Hollywood Producer Andrew Guest Lists Magical Topanga Compound for $2.4 Million

A tree-lined retreat nestled beneath a canopy of magnificent mature oaks, featuring illuminated pathways and enchanting natural surroundings, has officially hit the real estate market in Topanga, California, carrying an asking price of $2.4 million.

Originally built in 1935, the thoughtfully cared for 1,547-square-foot sanctuary boasts a rich history alongside modern creative updates. The property is characterized by its charming stone pathways, delicate footbridges, and a tranquil seasonal creek that runs through the grounds. Located within the desirable Post Office Tract right near Topanga State Park, the compound offers an unusual combination of rugged wilderness immersion and convenient proximity to the greater Los Angeles metropolitan area.

According to public records, the sprawling four-bedroom compound is currently owned by Hollywood writer and producer Andrew Guest. Known for his work as the co-creator, showrunner, and executive producer of Marvel’s upcoming "Wonder Man" series, Guest originally purchased the picturesque Southern California property for $2.75 million in 2022.

Nina Kurtz of Compass, the listing agent handling the property, emphasizes the rare nature of the setting. What makes this property so special is its setting within a private oak grove, Kurtz explains, noting that it genuinely feels like having your own private park. That private-park feel extends seamlessly across the entire nearly 1-acre compound, which encompasses a two-bedroom primary residence alongside multiple distinct structures offering additional living and creative spaces.

Expansive windows throughout the compound were intentionally designed to frame the lushly landscaped lot, effortlessly drawing the outdoors into the everyday living spaces. Properties like this rarely come along, Kurtz notes, pointing out that the opportunity to secure an entire compound nestled beneath these majestic oaks, yet remaining so close to Los Angeles, strikes a rare balance of wilderness and accessibility that feels genuinely magical.

The light-filled interior of the two-bedroom primary residence showcases classic architectural details, boasting exposed beams, soaring vaulted ceilings, warm hardwood floors, traditional casement windows, and classic French doors that open directly to the fresh canyon air. The sun-soaked kitchen is similarly integrated into the natural environment, featuring direct access to the outdoor living area where residents can easily transition from indoor cooking to relaxing beneath the trees. The primary bedroom itself is completely surrounded by lush, tree-lined scenery, ensuring a peaceful awakening every morning.

Beyond the main house, the nearly 1-acre private property features a charming one-bedroom cottage, a traditional rustic barn, and an eye-catching 1970s geodesic dome. This unique dome structure was recently transformed into a contemporary art gallery in 2024, providing a versatile space equipped with geometric-style windows, an additional kitchen, and expansive open square footage that could easily serve as additional guest accommodations or a creative studio. An enormous wraparound deck was specifically engineered for soaking in the peaceful views of the surrounding canyon and canopy.

The surrounding neighborhood further enhances the appeal of the estate. You are right next to Topanga State Park, with incredible access to hiking trails, sweeping ocean views, and spectacular sunsets, Kurtz adds, detailing the recreational opportunities available just steps from the front door. Yet once you are on the property, you feel completely tucked away from the outside world, as though you have entered a little universe of your own. And when the sun goes down and the twinkle lights come on beneath the oak canopy, the entire place transforms. It almost feels like a portal to another world.
