About this property
Some properties reveal themselves all at once. This one unfolds. Tucked beneath a canopy of magnificent mature oaks in Topanga's coveted Post Office Tract, 21658 Encina Road feels like a private park hidden away at the edge of Topanga State Park. Stone pathways meander through the grounds, footbridges cross a seasonal creek, and decks, gardens and quiet places to gather appear among the trees. There is a sense of discovery as you move through the property, each turn revealing another beautiful and unexpected corner. At its heart is a lovingly restored 1930s residence, thoughtfully cared for and updated while preserving the warmth and character that make the home so special. Windows frame the surrounding greenery and bring the beauty of the outdoors into the living spaces. Beyond the main residence, a studio cottage, dome and barn add to the property's distinctive character and possibilities. As evening falls, the grounds take on an entirely different kind of magic. Twinkling lights illuminate the pathways and gardens, creating an intimate, almost dreamlike atmosphere beneath the oaks. Years of love and care are evident throughout this extraordinary property, where nature, history and thoughtful preservation come together in one of Topanga Canyon's most treasured neighborhoods. Exceptionally private and surrounded by natural beauty, this is a rare opportunity to experience a truly special way of life.
