764 Old Topanga Canyon Rd Rental

Enchanted Oak Crest! Mimi and Henry Smith's legendary artist home on nearly 2 lush acres has been given new life by the new owners, and now the charm filled main house is ready to welcome new dreamers to take up the life of this mountainside homestead, surrounded by epic views to the west of the 7 Sisters" mountain peaks, including Strawberry Peak, which are protected parkland. The property backs up to parkland, as well, ensuring privacy. Henry and Mimi bought the property in 1960 from the original Homesteaders. They became stewards of this living work of art, building up and out as their needs changed over the years. Artists, musicians, actors, and writers dwelt, and played, on the Oak graced land. Units have been continuously rented since the 1960s, often by famous artists and musicians, all inspired by the pristine land. Up a romantic stone staircase the 2 bed, 1 bath 1934 main house perches with panoramic views of the cluster of peaks across the canyon. Sunlight floods the pine floors, beamed ceilings, and old cedar walls. A woodstove cozies up the rooms. Doors flung open welcome the soft breezes. The kitchen and bath have been updated and new minisplits bring a new level of comfort. Decks take in the views and the sounds of the nearby creek. Stone walls grace old stone patios. Fruit trees give their bounty, herbs and flowers scent the air. Plant tomatoes, and veggies. Or visit Topanga's lovely farmers market. This epic home rests close to the village, the coast, the valley. Here on the mountain, the sounds of music, laughter and birdsong await your passion for the true Topanga Life." MLS# 25582869
