First time on the market in over 30 years, this lovingly remodeled and privately located former hunting lodge has some of the best views in Topanga. Located in Fernwood and situated on 4 lots totaling nearly 2/3 of a secluded acre, this metal-roofed home is thoughtfully landscaped with natives, Mediterranean, and drought-tolerant plantings.

Spacious living room has vaulted ceilings, wood floors, and a gas fireplace with an electric starter. Open kitchen lets you enjoy the views while cooking, and friends can gather at the long bar. There are slate floors, custom cabinetry, a GE monogram refrigerator, and a Thermador range and dishwasher. All rooms have far-reaching views, and the convertible den has a glass ceiling allowing you to look up to the clouds. Main-level bath has a claw-foot tub, where you can relax and soak in the views. Lower level features two bedrooms where you wake up to a colorful sunrise, a unique bathroom with a river-rock-lined shower, laundry area, and open family area. Separate light-filled studio is a great creative space away from the main house, wired for internet, and is the perfect spot for your morning asanas and afternoon workspace.Outdoors, you can wander through the yard unseen by neighbors, on the rock pathways to the many sitting areas, the upper-level Sundance hot tub with mountain views, and a tree house. The well-maintained yard features colorful natives, fruit trees, and stately mature trees. Harvest your own fruit with orange, pomegranate, apricot, and cherry trees, and blackberry bushes. The house comes with tools and equipment to maintain your new property, including a small tractor for getting around the yard.Located on a quiet cut-de-sac, there is a fenced entry, plenty of parking, with a two-car garage, separate gated parking area, and additional parking out front.

Condition Rating
Fair

Built in 1926, this property has been 'lovingly remodeled' but has been on the market for the first time in over 30 years, suggesting the last major renovation occurred 15-30 years ago. While the kitchen boasts high-end appliances (GE Monogram, Thermador) and custom cabinetry, the style of the wood cabinets and blue tile backsplash appears dated. Bathrooms feature unique elements like a claw-foot tub and river-rock shower, but their overall aesthetic and finishes also reflect an older renovation. The property has a mix of wood and slate flooring, but also features blue and grey carpets that may not appeal to all buyers. A significant factor is the explicit lack of a central cooling system. The home is well-maintained and functional, but its interior styles and some systems require minor updates to align with current market expectations, fitting the 'Fair' condition criteria.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =28278, other record lot size in square feet = 10317. Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1600, other record living area = 1160.
Age of Property & Potential Maintenance: Built in 1926, despite remodels, the property's age may imply potential for ongoing maintenance needs or future updates to core systems not explicitly mentioned as renovated.
Lack of Central Cooling System: The property description does not mention a cooling system, which could be a significant drawback for comfort during warmer California months.
Niche Market Appeal: The distinctive 'former hunting lodge' aesthetic and specific design choices, while charming, may appeal to a more particular buyer demographic, potentially limiting broader market interest.
