Royal Oaks Ranch is a perfect example of the Ojai lifestyle that draws so many to the valley. With just a five-minute drive, you can be in the heart of downtown Ojai enjoying boutique shopping, fine dining, weekly farmers markets, spas, galleries, community theater, and concerts in the park. But you don’t even have to leave the property to enjoy luxury amenities and resort-style living every day right at home.
Persimmon Hill is less than five minutes from downtown Ojai and is home to country estates with upscale amenities and beautiful mountain views. Nestled behind a custom, wrought-iron entry gate and bordered with privacy landscaping, Royal Oaks Ranch is a stunning example of the elegant luxury that Persimmon Hill and the Ojai lifestyle offer.
Upon entering through the electric security gate bordered by towering palm trees, drive past vibrant, mature landscaping and a family orchard with fruit and olive trees to enter this five-acre oasis. As you near the house, park in one of the detached garages with room for six cars or in the ample guest parking in front of and behind the garages. If you need to unload your latest antiquing finds or fresh produce from one of Ojai’s weekly farmers markets, there is even a porte-cochère offering shaded parking next to the house.
There is much to see outside, but let’s first make our way along the flagstone walkway leading from the parking area to the wrap-around, covered front porch to step into the main entry and go over some of the many features inside.

As you step into the large foyer with wood floors and a built-in bench, you are immediately greeted with a glimpse of what this unique, custom home has to offer. One of the first things you will notice is the abundance of natural light that bathes the interior through the home’s 106 windowpanes. The many windows throughout the house also allow you to enjoy beautiful views in every direction, while the landscaping allows you to enjoy these views without concern for privacy.
You will also notice the spacious feel of the open floor plan and just the beginnings of the many custom touches you will find as you explore.
Step down into the living room where you will find a beautiful, stone fireplace and alcove ceiling, and then on to the adjacent dining room, which is spacious enough for a large table for dinner parties. The wood floor from the dining room continues into the kitchen, which features exposed beams in the alcove ceiling, ample cabinet and counter space, a peninsula that could be used as a breakfast bar, and a butler’s pantry.
Accessed through the kitchen or the foyer, the library is also located in this wing and has a stone fireplace, built-in bookshelves, and a sliding door leading to the main outdoor living area. Between the kitchen and library, there is a convenient powder room for your guests to use.
To begin to explore the newer addition where there are still opportunities to add your personalized touches, meander down the hallway off the back of the kitchen. In this hallway, you will find a door to the parking area, a door to the pool area, a guest bathroom with a steam shower, and the stairs leading down to the wine cellar.

As you descend into this elegant space, antique, iron garden gates welcome you into the wine tasting room where scene lighting allows you to preset the mood. There is space in the tasting room for a table and seating areas for more intimate dinner parties or social gatherings. Large windows and a glass door allow you and your guests to see into the wine storage area, while the travertine floors lend themselves to the European feel of the wine cellar.
Also on this level, you will find the gym and massage room, which also has a travertine floor.
Continuing down the hall at the top of the stairs brings you to the family room. This beautiful space has an exposed-beam ceiling, cozy fireplace, French doors leading to the pool area, and a second set of French doors leading to a covered patio with a ceiling fan where you and your guests can enjoy coffee or a glass of wine while watching friends practice on the outdoor putting green.
There is also hot and cold water and a drain roughed in in the wall for this space if you would like to add a bar and make it a game room or a kitchenette for guest quarters. This is also where the back staircase is located, which leads to one of the primary bedroom options on the second floor.
The upper floor is home to two adjoining primary suites, three guest bedrooms, the laundry room, and the media room. The media room features an exposed-beam, wood ceiling, two ceiling fans, built-in shelves, large windows for natural light and beautiful views, and an indoor, nine-hole putting green with regulation cups. Just off this versatile space is the laundry room with a sink, travertine folding counter and floor, storage cabinets, and space and outlets for both side-by-side units and stackable machines if you need two sets to meet your laundry needs.

A double door from the media room leads into one of the guest bedrooms, which is currently set up for use as either a guest room or an office. The next guest bedroom features a walk-in, cedar-lined closet, ceiling fan, and a beautiful view of a heritage oak and the mountains beyond. The media room and these two bedrooms are served by a guest bathroom in the hallway in which you will find a travertine floor and vanity, as well as a tile shower.
The third guest bedroom boasts a cedar-lined, walk-in closet, mountain and swimming pool views, and an en suite bathroom with a travertine floor and a tile and travertine shower.
Then we come to the expansive primary wing, which features two spacious primary suites and is awaiting your personalized touches. Here, you have the option of enjoying them as adjoining suites attached through a shared en suite bathroom, or separating them for two independent suites, each with a walk-in closet and en suite bath.
The first primary suite option features a large room with a vaulted ceiling with exposed-beam, rough-sawn, Douglas fir beams. There is a large, walk-in closet with a pocket door leading to the shower with dual rain shower heads, mountain and pool views, and stairs leading down to the family room. If you would like to use this suite as guest quarters, you could make the downstairs family room a living space for your guests staying in this wing.
The second primary suite option also boasts a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and a ceiling fan, walk-in closet, and an en suite bath with a travertine shower with dual rain shower heads, adjustable wall shower head, and a handheld shower head. From this relaxing space, you can begin and end your day with beautiful views of the surrounding mountains and the pool area.
These suites can be used together as a massive primary wing with flexible spaces for two bedrooms, office or yoga space, or a private sitting or entertaining area, or they could be separated to use one as your primary suite and the other as guest quarters, a game room, a spacious art studio, or an additional living area. The two are currently joined by a shared en suite bathroom with two separate vanities, a separate water closet, large shower, and a freestanding soaking tub where you can soak your stress away in front of an electric fireplace.

Outdoor Living and Resort-Style Amenities
One of the first things you will notice upon entering the property is the family orchard bordering both sides of the driveway. This allows you the joy of growing some of your own food and offers you and your guests the opportunity to enjoy freshly picked fruits. This orchard is also part of the well-designed, mature landscaping that beautifies the grounds and provides privacy as you enjoy the multitude of outdoor amenities offered on this unique property. Other trees you will find on the estate include heritage oaks, crepe myrtle, pepper trees, pine trees, sycamores, queen palms, Ficus, liquid amber, and magnolia trees.
As you venture down the driveway towards the house, you will notice a large outdoor activity area just to the right of the driveway. This is where you will find the Bocce ball court with a brick sitting wall and covered viewing deck, a second covered patio with a slate chessboard, and the volleyball and badminton area.
To the left of the driveway is a large, grassy area with plenty of space for hosting gatherings, playing, creating more outdoor living areas, expanding the orchard, or adding other amenities.
As you continue to the house, you arrive at the detached, six-car garage and guest parking area. You will find so much great function here, such as the workshop space attached to one of the garages, the pergola-covered tractor or toy parking between the garages and the stone pumphouse for the well, the circular driveway leading to all of this and back around to the gate, and the porte-cochère to ensure you and your guests can comfortably traverse the space between the parking area and the house. There is even a secluded seating area with a quaint garden gate tucked away behind the garages.
As a bonus, one of the garages is currently set up as a golf swing room with artificial turf flooring, a swing net, and a hole for also practicing putting. Of course, this is just one of the golf amenities on the property. Aside from this swing practice room and the indoor putting green in the house, there is also a driving range with a two-person tee box with artificial turf and striking mats, as well as an outdoor putting green with a bunker.
Depending on the time of day your guests are using the putting green, you may prefer to watch from the covered patio off the family room or from the nearby fire pit. As you move from this outdoor living area around the house to the main outdoor entertaining space and swimming pool, you pass exterior hot and cold faucets for an outdoor shower or bathtub or for a dog wash, which are just one more example of the attention to detail that makes this house so versatile for adapting to your lifestyle.
The main outdoor living area is a pergola-covered, flagstone patio accessed through a sliding door from the library. This beautiful entertaining space looks out to the pool area and surrounding lawns and has misters to help keep your guests comfortable on the hotter days of summer. Of course, they can also simply meander down the walkway leading to the pool area where they can cool off in the swimming pool while others lounge on the surrounding patio or indulge in the soothing warmth of the spa.
If you are a horse lover, there is a fenced pasture and plenty of space to add a barn and arena, or, if you are more of a wine lover, you can just meander through the pasture with a bottle of wine to spend the evening enjoying the mountain views on the viewing deck tucked under the trees.
Then, the next morning, you can enjoy breakfast on the covered front porch, which has ceiling fans, firewood storage, and plenty of space for an outdoor dining room and other seating areas.
If you have an RV or guests who prefer to stay in their RV while visiting, the property is equipped with RV parking with hookups.

Infrastructure
This custom estate has all the comforts and conveniences mentioned above and is also set up for further expansion or customization. For example, the house has extensive speaker wiring and cat7 throughout in anticipation of the needs of future owners. There is also roughed-in plumbing and a drain in the family room just in case you would like to add a wet bar or, perhaps, a kitchenette.
There is extra insulation for noise reduction and climate control, and there are three four-ton air conditioning condensers and furnaces controlled by four wireless thermostats. There is a tankless water heater and recirculating pump to ensure hot water on demand and a water softener system in place.
The private well has a 3hp pump, as well as an additional pump, and there is a 10,000-gallon water storage tank. For harvesting rainwater, there are also attractive rain barrels at the downspouts for the copper gutter system that just need to be hooked up to the downspouts to start collecting rain.
The property is served by an upgraded, larger gas line, and the property is plumbed for irrigation, including a two-inch line to the back of the property and three electronic controllers. The property is on city sewer with a septic system installed as an automatic backup.
There is also a 150-year copper roof, voice- and phone-controlled lighting and music, and so much more to see and experience when you call Nora to book your private tour.
