The Californian Cactus

Get set to escape reality and embrace all things Los Angeles as you retreat to this modern villa with a defined style. This home is within a short driving distance of the trails of Topanga and the famous Universal City – an idyllic spot that's perfect for exploring the vibrant and dynamic city of Los Angeles.

Taking its influences from the visual art style, Vaporwave, 80s colour schemes are combined with luxurious contemporary designs to create a modern sanctuary. Feast your eyes upon the rich velvet sofas for sumptuous relaxation and neon light fittings for graphic mood lighting. The sleek marbled kitchen is a delight for those who are culinarily inclined, whilst the wet bar is a playful spot to shake up some cocktails.

The outside is a real focal point here – while away the afternoon stretched out poolside, taking dips into your pristine pool to cool off. Come evening, fix your group a pitcher of margarita and enjoy it on the rooftop terrace, or sink into the hot tub for bubbly indulgence.

Located so idyllically, you’ll have a myriad of cultural options to invest in, as well as a luscious base from which to explore them all. Spend the day gallery hopping – from LACMA to The Broad, to Hauser & Wirth. If you’re seeking nature – Topanga offers an oasis for hiking lovers with plenty of trails to explore, just a twenty-minute drive from your home.
