About 22013 Upper Alta Drive
Meadow Vistas Aerie. Hidden among ancient oaks and wrapped in a tapestry of native chaparral, fruit trees, and lush gardens, this stylish Topanga retreat on 2 lots of over an acre, feels like a private sanctuary suspended within the landscape. Perched above the canyon with sweeping views that stretch across rolling hillsides, the property offers a rare sense of seclusion, where mornings begin with birdsong drifting through open doors and evenings unfold beneath star-filled skies. Inside, a light-filled open floor plan invites effortless living and gathering. Wide-plank reclaimed wood floors lend warmth and character, while walls of glass dissolve the boundary between indoors and out. The spacious kitchen allows for feasts to be created, and a walk in pantry lets you store all of the necessities. Nearly every room opens onto over 1,500 square feet of beautifully crafted ipe wood decking, creating a seamless connection to the surrounding wilderness. Whether hosting friends for sunset dinners, practicing yoga beneath the trees, soaking in the huge hottub, or simply savoring a quiet cup of coffee as the canyon awakens, every moment is framed by nature's beauty. The upper level is devoted to rest and retreat, where the primary suite and second bedroom occupy the entire floor. The wraparound windows in the create the enchanting feeling of a luxury treehouse nestled among the treetops. Private balconies extend from each room, floating above a canopy of oak branches, offering intimate vantage points to watch the changing light move across the canyon. An elegantly updated bath enwrapped in limestone tiles, with a skylight above, has a spa-like vibe. Beyond the main residence, a charming detached studio echoes the timeless Dutch Colonial architecture of the home, and offers endless possibilities as a creative workspace, guest retreat, wellness studio, or private office, with a loft above. The expansive grounds provide room to roam, garden, entertain, or simply enjoy the freedom and privacy that are increasingly rare. A large flat yard can be the garden you've dreamed of, or a great play area. The area around the house is fenced. Several fruit trees allow you to pick your own breakfast. A lower studio apartment with its own entry, kitchen, laundry, and bath, can be rented as well. Though immersed in nature, the property remains remarkably connected, just minutes from Topanga's beloved cafes, 10 minutes from the valley's shops, and 15 minutes from the beaches of Malibu. Hiking and biking trails can be accessed directly from this quiet neighborhood. Here landscape and lifestyle exist in perfect harmony. The Topanga Dream is alive and well.
