Before you ever set foot on this historic, 8.36-acre Ojai ranch, it is clear that you are about to enter one of the quintessential horse properties for which Ojai is so well known. A gated entry with river rock pillars, a long driveway that ensures privacy and is bordered by horse pastures, and mature oaks that dot the property are key features of coveted Ojai horse properties, particularly when all of this is set against the backdrop of the Topa Topa Mountains.
While this piece of East End real estate has all of the components that locals and newcomers have come to expect from Ojai ranches for sale, this property is anything but common. In fact, just the historical significance of the barn is enough to set this ranch apart from other horse properties in the area. That is because this particular barn is known to be the historic Wells Fargo stagecoach stop for the valley.

OjaiHaving such an important piece of Ojai history on your property and just steps away from your home gives this farm a unique appeal, which is only made stronger as you consider the vast opportunities this property offers. With nearly 8.5 acres of level land bordered by orchards on two sides, a spacious barn, horse facilities and guest quarters that would provide the perfect home for a caretaker or barn manager, the possibilities are virtually limitless.
The size and layout of the land is perfectly suited for a horse lover, a horse trainer looking to work from home, a budding farmer in search of a farm of a manageable size, or a family who needs lots of room for their various activities and hobbies. There is a rustic, park-like feel throughout, which is enhanced by a grove of mature oak trees, a family orchard, the seasonal creek that runs along the back of the property and numerous outdoor seating areas that are ideal for entertaining or settling in with a good book.
Living at this East End Ojai ranch means that you can start your day by enjoying a cup of tea on the wraparound front porch, gathering fresh eggs from the chicken coop, riding your bike to your favorite coffee shop in downtown Ojai or heading out to the four-stall row of corrals to feed your horses, turn them out in one of the two pastures along the driveway, or saddle up for a morning ride on nearby bridle trails or in your private arena, which is the size of show arenas used for dressage and jumping.
