Oceanview Equestrian Estate. Between Malibu and Topanga, high atop Topanga Canyon, where the mountains meet the sea and light dances across the ridgelines, a home rises like a dream suspended above the Pacific. Here, 5,200-square-foot of luxurious living, recently reimagined with rugged elegance and a soulful, earthy vibe, beckons you to a new life. Set behind private gates on approximately 2.5 acres, the home sits above the dramatic pool, commanding sweeping ocean, city lights, and island views that stretch from Palos Verdes to Point Dume. Drive up the winding drive along hand-laid sandstone walls bordered by olive trees leading to the home's luminous two-story entry. The ocean is everywhere present. The wide 2 story foyer, filled with sunlight from high windows and French doors, leads to rooms of generous proportions and artful symmetry. Vaulted ceilings and arched passageways link sunlit spaces. A gracious salon anchored by a fireplace dwells in the views through massive arched windows; wide oak floors whisper underfoot, and doors open to a balcony with views in all directions. Feast in the formal dining room. Pass through a bright den, to an open, modern rustic kitchen, centered around a marble island. The gourmet kitchen and enormous stove invite culinary creativity, while loved ones linger in the cozy breakfast area. The walk-in pantry, refrigerator drawers, builtins, and huge refrigerator make hosting a crowd a breeze. Beyond the kitchen, a cozy bedroom suite can be a guest hideaway, or a maid's room. Most rooms open to balconies and patios with views of the endless horizon. Step down an extravagantly grand stairway and through hand carved double doors to a sublime primary suite set in a private wing. Here lives your sanctuary of calm with walls of tall glass doors opening to private gardens, and neverending vistas. Sink into the soaking tub perfectly positioned to watch the sun melt into the ocean. The shower is tiled in pale handmade Zellige tiles. Downstairs, a theater room spans the width of the house, with a wall of glass leading to a covered loggia, set with a roaring fire. An office sits nearby. 3 more roomy bedrooms, each with glass doors to the gardens, provide comfort and versatility. Beyond the home's walls, the grounds unfold like a private park, a lush tapestry of citrus, pomegranate, and bougainvillea, with lawns and paths that roll toward a shimmering pool and spa. Two outdoor living rooms, one covered, one open, each with a fireplace, invite gatherings under starlit skies. Walk down to four horse stalls, each with separate turnouts. A 3 car garage and large parking court provide room for a fleet of cars, surfboards, and bikes. A private well nourishes the orchards and gardens; a generator ensures quiet self-sufficiency; two gated driveways provide separation for the home or equestrian pursuits. Parks with miles of trails that stretch to the horizon are close by. Breezes filled with the scents of chaparral and the sea ruffle the palms, and bring a serenity that feels worlds away. Yet here you are, just minutes from the hearts of Topanga, Malibu, or Calabasas. The life of Topanga, with open air theaters, farm to table cafes, yoga studios, surfing, charm filled cafes, and a deep sense of community is yours for the taking. Here, in this peaceful home, the line between home and horizon disappears. Here sits your secluded sanctuary of Light, Sea, and Harmony, where the rhythm of the sea meets the stillness of the mountains.
