Property Description

Behind private gates in the heart of Topanga, Oak Haven unfolds across nearly three acres beneath a canopy of centuries-old oaks. Cross the bridge over a meandering creek and the world goes quiet. Blossoms scent the air, the grounds open like a private botanical garden, and a storybook Mediterranean Country estate comes into view.Recently reimagined, the home pairs Old World soul with modern ease, and its character lives in the details. Eighteenth-century engraved stone tablets, hand-carved stone sinks, and weathered wooden pillars appear throughout, and a massive sunken stone tub opens directly onto a Zen garden.Ivy-clad arches and French doors lead into light-filled interiors with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and generous skylights. Polished concrete and white oak floors keep the palette warm and quietly contemporary. The main residence offers three bedrooms, including a newly added one, and three and one-half baths. At its center, a chef's kitchen with premier stainless steel appliances flows straight out to a pergola-covered dining terrace made for long dinners under the stars.From the living room, French doors open to a grand patio overlooking manicured lawns, a pool and spa, and a private sauna. The setting works as well for a house full of guests as it does for a slow Sunday alone.Set apart on the grounds, a guest house dating to 1908 has been carefully restored, its original character intact and its comforts fully modern. Use it for visiting friends, a studio, or a creative retreat of your own.And then there is Topanga itself. The Inn of the Seventh Ray, Canyon Gourmet, Endless Color, and Ethereal Yoga are all minutes away. Privacy, craftsmanship, and nature rarely meet this completely. At Oak Haven, they do.
