1836 ARTEIQUE Road

Chateau D'Arteique, a gated mountaintop splendor in the hills. Your French accented home breathes in the 11,525 acres of the lush Topanga State Park outside the back door. Groves of Olive trees flicker their silver leaves, framing the endless views in every direction. The sounds of nature reign here, the coastal… breeze, the hawk's call, the neigh of a horse. The house is as vast as the views, sheltering all you need, fully reimagined by a soulful designer. Nearly 2 acres of usable space surround your home. Two story walls of glass in the living and family rooms flood the space with sunlight. At night, snuggle by 3 crackling fireplaces, that one can no longer build in California. The elegant kitchen, awash in bright quartz counters and chef appointed appliances, with charming pantry, welcomes a crowd or just breakfast with your dear ones. Sprawl in the family room, with towering walls of glass placing you in the midst of the great outdoors. You will find it impossible to leave your primary suite on the main floor. The blissful bath, with green onyx counters, a French soaking tub from the Paris Ritz Carlton, skylit natural stone shower, and sunroom spa, pampers. Write a poem in the adjoining office. The designer closet makes mornings easy. Upstairs 4 bedrooms bask in the dreamy views. A lofty room overlooks the family room, a place for pool, art, music, living. Perched at the top is the piece de resistance, the bravura moment! A space with walls of windows looking out at the sweet canyon hills on 3 sides. This is your creative space. What will you make of it? An artiste's atelier? A new main suite? A meditative retreat? Outside. Outside is what we all want in Topanga. Here a shaded patio with rattan swings, lounges, a long table, and barbecue nestle beside a sparkling pool. Wide lawns own the views. Stroll down the drive to a 3 car garage, perfect to work from, or recreate as a guest space. A lofty barn and corral hosts happy horses, goats, barn dances, or parties, depending on your desires. Raised beds grow the fresh foods you'd cook in your dazzling kitchen. The house has myriad fire safe features, and serves as a first responder lookout during emergencies. Walk, run, bike, gallop, into the park trails. Plant more gardens and fruit trees. This is the life. The one you've dreamed of. Tucked away in Topanga Canyon, but minutes to restaurants, the coast, the world. Read More
