Description
Skyline Sustainable 1970s Wood and Glass Architectural View Home. A long driveway leads over a seasonal creek, through dramatic gardens and pomegranate and olive groves, to this private tree top aerie, with stunning 180 views of Topanga's Big Rock. The scents of pine and eucalyptus waft across the nearly 2 acres, and through the windows and doors, as architect Bill Adams intended the natural cooling effect strategically designed for passive cooling. Walls of windows capture spectacular views nature is on full display, here. Stroll past succulent and native gardens, aflutter with butterflies and humming birds, to enter the soaring, double height great room. A wood stove from Spain keeps things cozy. Wood floors were salvaged from a bowling alley, and will support all the dance parties your heart desires. Doors open to the massive wraparound decks, perfect for morning Asana's, or for taking in the amazing sunsets! A hot tub is perfectly set to take in the sunset views. Inside, the open plan means you can be a part of the conversation from the living and dining rooms, to the open chef's kitchen. Here, walls of sleek wood cabinets, granite counters, a Viking range and high end stainless appliances, give the creative cook all the space they need to create delicious feasts. A breakfast bar lets everyone be together. French doors lead out to the back deck. A bedroom and bath sit on this level, as well as laundry, and loads of storage. Up the staircase, the architect's hand really shows. Topped by clerestory windows, tall view windows, high wood ceilings, and strategically placed openings, this space serves as an air and light well, and a place for art and contemplation. Two more bedrooms, with high wood ceilings, walls of closets, and oversized windows, sit to either side of the stairs. A striking bath sits nearby.Wander the paths through the gardens, in total privacy. The property slopes up to the brow of the hill above. Plant more orchards and gardens, or simply watch the deer pass by. Down the driveway a large studio sits in the garden, soaking in the views. It is a dream studio, and could be a dreamy guest house! Under the house, a basement serves as storage and workshop. There is parking for a crowd. A sprinkler system and a gray water system keep things green. The 17 Olive trees and 8 pomegranate trees produce an abundant harvest. The center of Topanga, with cafes and boutiques, music and theater venues, and a fantastic farmers market is close by. Hiking trails and the Topanga Skyline Loop are easily accessed. Calabasas with its cool restaurants and shops, is just down the road. The beaches of Malibu are close enough to send cooling breezes. Here on the top of a hill, is your own private world just waiting for you.
