Tucked within the coveted Post Office Tract, 21714 Encina Road unfolds as a private woodland retreat where architecture and nature exist in quiet harmony. Set on nearly one-third of an acre among a grove of mature oaks and anchored by a seasonal stream, the property invites a slower, more intentional rhythm of living. Meandering garden paths connect a thoughtfully updated two-bedroom, two-bath main residence with a detached one-bedroom guest house, each positioned to capture dappled light and verdant views. Recently renovated kitchen and baths bring a refined, timeless sensibility, while expanded living spaces open to a luminous garden - blurring the boundary between indoors and out. Throughout the grounds, intimate moments reveal themselves: filtered light shifting through branches, the hush of the canyon, the gentle chorus of frogs at dusk. Evenings gather softly here, with warm illumination woven through the setting, creating an atmosphere that feels at once grounded and quietly transportive. Fully fenced and deeply private, this is a rare offering - both a sanctuary and a place to host, just moments from the trails of Topanga State Park.
