Located in the heart of Topanga, just minutes from the beach and only 300 yards from Topanga Village, this one-of-a-kind property offers both a charming primary residence and valuable rental income opportunities. The main 2-bedroom, 2-bath home provides comfortable living with the option to expand or replace it with a larger custom residence of up to 2,000SF, while keeping the additional units as rentals. Zoning allows for a prefab residence which greatly reduces build costs and time. The property currently includes five units: three restored aluminum travel trailers, a stylish tiny home, and a mobile home space currently occupied by a classic Spartan trailer. Each has been updated with modern finishes, creating a turnkey setup for long-term tenants or short-term rental guests.The landscaped grounds feature a central courtyard with a propane fire pit, outdoor lounge, dining area, and fountainall framed by sweeping mountain views. Hiking trails in the Santa Monica Mountains are just a block away, while Topanga State Beach is only a 7-minute drive.This property combines the comforts of a single-family residence with the flexibility of additional units for income or guests. Whether you choose to live in the existing home, expand into a new custom residence, or enjoy the property as it is, you'll benefit from a rare blend of homeownership, rental potential, and Topanga's unique lifestyle.

While the main residence was built in 1952, the listing explicitly states that the five additional units (three travel trailers, a tiny home, and a mobile home space) have all been 'updated with modern finishes, creating a turnkey setup.' The images confirm these units feature contemporary kitchens with modern cabinetry, wood countertops, black fixtures, and updated bathrooms with vessel sinks and clean finishes. The flooring throughout the visible interiors is modern wood-look laminate, and lighting is recessed. The property is presented as move-in ready with significant recent renovations to its income-generating components, aligning with the 'Good' score criteria for extensive renovation within 5-15 years and being move-in ready with minimal wear and tear.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Exceptional Income Potential: The property includes five updated rental units (three restored aluminum travel trailers, a stylish tiny home, and a mobile home space), offering significant and immediate rental income opportunities for long-term or short-term guests.
Prime Topanga Location: Strategically located in the heart of Topanga, just minutes from the beach, 300 yards from Topanga Village, and a block from Santa Monica Mountains hiking trails, providing a desirable lifestyle with convenience and nature access.
Development Flexibility & Expansion: Offers the unique option to expand or replace the existing 2-bedroom main residence with a larger custom home up to 2,000 sq ft, with zoning allowing for cost-effective prefab construction, while retaining the income-generating units.
Turnkey Rental Operations: All additional units have been updated with modern finishes, creating a turnkey setup for new owners to immediately capitalize on rental income without significant upfront investment in renovations.
Desirable Outdoor Living & Views: Features beautifully landscaped grounds with a central courtyard, propane fire pit, outdoor lounge, dining area, and fountain, all framed by sweeping mountain views, enhancing the property's appeal and lifestyle.

Cons

Unconventional Rental Units: The rental units consist primarily of restored travel trailers and a tiny home, which, while updated, may appeal to a niche market and could present unique challenges regarding financing, insurance, or long-term appreciation compared to traditional multi-unit properties.
Age of Main Residence & Potential Renovation: The main residence was built in 1952. While expansion is an option, the existing structure may require significant renovation or replacement for buyers seeking modern amenities or a larger primary home, incurring additional costs and project management.
Management Complexity of Diverse Units: Managing a property with a primary residence and five distinct, non-traditional rental units (trailers, tiny home) could be more demanding in terms of tenant turnover, specialized maintenance, and overall property management compared to conventional rental properties.
