On the Farm

The community of Chatsworth is noted for its rocky peaks and equine neighborhoods, where residents still board and ride horses as if it were a century ago. That Old West heritage has inspired a Newport Beach developer to build a tract of roomy homes with a modern take on “American farmhouse” design just off Topanga Canyon Boulevard. That means open floor plans, verandas, large courtyards and even an optional in-law unit for grandma and grandpa. Just don’t expect to board your horse in these units, though a large dog would certainly feel right at home. Stoney Point Estates 10867 Topanga Canyon Blvd., Chatsworth Developer: Planet Home Living, Newport Beach Cost: Did not disclose Units: 15 homes on lots of more than 20,000 square feet. Sales Price: Starting at $979,000 for homes of 3,500 square feet to 5,000 square feet. Status: First phase includes eight houses with two already sold. Construction on second phase expected to begin next month, with total build-out in the spring. Features: American “farmhouse” architecture with verandas at front and back for shading. Four to five bedrooms and three-and-a-half to five bathrooms. Optional in-law suites at ground level. Granite countertops or upgrade, Shaker cabinets, large stainless steel sinks. Options for RV storage and parking. Quote: “The buzz word is multi-generational living. It’s a house that you can buy as a young couple and live upstairs in the main bedroom, and as you get older, you can live on the first story and never need to go upstairs,” said Michael Marini, chief executive of Planet Home Living. “It’s very rare to have a new development on such large acreage.” – Elliot Golan
