This secluded California Spanish estate is hidden away at the end of a private driveway on a 10+/- acre, turnkey avocado ranch. A walled courtyard greets guests with amazing mountain and valley views, and the rustic elegance and adobe-like feel make this home particularly inviting.
Just a few minutes from downtown Ojai, a long, tree-lined driveway leads through part of the avocado orchard and arrives at this secluded home with fantastic views. The large parking area is conveniently located with access to both the guest house and main house, while the walled courtyard provides a lovely space in which to greet guest or entertain under the stars.
A flagstone walkway leads from the parking area through the courtyard past a rosemary hedge and mature, low-water landscaping. As you step through the door onto the Mexican tile floor, you enter the main living area, which features a fireplace with a tile hearth and surround, French doors to the courtyard for indoor-outdoor entertaining, two doors leading to step-out balconies, and a vaulted, exposed-beam ceiling with a skylight to bathe the space with natural light. An alcove provides a lovely space for art or your book collection, and a large archway allows the living room to flow seamlessly into the dining room.
Adjacent to the dining room is a step-down family room, media room or office with a wood floor and exposed-beam ceiling. In the dining room, you will find a Mexican tile floor, exposed-beam ceiling and French doors leading to a slate patio that allow in the mountain and orchard views. From this patio, you can reach the pool area by way of a path leading through mature, low-water landscaping.

Conveniently located adjacent to the dining room, the large kitchen has a travertine floor, solid-surface counters, custom cabinets, ample cabinet and counter space, and a Viking range and microwave. Additional storage can be found in the pantry and closet in the hallway off of the kitchen, which leads to the coat closet and the powder room with a Mexican tile floor and stone counter and backsplash.
Tile stairs lead to the second level where you will find the master bedroom and guest bedroom. In the master bedroom, you will find wood floors, an alcove with shelves and French doors leading to a stone tile patio with a sitting wall. From this patio you can enjoy absolutely amazing mountain and valley views. On one side of the patio, stone stairs lead down to the front courtyard, while the other side of the patio is alongside a gravel driveway leading to the pool, which is surrounded by a rock garden wall and, large flagstones and lush, always-green, artificial grass.
The master bedroom is large enough for both a sleeping area and a seating area or desk, and there is plenty of storage space in the walk-in closet and two additional closets in the master suite. The master bathroom features a travertine floor, separate lavatory, a dual sink vanity with ample storage, and a large, oval soaking tub with a marble surround overlooking the pool.

The upstairs hallway leading to the guest bedroom has a linen closet, laundry closet and wood floor that continues into the bedroom. The guest bedroom overlooks the back patio, has great mountain views and features an entire wall of closets with three sets of doors. The en suite bathroom has a travertine floor, a window overlooking the pool and a large vanity.
The guest house is located adjacent to the main parking area and is just a short walk from the main house -- but far enough away for privacy. The large, main room in the guest house has rustic, pine walls and ceiling and is currently used as a bedroom. With its coffee bar and room for a seating area, this is a spacious, comfortable guest suite. There is also a bathroom with a travertine floor and shower, as well as a small room at the entry that could be used as a living room or waiting area. Beyond this room is an office with built-in cabinets and bookshelves, mountain views and rustic, wood walls. While this comfortable, inviting structure makes a wonderful guest house, these great spaces could also be used for a home office, art studio or other creative space. There is enough space in the main room to host yoga classes or a meditation group, and the setup of this structure could also allow you to see clients at home while keeping your business separate from your personal space. Of course, it is also perfect for short- or long-term guests.
Adjacent to the guest house, there is a garden area with a raised garden bed, citrus trees and a small dog run.

Surrounding all of this on this approximately 10-acre ranch is an 8+ acre, fully managed avocado orchard that is on a drip system. This means that the homeowners can enjoy the orchard without doing any of the work, making this a perfect, turnkey setup for an absentee owner using this property as a second home or an owner who wants to enjoy full-time residency while their commercial crop is cared for and harvested with no effort on their part.
There is also plenty of room for horses, and the property is close to the Cozy Dell Trail and other hiking trails. While it feels like you are farther out in the country, this tranquil retreat is just minutes from Ojai's downtown village area, shopping, dining, the local farmers market, art galleries and more. This makes this particular home an ideal choice for a weekend retreat away from the city or a full-time country home for someone who needs to stay within driving distance of Burbank and beyond.
