Escape to the serenity of this secluded retreat tucked away in Wheeler Canyon and surrounded by beautiful mountain and canyon views. Here, you can enjoy sprawling, single-story living on more than 33 acres where you can collect eggs from the custom chicken coop, harvest fruit from the family orchard, grow vegetables and herbs in raised garden beds, pick wildflowers, and take your morning coffee by your private pond while watching the abundant wildlife.
As you turn on to Liveoak Avenue, pass through the gate and continue to enjoy a leisurely, country drive on the private road shared with your neighbors. As you approach Live Oak Retreat, feel the stresses of the day and the weight of city life fall away as the mountain backdrop beckons to you.
As you approach, you will pass the quaint, stone pumphouse, a large carport and gravel parking area for guests, and a picnic area. Park in the two-car garage or under the attached carport in the family parking area, and take in the beauty of the rose garden before heading inside. The stamped concrete path leading to the main entrance is bordered by flowers and metal cactus art and delivers you to a covered front porch with impressive beams beneath the tile roof.
As you step into the foyer, you are greeted by the terra cotta tile and vaulted, exposed-beam ceilings that you will find throughout. Just off the entry, there is a coat closet and guest bathroom with a tile shower and vanity.

To the left of the foyer, a guest bedroom with an en suite bathroom is conveniently located for use as maid’s quarters or for longer-term guests. This guest room features cozy carpet, a ceiling fan, and an exterior door to a small patio. The en suite bath has a large, tile vanity, tile shower-bathtub surround, terra cotta tile, and a built-in storage cabinet.
Next is a large laundry room with plenty of space to also be used as an office, craft room, or hobby space. The terra cotta tile floor, sink, ample counter space, and built-in cabinets and workspace make this flexible space easy to use for multiple purposes. There is also a door to the garage for conveniently bringing in groceries or art supplies from the car or for using this space as a mud room.
Adjacent to these spaces is the well-appointed kitchen featuring a large island with an inset cutting board and breakfast bar, Wolf range, two Thermador ovens, pantry, ceiling fan, vaulted ceiling, terra cotta floor, tile counter and backsplash, and a door accessing one of the outdoor living areas and the two dog runs. There is also a casual dining area in this space with French doors leading to a covered patio and letting in amazing views.
In the hallway leading from the kitchen to the family entrance, there is a water closet, tile shower, sink area with storage for cleaning supplies, and a closet.
On the other side of the kitchen, the formal dining room offers a large space for entertaining with a vaulted ceiling, ceiling fan, gorgeous views, and French doors leading to a covered, flagstone patio situated between the dining room and living room. French doors from the living room also lead to this outdoor space, for easy indoor-outdoor entertaining.

A terra cotta-tiled hallway leads to the remaining bedrooms, including a guest bedroom with a ceiling fan, walk-in closet, carpet, mountain views, and access to the guest bathroom located off the entry.
This is also where you will find the multi-room owner’s suite. As you enter the suite, the first room is a large, flexible space that is currently set up for use as an office complete with built-in desks, bookshelves, and drawers. There is also a ceiling fan, carpet, and French doors leading to a private, covered patio. The next room is the bedroom with cozy carpet, a vaulted ceiling, ceiling fan, and French doors to a covered patio that connects with the main outdoor living area.
A dressing area connects the bedroom to a large, walk-in closet and to the en suite bathroom with an over-sized jetted soaking tub with a tile surround and mountain views, dual-sink vanity with ample storage and lots of tile counter space, a slate tile shower with a tile bench, and a separate water closet. Arched openings connecting the rooms enhance the suite’s character, while terra cotta tile floors in the bathroom and dressing area are reminiscent of the flooring found throughout this spacious home.
When you aren’t enjoying beautiful mountain views while soaking in the over-sized tub or curling up in front of the stone fireplace with a good book, you will likely find yourself drawn to one of the multiple outdoor living areas or taking a short walk to some of the property’s other amenities.

This all starts with the covered alcove with a ceiling fan between the living room and dining room. This would be the perfect place for an al fresco breakfast table or ending the evening with a small group of friends and a bottle of wine. Adjacent to this is a large, stamped concrete patio with a sitting wall, patio oven, and amazing mountain and canyon views.
A covered, flagstone walkway leads around the house to another stamped concrete patio with a pergola to provide shade and a gate leading to a fenced garden area with raised garden beds. The flagstone walkway continues around the corner to a more private, covered patio off of the owner’s suite. Adjacent to the house, there are also two dog runs with gravel ground cover and shade cloth coverings.
Separate from the house, there is a large, custom chicken coop, family orchard, private pond, five wells, water storage tanks, covered equipment and workshop area, and a darling, tiny structure that is the perfect spot for a meditation studio, art studio, or writer’s retreat.
The tranquility of country living at Live Oak Retreat is just about 10 miles from the shops, restaurants, and museums in historic downtown Santa Paula. From there, you can take the 150 to Ojai or the 126 to Ventura. This secluded ranch is also just about 60 miles from Burbank and about 45 miles from Santa Barbara, which means you can enjoy the simpler life you have always wanted with easy access to city amenities when needed.
