Off the grid and in style in a polished Topanga retreat

Crowning a 5-plus-acre promontory in Topanga, this contemporary retreat allows for living in quiet seclusion with whole-house solar and water filtration systems as well as a private well.

But off-the-grid living doesn’t come at the expense of style. Open-plan living spaces feature artful mosaic floors, vibrant marble and various nature-forward details. Retracting glass walls bring views of succulent and cacti gardens, mountains and canyon inside.
