Main House
A flagstone walkway guides your guests from the expansive guest parking area to the main entry where they will be greeted by the tranquil sounds of a stacked stone waterfall. An alcove in the stone wall provides a focal point for art or a sculpture, while a storage cabinet on the porch gives you the perfect spot to kick off your boots before heading inside.
Step inside to an open foyer where your guests can drop off their coats in the coat closet and begin to feel the outside world fall away as they get their first glimpses of the lifestyle this home offers. Stacked stone pillars welcome you into the great room where you first encounter the formal dining area with a built-in buffet, vaulted ceiling, and sliding door to the wrap-around patio offering natural light, mountain views, and easy indoor-outdoor entertaining.
This opens to the living room where the gas fireplace with a stone hearth and surround provides a cozy space for congregating with family and friends. A sliding door leads to the main patio where you can step outside to breathe in the country air and take in the beautiful mountain views that you will be enjoying from just about every room in this sprawling home.
The adjacent kitchen boasts an expansive island with a gorgeous labradorite top, breakfast bar and produce sink, as well as a breakfast nook, walk-in pantry, two refrigerators and freezers, coffee station, wet bar, Bosch dishwasher, built-in Wolf microwave, and a Viking six-burner range with a griddle and a copper and stainless-steel hood. The ample storage in the kitchen and pantry is supplemented by an additional pantry just around the corner in the living room.

From here, a short hallway leads to a private suite set back from the common living areas and perfect for use as a suite for household staff, aging family members, or other longer-term guests who might appreciate the proximity to the kitchen, dining room, and main living area. Guests who stay in this suite will enjoy a vaulted ceiling, ceiling fan, large closet, and an en suite bathroom with travertine floor, travertine shower with a large bench, built-in drawers and hutch, and an expansive, dual-sink vanity with granite countertop and hammered metal sinks.
On the other side of the main living areas, you will find the first primary bedroom option. This expansive, peaceful space features the six-inch, hardwood plank floors found throughout much of the house, a vaulted ceiling with a ceiling fan, stone fireplace, sliding doors and large windows allowing in natural light and beautiful views, a reading nook with window seat and built-in bookshelves, and a built-in entertainment center with drawers and shelves.
The en suite bathroom features a tile floor, tile shower with custom mosaic, jetted soaking tub, two vanities, lav alcove with built-in storage, and two walk-in closets.
Just outside the sliding doors, you can start your morning with that much-needed first cup of coffee or wind down at the end of the day with a glass of wine on the covered, flagstone patio while enjoying beautiful mountain views and looking out over your estate.
To explore the manor’s two expansive guest wings, venture back to the foyer where you will find an alcove with built-in storage leading to the powder room with an onyx-topped vanity and vessel sink. Just beyond this is where the hallways diverge into two distinct wings.

As you enter the larger of the two wings, you step into a grand family room and library with six-inch wood plank floors, wood-beamed, vaulted ceilings, and a stone fireplace. Over-sized windows allow in natural light and mountain views, while an expansive, stacked stone hearth provides the perfect spot to settle in by the fire after choosing a book from the built-in bookshelves.
From here, step into the office where you will find an L-shaped, built-in desk, cozy window seat with drawers for extra storage, pocket doors to close off this workspace from the rooms on either side, flagstone floor, and an exceptional view of the Topa Topa Bluffs where you can watch the Pink Moment settle over the mountain.
Adjacent to the office where you can work comfortably from home is the spacious media room where you can relax or play. This versatile space could be used as a media room, game room, or family room and features an exposed-beam, vaulted ceiling, a wall of windows letting in natural light and mountain views, blackout curtains, cozy carpet inset in a flagstone border, and French doors leading to the outdoor living areas.
Expanding on this perfect space for entertaining guests is the adjacent saloon. The flagstone from the office and the border of the media room continues into this space where you will find an exposed-beam ceiling, a wall of storage cabinets, and a kitchenette with a sink, beverage refrigerator, ice maker, and microwave. There is a locking, glass-front cabinet for storing alcohol or, perhaps, for movie snacks if you use the adjoining space as a media room.
The location of the saloon makes it ideal for entertaining guests or for serving as a kitchenette for guests staying in this wing.
Next is a large utility room with a counter, desk area, storage cabinets, and flagstone floor. This could be used as a second workspace or homework space for family members and guests or would be a good office for your house manager or household staff to use.
The first guest room in this space features a flagstone floor, alcove ceiling, ceiling fan, mountain views, and a sliding glass door to the outdoor living areas.

The second guest room in this wing is another option for use as a primary bedroom or for hosting longer-term guests in a luxury suite. This spacious retreat boasts a flagstone floor, large closet with built-in shelves, statement light fixture, a sliding glass door to a flagstone patio, and beautiful mountain views. The en suite bathroom complements the space with a tile floor, tile shower, separate water closet, and two stone-topped vanities with hammered copper sinks.

There are residential laundry machines in this laundry room; the industrial laundry machines are in a second laundry room adjacent to one of the garages.
The first of the three guest bedrooms in this wing is a large room with a vaulted ceiling, ceiling fan, custom paint, seating area, and wood floor.
As you continue down the hallway, there is a storage closet and a guest bathroom with a tile floor, tile shower, built-in storage, clawfoot bathtub, and stone countertop on a large vanity.
The second guest bedroom in this wing is a large space with a sliding door to a flagstone patio, mountain views, cozy carpet, and wood stairs leading to a spacious loft with a vaulted, exposed-beam ceiling.
The third bedroom in this wing (and seventh overall in the main house, in case you have lost count) features a vaulted ceiling, ceiling fan, cozy carpet, sliding glass door to a flagstone patio, and an en suite bathroom with a walk-in closet, travertine surround for the combination shower and bathtub, and a large vanity with a stone counter.

Guest House/Pool House
When it is time for a workout, a steam, or just a glass a wine while taking in some spectacular mountain views, head on over to the guest house/pool house.
A stone walkway leads from the main house to the 1,200-square-foot guest house adjacent to the outdoor kitchen and pool. This convenient location makes this versatile space perfect for use as a guest house, pool house, entertaining space, or all three.
The living room offers easy access to the pool area through the sliding door, which also allows in natural light and those amazing mountain views. This space opens to the dining room and kitchenette where you will find a sink, refrigerator, microwave, and a second sliding door leading to the pool area and outdoor kitchen. Adjacent to this is the gym, which could easily be transformed into a bedroom or office. There is also a walk-in closet with built-in shelves providing plenty of storage for gym equipment, office supplies, or entertaining necessities.
The bathroom features a linen closet for additional storage, as well as a large vanity with a tile counter. Plus, there is the spacious steam shower with a tiled bench for you and your guests to enjoy. Attached to the guest house/pool house there is an enclosed, outdoor shower and changing room with ample storage for patio cushions and pool toys.
If you have an assistant or staff that works onsite, this might also be the perfect spot to locate their office close to the main house but with a bit of separation.

Grounds & Outdoor Living Areas
Roca Vista Ranch offers resort-style living on a sprawling, 9.98-acre estate with a lighted tennis court, swimming pool and spa, horse facilities, family orchard, flagstone patios, and solar panel field. While experiencing the array of amenities in person is the best way to fully grasp just how much this unique property offers, this will at least give you an idea of what you can enjoy once you make this estate your own.
Let’s begin with the two entries, both of which have electric security gates. The main entry is bordered by beautiful rock pillars and opens to reveal a gently curving driveway that takes you past the three-car garage, two-car garage, tennis court, and barn to deliver you to the main house. The second entry is located near the main house and opens to a large guest parking area with room for RV and toy parking.
The three-car garage is the first you encounter upon entering the property. Above this garage, there is a studio space that could be used as an art studio, yoga and meditation space, or for an additional office outside of the residences. Next is the two-car garage, which also has a laundry room with commercial machines, a laundry folding counter, and storage cabinets. Behind the laundry room there is a bathroom with a shower, and, at the back of the garage there is an outdoor potting area with a metal sink and drain boards.
Behind the garages, there is a large, open space that could be used for a large garden, expanded orchard, animal pens, or a hobby space.
Across from the garages between the main house and tennis court there is a four-stall breezeway barn with two stalls set up for housing animals and two set up as feed and tack rooms. The two stalls set up for horses have both indoor spaces and outdoor runs. The attached roof also covers a four-stall mare motel and a four-stall shedrow barn with a tack room. There are tie rails and a wash rack at the barn, which is just a short walk from the large, lighted, pipe arena with viewing deck, bleacher seating, and turn out pens bordering the arena. There is also a large, fenced pasture.

The next amenity of note is the lighted, north-south tennis court with basketball hoops and a large viewing deck with a water fountain and amazing mountain views. This deck is just one of the outdoor living areas suitable for upscale entertaining and may become one of your favorite spots to spend the evening watching the Pink Moment come across the Topa Topa Bluffs.
Then we have the main outdoor living areas where you are sure to spend lots of time outside enjoying Ojai’s year-round sunshine and the fresh country air. Flagstone patios wrapping around the main house offer ample space for al fresco dining or entertaining, and are connected by a walkway to the expansive patio in the separately fenced pool area. This one-of-a-kind pool features a beach entrance, slide, 60-foot lap-swimming lane, an adjacent wading pool, and a spa atop a waterfall.
There are several seating areas surrounding the pool, including a large area near the outdoor kitchen and patio fireplace. Amazing views of the Topa Topas and Chief Peak abound, and the patio kitchen is packed with amenities for entertaining and everyday living. The luxury features include a built-in grill, burners, pizza oven, bar, serving station, firewood storage, and a gorgeous, stone, gas fireplace.
Other features of note include a 20kW solar array with three Tesla Powerwall battery packs and a family orchard where you can pick your own avocados, oranges, tangerines, grapefruit, limes, lemons, persimmons, pomegranates, apples, figs, plums, olives, and walnuts.
