Why we have a crush on this property

Nestled in a pocket of the Santa Monica Mountains, this 1940s cabin for sale is perfectly positioned to be an outdoorsy getaway for a couple of nature enthusiasts. The tiny 432-square-foot abode sits among a grove of oak trees, boasts access to stunning hiking trails in the state park across the street, and is only a 15-minute drive to the beaches of Malibu.

Inside, the place gets loads of sunlight from an abundance of windows and skylights, while soaring ceilings lend a sense of spaciousness. The main living area is warmed by a wood stove and lit by a chandelier, and in the bedroom, exposed beams add rustic charm.

The entire cabin has been completely renovated, too, offering a new electric system, new floors, new plumbing, and new fixtures. The home’s sole bathroom, meanwhile, features new ceramic shower tiles.

The less than half-acre property makes plenty of room for outdoor hangouts with a front and back patio. There’s also a set of stairs that leads to an ADU, or additional dwelling unit, toward the back of the sloping lot. It could be used as a home office, art studio, gym, and more.

This property is listed for a cool $899,000 by Olga Crawford with Sotheby’s International Realty – Topanga Brokerage.
