Over a year-round bridge and down a driveway that is just long enough to ensure privacy, this magnificently updated 1917 farmhouse on more than 40 acres is just minutes from downtown Ojai. This tranquil retreat, located in Ojai’s prestigious East End neighborhood, encompasses all of the land along Ojai Avenue between Reeves Road and Carne Road, which means the entire block, lined on three sides by roads, is yours to enjoy.
The main house is approximately 3,000 square feet with three bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, a beautiful country kitchen and a spacious living room. In the remodeled kitchen, you will find granite counter tops, a Viking range, a built-in wine rack in the large, walk-in pantry and plenty of storage. The laundry room is also located off of the kitchen for convenience.

In the main living area, there is a living room with a marble fireplace and built-in bookshelves, a den and a powder room for guests. From the den, which could just as easily double as a library to house your collection of rare books, French doors lead to the travertine wrap-around porch. Just beyond this porch is where you will find the first guest house with a travertine patio and the life-size chess board located at the foot of the viewing tower.
There is another set of French doors leading from the dining room to an enclosed patio, which leads to a flagstone outdoor living space that has a swimming pool with an electric safety cover, a hot tub and a gas fire pit. From here, you can enjoy spectacular mountain views or watch the Pink Moment settle over the Topa Topas in your separately fenced backyard surrounded by citrus groves.

Panoramic
views greet you from nearly every window in the house, and the park-like
setting with impeccable landscaping is just outside your door whenever you want
to step outside for the fresh air and year-round exceptional weather Ojai
offers. And what farmhouse would be complete without a covered porch? The
beautiful covered porch on this home stretches along the entire front of the
house and is the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee or simply enjoy the
tranquility of the well-manicured grounds.
There are also four additional houses on the property, including a remodeled guest house with one bedroom and a half bath, a remodeled circa 1920 foreman’s residence with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, a remodeled circa 1920 guest house with three bedrooms and one bathroom, and a remodeled circa 1920 guest house with one bedroom and one bathroom.
For anyone who may have lost count while reading all of that, that comes to a total of 11 bedrooms, five full bathrooms and two half baths in a total of five houses located on the property. This is an ideal setup for an extended family, or for an owner who plans on escaping to their country retreat on a part-time basis and would like an on-site groundskeeper, or rental income from one or more of the guest houses.

To further enjoy the panoramic views, you can step out on the viewing deck of an old grain storage tower that has been renovated to provide outdoor storage for patio furniture, sports equipment and pool toys. You can spend a lazy Saturday watching your children or grandchildren play in the swimming pool, or challenge a friend to a game of chess on your life-size, outdoor chess set. Or you can spend the morning on a trail ride through your own property or on nearby bridle paths, or at Ojai’s popular farmers’ market to stock your kitchen with local, organic produce.
At the end of the day, relax on your patio as you watch the Pink Moment settle in over the Topa Topa Bluffs or simply look at just how bright the stars are in a truly dark country sky far from the streetlights of the city.
