California Dreamin’ in the Canyon.

An exceedingly rare & hidden gemnestled in the heart of Topanga.

Deep dive

The Ridge House

Set on over 17 acres of coastal canyon land, this private “mini-canyon” in heart of Topanga features sweeping views, a private hiking trail with a seasonal waterfall. Built in 1978 by hand by the original owner/architect, the Ridge House has been completely restored and upgraded with a cook’s kitchen, a bedroom loft, natural pellet heating, and an artist / recording studio.

The Writer’s Retreat

In case you have guests, visiting family, or want to host your own artist-in-residence program, just hand ‘em the keys to the “Love Bug” – a beautifully restored, all-original midcentury teardrop trailer.

Close enough to holler when it’s dinnertime, yet self-contained with it’s own kitchen, toilet, shower, shade structure, and expansive deck, it allows everyone to enjoy privacy and uninterrupted creative flow.

“This place is magic! It’s just what I needed. The opening of my new book now takes place – not surprisingly – in a trailer in Topanga – Ideally the Love Bug will make it into a published novel. : D” - 2025 writer in residence

The Canyon

The land is the true star.

Nestled in a quiet canyon with large parcels tucked off the main boulevards, it feels so secluded it’s hard to imagine that a bustling metropolis is just a short drive away. You can feel the creative spirit that has fed artists & musicians here for decades.

  • Seasonal waterfall on the property in winter!
  • All new drainage system to support heavy rains
  • Newly paved driveway & turnaround

“Don’t change Topanga...

...Let Topanga change you.”

The Town

The heart of Topanga is just a short walk away, where you’ll find the General Store, Library, an outdoor theater, and copious cafes, restaurants, shops, farmers markets and community gathering spaces.
