774 Old Topanga Canyon Rd , Topanga, CA 90290(Los Angeles County)

Casa Cielo: A Stunning Retreat & Rare Approved Coastal Development Permit for Second Home in Topanga Canyon. Tucked into the gentle folds of Old Topanga Canyon, where the hills rise softly into the sky and ancient oaks sway in rhythm with the breeze, Casa Cielo is more than a home, it is a canyon dream, rooted in beauty, vision, and possibility. Up a long driveway, spread across nearly three private acres on two separate legal parcels, this modern Mediterranean sanctuary offers both an exquisite residence and an extraordinary development opportunity, moments from Malibu, Calabasas, and the Pacific. Your paradise on a hill, with views all around, custom built in 2002, rests on just under two-thirds of an acre, an elegant expression of warmth and architectural grace. Light pours through French doors and skylights onto pine and ceramic tile floors, while a two-story stone fireplace warms the voluminous great room. A generous chef's kitchen, with unique Picasso Green Granite countertops, walk-in pantry, and stainless appliances, opens seamlessly to an entertainer's patio, where a built-in BBQ awaits long summer evenings under canyon skies. A burbling fountain and birdsong are the music to morning coffee, or to a gathering of loved ones on the flower-framed back patio. Upstairs, two airy bedrooms share a dreamy, French inspired, Jack-and-Jill bath adorned with a clawfoot tub and antique vanities. The primary suite opens to a private balcony with panoramic views, while an open loft with built-in shelving offers the perfect nook for a library, art studio, or meditation space. Downstairs, a spacious convertible den, with its own full bath and balcony, can easily serve as a third bedroom, office, or guest retreat. Panoramic views entice from a spacious upper deck, with covered side porch, and from a lower covered patio set in the garden. Thoughtfully appointed with central HVAC, a gray water recycling system, an automatic interior sprinkler system for enhanced safety and peace of mind, and a laundry chute to a generous laundry room, Casa Cielo blends timeless aesthetics with everyday comfort. The 2 car garage has a workshop area, and has cable hookups, in case one needs a hideaway more than parking for a second car! At the bottom of the driveway, a charming cottage studio, in a private yard, invites creativity, solitude, or guests. But the true rarity lies just beyond: over a small footbridge, the second parcel, encompassing 2.33 sunlit, view acres of pristine canyon land, you'll find a refined and ready canvas for new architecture and legacy building. Unlike raw, speculative land, this property is fully vested and entitled under a Coastal Development Permit for a custom single-family residence. Utilities are already in place, with a temporary power meter and water meter installed, removing costly delays and allowing your vision to unfold without hesitation. Already graded, and with driveway access, this lot is your opportunity to create an incredible compound, with room for anything your heart desires! Gardens, orchards, horse facilities, a hobby farm, and possibly a pool. What makes this offering even more remarkable is the land's architectural pedigree. The plans were drawn by John Geiger, a celebrated architect and former member of the Taliesin Fellowship under Frank Lloyd Wright. His vision, rooted in the principles of organic architecture and attuned to the undulating canyon topography, lives on in the possibility this land holds, a legacy not only of shelter but of soul. Here, in one of Southern California's most protected and poetic enclaves, you're invited to dwell, dream, and design. Whether you embrace the sanctuary of Casa Cielo as it stands, or choose to expand the story with a second architectural jewel, this is a place where vision meets readiness, where artistry meets the earth, and where time slows to the rhythm of the canyon.
