Rock Star Haven Egg House In Topanga Canyon Is For Sale

Topanga Canyon’s One of a Kind “Egg House”
Topanga Canyon is one of LA’s most unique neighborhoods. Nestled in the Santa Monica mountains, the tight-knit community is known for its spectacular nature and Bohemian vibes. During the 1960s and 70s, the neighborhood was a haven for rock stars, including Canada’s own Neil Young and Joni Mitchell along with Jim Morrison, several members of The Eagles, and even country legend Linda Ronstadt among its talented residents. R&B superstar Marvin Gaye described Topanga as “a place where I can create my masterpiece,” and numerous artists agreed. Local venue The Topanga Corral hosted some of the all-time greats and inspired The Doors’ hit “Roadhouse Blues.” Simultaneously accessible and remote, the region remains a sanctuary for artists of all kinds. 

The opportunity to own a piece of this special neighborhood presents itself with the listing of Topanga Canyon’s “Egg House” for $4.995 million usd/ $6.790 million cad. This sculptural masterpiece of brutalism and organic design proudly sits at 225 Powderhorn Ranch Road.


Designed and built by artist couple Chad Hagerman and Allison Ochmanek of Rascal Makers, the home is inspired by the concept of the embryo – the origin of life, potential, and transformation. Combining brutalist architecture with organic materials, the bespoke home offers a serene aesthetic with touches of Japanese minimalism. The home is a true statement piece, with handcrafted plaster walls,  stone floors, artisan fixtures, and thoughtful details throughout. With four beds and five baths, the stunning home offers 3,350 square feet of living space.
