From the agent: "Three separate lots and three separate homes. The magnificent mother oak flourishes growing up and through the main house spreading her arms in a canopy of shade and love. With skylights, floor-to-ceiling glass windows, and wooden elements throughout this three-bedroom two-bath home also has one of the rarest fireplaces in all of Topanga, a cooking fireplace. This landmark historical home includes a separate large one-bedroom one-bath guest home with an oversized carport, plenty of flat land, and its own lot—and there is also a sweet studio with a separate driveway and flat yard. All of this nestled on 3.5 acres of living land, hike up to the top of the property to lounge under the stars and enjoy the stunning views, sit out on the brick patio under mother oak’s forest of offspring, or create a wonderful garden in the sunny, flat yard. Just minutes to the center of town, the beach, SFV, and Santa Monica. Gated and private."
A short hike to the top of the property offers scenic views of the surrounding hills and mountains.

In order to ensure a healthy life for the oak trees, the house has been built around the trees as not to impose, but to compliment. The realtor says, "Sloan’s Oak estate was created in the Frank Lloyd Wright tradition of designing in harmony with humanity and the environment."

Two of the three units share a main entrance, and all three units make use of communal outdoor spaces woven between the house and the charismatic oak trees.
