Lovely Home & Animal Sanctuary with Retreat Space and Scenic Mountain Views

Our beautiful craftsman home has 4000 square feet of open space, high white oak ceilings, and charming outdoor decks and patios waiting for you to add your own personal touches, although it needs hardly any decor at all. The house has beautiful hardwood floors and unique decor and is filled with all kinds of animal photography and art. The house is fitted with antique and vintage style furniture and comfy couches. All the rustic charm of a classic Malibu Farmhouse with the added touch of a highly creative surrounding atmosphere. All of the ingredients are here to discover, stimulate and inspire the creative spirit that resides in all of us. We have been told by friends, visiting artists and other creatively minded people that spending time on our property seems to open a space in their personal life that invites inspiration. The 3 acre property is filled with charm and if you are lucky you can feed the wild peacocks who inhabit the area This craftsman home is centrally located in the quaint and charming Cornell area in the Santa Monica mountains. It is ten minutes from the 101 freeway and Kanan Road, and 15 minutes from Malibu. The area is a mixed small affluent small town surrounded by significant hiking trails, the famous Paramount Motion Picture Ranch, and Cornell wine tasting room and the famous Old Place Restaurant. The chefs kitchen and living area have a built in bar and are a wonderful open space for entertaining. There is a grand entry way, huge living room with hardwood floors and antique rugs. A wood burning fireplace accents the room. I am a chef/restaurateur, cookbook author, and caterer. If you wish to have us cater your event please ask us for menus and pricing.
