Topanga Sun

Featured in the New York Times, this architectural gem blows us away with its canyon setting. Surrounded by unspoiled woodland, the terrace is the spot for sunset-watching and playing ping pong. If you like mid-century style, you'll adore the minimalist interiors, high ceilings, and giant windows framing the views. Your host can also arrange private yoga sessions in the downstairs studio for an extra fee. While this home is an unparalleled hideaway for yogis and nature lovers, you can get around easily via the Pacific Coast Highway and the 101 Valley Route. Imagine hitting the hiking trails or surfing at Topanga Beach.
