Craftsman Home & Cottage Between Mountain and Ocean

Born and raised in the south of France, I am a linguist, love all languages and cultures. I practice yoga, dance, and write. I love the homes I have created for myself, enjoy maintaining them and am constantly beautifying them for myself and all who visit.

The house is private on a two-lot property. I live on the second lot beyond the wooden fence surrounding the area offered for vacation occupancy, and am quick to respond if needed.

It is a joy to share the beautiful surrounding I live in and the lifestyle it affords. My last big voyage was an exotic mother-daughter reunion over the course of two months traveling through Nepal, India and Sri Lanka with my youngest daughter coming from Australia. Since I started hosting, I have enjoyed guests from various States and countries. The world coming to me in this way, and being part of Los Angeles where all cultures are represented, I continue to enjoy a deep connection with people in a spirit of world citizenship. Hosting is a creative expression for me spanning the fields of service, hospitality, interpersonal relations, and cultural exchange. I hope you will be receptive to the unique charm and creativity expressed in my hosting.

Once the home of Mickey Rooney, this Topanga gem is wonderfully situated for gentle ocean breezes in a "climate-perfect" area. Enveloped in natural beauty, with its own poetry at any time of day or year, it invites one to retreat in tranquil simplicity and comfort, while remaining within minutes to civilization. It offers both privacy and togetherness for family gatherings or traveling with a babysitter, nanny, grandmother, teenagers, or traveling couples.

This is not an Ikea clad-for-profit-only rental, but a unique, charming, well cared for home and property, where time and space blending, you can navigate at will between nature and civilization, mountain and ocean, social life and seclusion, arts and technology. You will enjoy both modernity and vintage charm, comfort and ruggedness, domestication and wilderness. It is ideal to take a break from the city and the busy-ness of life, where you can be quiet, secluded, and creative, and/or social, active and busy as you wish.
