The Ridge House

The Writer's Retreat

The Land

A restored and updated custom cabin featuring a loft bedroom, bonus room/studio, extra-large bath and shower, expansive wraparound deck, cook's kitchen, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow; all thoughtfully designed to make the most of the setting.

A fully restored 1952 Hanson Love Bug teardrop trailer complete with a kitchen, toilet, outdoor shower, large circular deck, and high-speed internet; a one-of-a-kind vintage escape with every modern essential.

Up a long, gated driveway, 17.3 acres of scenic Topanga land unfold with private hiking trails, seasonal waterfalls, improved drainage, automatic irrigation, and EV charging; offering the kind of natural sanctuary that's increasingly rare this close to the city.

Discover a rare and hidden retreat high above the canyon in Topanga

Set on 17.3 acres of natural hillside in Topanga Canyon, this rare and secluded property offers its own private canyon with hiking trails, seasonal waterfalls, and sweeping mountain views; all behind a gated driveway that feels like entering a world of your own. The fully updated 850 sq ft custom cabin features high ceilings, a loft-style bedroom, oversized bath, wraparound deck, and a flexible bonus room ideal as a second bedroom or studio. A fully restored vintage teardrop trailer with its own circular deck, outdoor shower, and kitchen adds a one-of-a-kind touch. Close to the heart of Topanga and within easy reach of Malibu and Los Angeles, this is a truly distinctive sanctuary in the Santa Monica Mountains.

PROPERTY FEATURES

Perched above the canyon sits a beautifully preserved 1952 Hanson Love Bug Trailer, a rare and charming piece of California history. More than just a vintage trailer, it feels like a quiet time capsule, thoughtfully maintained and seamlessly woven into the landscape.


Surrounded by open sky and canyon views, the Love Bug offers a sense of nostalgia paired with simplicity and comfort. Its circular form and classic design create an intimate space that invites slow mornings, quiet evenings, and moments of reflection. Whether used as a guest retreat, creative hideaway, or personal escape, it offers a unique experience that feels both playful and timeless.

The "Love Bug."

Set high above the canyon, The Ridge House property feels quietly removed from the rest of the world. Surrounded by open land and endless sky, it offers a rare sense of space, stillness, and privacy that is increasingly hard to find in Southern California.

Behind a gate and up a long private driveway, the 17.3 acres unfold into a thoughtfully tended landscape of mature oak trees, a native garden with automatic irrigation, and updated drainage, all framing sweeping views over the heart of Topanga Canyon. Tucked throughout the land are quiet sitting nooks that invite you to slow down, take in the scenery, and settle into the kind of natural setting that feels like it belongs to another era.

The Land.

The Studio.

Tucked away at the back of The Ridge House is a spacious, light filled art and music studio that feels like a retreat of its own. Set slightly apart from the main living space, it offers privacy and quiet, making it an ideal place to create, reflect, or simply slow down.


Soft natural light fills the studio throughout the day, while large windows frame sweeping views of the oak forest just beyond. The shade from the surrounding trees keeps the space cool and peaceful, creating an atmosphere that feels grounded and calming. It is easy to imagine mornings spent painting, writing, or playing music with the forest as your backdrop, and afternoons lost in uninterrupted focus.
