Sometimes you just need to get away from it all -- the
city lights, the traffic, the long days at the office and the stressors of
everyday life. For most people, this means booking a hotel in their favorite
vacation spot, anticipating their getaway for weeks or months before they can
get the time off work, driving or flying for hours to get there, and then
finally relaxing for a brief few days before heading home and getting right
back to the grind.
But it doesn't have to be that way.
When you have a home in the country nestled in a park-like setting that feels like a private retreat, every day can feel like a vacation.
But it doesn't have to be that way.
When you have a home in the country nestled in a park-like setting that feels like a private retreat, every day can feel like a vacation.
As you enter this tranquil oasis and the
remote-controlled, solar-powered security gate closes behind you, you can feel
the rest of the world slipping away. Gone are the sounds of the city, the
traffic jams, the long meetings and the workplace politics. In their place, you
find a soft breeze rustling through the leaves, an inviting spa beckoning you
to soak away your troubles, pathways meandering through the trees, and tranquil
spaces designed for meditation, yoga or simply relaxing in nature.
This is the type of home that invites you to slip into your most comfortable attire, mix your favorite cocktail and while away an entire afternoon relaxing by the pool under the shade of a palm tree.
It provides a truly retreat-like atmosphere for a full-time residence or weekend escape with the added benefits of privacy and versatile spaces that allow you to customize this Upper Ojai property to perfectly fit your needs.

As you enter this Spanish-style home from the covered
front porch, you step into a tile entry bathed in natural light from two large
skylights over the formal dining area. With this unique home design, the formal
dining area is a central gathering place for family and friends that connects
to the living room, family room, kitchen and game room.
Stepping down to the living room, there is a brick fireplace, large windows, new carpet and an exposed beam ceiling that brings rustic warmth to the room. Adjacent to the living room, there is an open game room with an exposed beam ceiling and laminate floor. While we are calling it a game room, this is a rather versatile space that could be used for many purposes. It connects to the kitchen, which would allow it to easily be used as a casual or formal dining room. It also has a closet with shelving and lots of natural light, making it a great space for an art studio, office, yoga studio or play room.
The adjoining kitchen features tile counters, a desk area for managing the house or updating your food blog, lots of cabinets, a view of the pool and grounds, and a breakfast bar separating it from the family room. In the family room, you will find a second brick fireplace and sliding doors leading to a large, screened sun porch and the outdoor entertaining areas beyond.

The downstairs guest bathroom, which is conveniently located for use during outdoor or indoor entertaining, has a shower, a tile floor and attractive wainscoting. Beyond this guest bath, there is a flex room that could be used as a laundry room, craft room or office.
To keep your personal quarters separate from entertaining areas, the master and guest bedrooms are tucked away on the second floor for added privacy and tranquility. In the master bedroom, you will find an exposed beam ceiling, a ceiling fan, two large closets in the dressing area and French doors that lead to a balcony where you can enjoy views of the pool, grounds and mountains. The master bathroom has a tile vanity with dual sinks, an additional vanity in the dressing area, and a separate lavatory and shower. Upstairs, you will also find large closets in each of the two guest rooms, a linen closet, and a guest bathroom with a tile counter, tile bathtub surround and built-in shelving.

Versatile Work or Creative Spaces
Flexible rooms inside this Upper Ojai home provide extra
space for work or leisurely pursuits, while the separate buildings on the
property enhance its versatility, allowing you to truly create an environment the
suits your lifestyle and fits your needs. There are two buildings that are
separate from the home that have electricity and are included in the home's
security system.
The first building is a quaint, wooden cottage that is currently used as a gym and meditation room. The second building is a large two-room structure with a covered breezeway separating the rooms. One of the rooms is currently used as an office, and the other is used as a large storage area. This building has a covered patio and a deck and is set back from the home.
Either of these spaces could be used as a yoga studio, meditation studio, writer's or artist's studio, office, exercise room, craft room or sewing room. Because they are close to the home but away from everyday living spaces, either of these buildings could also provide the perfect opportunity to work from home while keeping your work life and home life separate. If your work includes seeing clients, having this separate space may be particularly appealing, and a walkway leading from the guest parking area to these buildings allows you to accommodate your clients in a beautiful, natural setting without the need for them to enter your home.
The larger building with a deck and covered patio could also be an ideal location for teaching indoor or outdoor art classes or yoga classes, or the perfect place for your meditation group or book club to meet. Three sliding doors connect the interior space with the patio and deck for the convenience of your guests, clients or students.

Outdoor Living in Pastoral Upper Ojai
The well-designed outdoor living areas offered by this
home start with a spacious, screened sun porch that is just off of the family
room. The porch looks out to the deck, pool and grounds and is ideal for
hosting dinner parties or afternoon luncheons, as well as simply relaxing with family
or friends at the end of the day.
Just outside of the sun porch is a large deck with a pergola and a patio that leads to the separately fenced swimming pool and spa. There is also a walkway leading under a canopy of trees to an additional paving stone patio and a wooden walkway leading from the pool area to the office and its covered patio and deck.
Beyond this area, there is a water storage tank, a storage shed and a large, fenced garden area with raised, concrete garden beds. There is also a fenced dog run for your furry friends and a large, open area dotted with several trees that would make a perfect meditation garden or additional outdoor entertaining space.
All of this is in a park-like setting with mature landscaping, many trees and walkways that meander through the natural beauty this property offers. The abundance of trees on the property enhances the secluded, peaceful feeling of this country retreat, which includes a family orchard providing citrus fruits for fresh-squeezed juices or homemade marmalade.
