About this property
Set on approximately 5.5 acres across three separate parcels, this special Topanga property offers a rare combination of existing charm and future potential, highlighted by a character-filled 1-bedroom, 1-bath cottage nestled in a peaceful canyon setting. The home features abundant natural light, a relaxed indoor-outdoor flow, a fireplace and inviting patio spaces that open to surrounding greenery and sweeping views of Topanga. A detached structure provides added space for laundry and storage, while the expansive land offers room for horses, chickens, gardens, or additional outdoor amenities. With three lots, the opportunity to build and or expand creates significant upside, making this property ideal for both those seeking a private retreat and developers or builders looking to maximize its full potential. The three lots included are APN 4436-014-015, 4436-014-016 and 4436-013-001.
