roviding exceptional coastal and mountain
views in a peaceful atmosphere, Topanga has
attracted creative people and celebrities since
the 1920's, including Dennis Hopper, Robin Williams,
Linda Ronstadt, Neil Diamond and Jim Morrison.
Designed by renowned architects Ladd & Kelsey, this
13-acre property can be discovered beyond a steel
gated entry that leads to oversized glass doors and a
gallery that opens to the courtyard. With an L-shaped
plan, the 4,684-square-foot home (excluding the
gallery) comprises spaces that constantly connect to
the outside thanks to floor-to-ceiling sliding doors.
"Ladd & Kesley masterfully oriented the house
in a way that beautifully relates the interiors with
the landscape and vistas, creating a feeling of awe
and calm at the same time," says listing agent
Christina Hildebrand.

multifunctional building located across from the
house includes a workshop, two bathrooms and
