The Gertrud and Otto Natzler Residence

Tucked at the end of a long private drive in a secluded hillside setting in Upper Nichols Canyon, this 1937 home served as both sanctuary and working studio for master ceramic artists Gertrud and Otto Natzler, who purchased the property in 1945. Offered now for the first time in 80 years, the residence remains an extraordinary testament to their creative lives. Drawn to the site for its privacy, natural light, and detached guest house — which they immediately envisioned as a studio — the Natzlers transformed the property into a center of artistic and musical life.

In sun-filled rooms overlooking treetops and quiet canyons, Gertrud threw delicate ceramic forms on the wheel they brought from Austria, Otto developed groundbreaking glazes, and together they hosted intimate chamber-music evenings and gathered a circle of artists, musicians, and thinkers. The environment — serene, natural, and removed from the pace of the city — became essential to their practice: controlled light for viewing work, space for kilns and experimentation, and a domestic life seamlessly interwoven with creation.
