and Meyer lemons. The pathways create a tranquil connection down to the lower area, set well apart from the main house. There, a 650-square-foot ADU offers a lofted bedroom with ensuite bath, its own outdoor sitting area built from a converted shipping container, and strong income potential as a rental or guest suite. Beside it, a workshop with 25-foot ceilings is well suited to an artist's studio or recording space. Nearby, the restored 1950s Spartan trailer keeps its own private setting and outdoor bathroom, a retreat under the stars. Together they form a self-contained artist's retreat and bring the estate to a functional five bedrooms and six baths. The estate is wildfire-hardened, clad in DensGlass sheathing and corrugated steel, with an exterior sprinkler system, on-site fire hydrants, and a whole-property backup generator. Located in one of Topanga's most accessible neighborhoods, a place where time seems to have stood still in the best way, the estate has miles of pristine trails for hiking and biking through the Santa Monica Mountains from the front door. The Topanga Farmers Market and Will Geer's Theatricum Botanicum sit about half a mile away, the property is in a desirable school district, and Malibu is 20 minutes out, Calabasas 15, and the Westside 30.

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.
