As you enter this property through one of two formal entryways crafted of local river rock, you will feel the stress melt away as you realize that, simply put, this house just feels like home. Mature trees and well-manicured lawns greet you as you enter the circular driveway and make your way to the roomy two-car garage or spacious parking area. The Topa Topa Mountains provide the backdrop for this Ojai horse property, and the incredible views found from both the house and barn area are apparent as soon as you pull into the driveway.
Once you step inside this 2,247-square-foot custom Craftsman ranch-style home, you are enveloped in the natural light and open feel provided by vaulted ceilings and abundant windows. When you are not entertaining guests on the expansive patio or exercising your horse in your private arena, the great room is surely where you will want to spend your time. An open floor plan, hardwood floors, an impressive river rock fireplace and three sets of French doors leading to private patio areas make this the perfect central gathering place for family or friends. Since the great room opens to the formal dining area and kitchen, it is easy to visit with guests or discuss the day’s happenings with your family as you prepare meals to enjoy at the breakfast bar, at the dining room table or outdoors.
Aside from a breakfast bar, the well-designed country kitchen also features custom alder wood cabinets, a sub-zero refrigerator, a gas range, tile counters and French doors leading out to one of the patios, which allows you to easily enjoy your morning coffee outside as you take in the mountain views and enjoy the country feel of this Ojai horse property.
The main floor is also where you will find two guest rooms, one of which has floor-to-ceiling windows looking out to the landscaped backyard, as well as French doors leading to one of the patio areas. The second guest room also features French doors and windows that allow in natural light, making this an ideal space for visitors, as well as a home office or hobby room.
The second floor is home to the private master suite, which features two master bathrooms and a cedar-lined walk-in closet with additional storage areas. Both master baths have tile counters with one featuring a soaking tub, and the other a shower. From the master suite, you can also enjoy views of the horse area and the mountains beyond through the room’s custom windows. This spacious master suite has more than enough room for both a sleeping area and a sitting area, making it a lovely place to spend an afternoon reading a great book or working on your own novel as you look out over the grounds.
Horse lovers are sure to be drawn to the back of the property where there is a four-stall shed row barn with in-and-out stalls, a tack room and feed storage, as well as wash racks, cross ties and an arena. The property is fully fenced and cross fenced, which separates the well-equipped horse area from the beautifully landscaped backyard and patios that were clearly designed for outdoor entertaining. A stone walkway takes you from the house to the horse area for morning feedings and afternoon rides, and the nearby bridle trails are sure to call to you whenever you have a few hours to spare.
Even with all of this already included on this 1.81-acre property, there is still plenty of room to add a garden, greenhouse, yoga pavilion, play area or whatever you desire to personalize this property and ensure that you have all you need just steps away from your door. With the mountains so close and the rural feel of this horse property, it might be a bit difficult to believe that it is located in the City of Ojai and is just an easy stroll away from the shopping, entertainment and eateries found downtown. Of course, when you can enjoy horseback riding in your private arena or relax with friends on your patio as you watch the Pink Moment appear on the bluffs as the sun sets, you may find that home is the only place you want to be.
