225 Powderhorn Ranch, Topanga, CA 90290

Description

Perched above the canyon with unobstructed expansive views and complete privacy, Egg House is a raw, unapologetic statement of craftsmanship and design, fusing modern amenities and natural beauty. Built by Rascal Makers, this handmade Topanga retreat rejects convention, fusing brutalist durability with organic materials to create something entirely unique; part shelter, part sculpture, fully alive. Inside the open floor plan, every surface tells a story. Hand-troweled plaster walls catch shifting light, while the first floor's micro-cement flooring adds an industrial edge. The kitchen is an anchor; bandsawn walnut cabinets with deep, tactile grain, paired with raw leathered quartzite and Ceppo marble countertops. It's a space built for both function and impact. A custom steel and walnut staircase ascends to the second floor drawing attention to a floating cork light sculpture, framed by majestic canyon views. Upstairs, wide-plank antique brown oak floors bring warmth and contrast. Rooms are complemented by handmade walnut window and door sills, custom-built bookshelves, integrated sofas, millwork & closets. Each of the 4.5 bathrooms feature organic stonework and basins that stand alone as functional art pieces. The partial subterranean lower level includes a 2-car garage, laundry, full bath and a large interpretive space. Outside, the land is as intentional as the home itself. The hardscape and newly designed landscape are fitted with an integrated irrigation and lighting system, blending native California and Australian specimens into the rugged terrain. A private orchard, filled with mature fruit and olive trees, stretches toward the horizon. Completely self-sufficient in water, Egg House runs on two deep wells (150 feet and 350 feet). Above it all, a newly installed 30-year fire-resistant roof stands guard.
