The primary suite is a true retreat—complete with wraparound mountain views, a spa-like ensuite bathroom, and an oversized walk-in closet. Set on three lush acres, the outdoor space is a highlight: mature orange and lemon trees provide fresh citrus year-round, and towering palms and heritage olive trees create a secluded, Mediterranean-style path for peaceful strolls at golden hour. Additional amenities include: Three-car garage with private EV charger (one stall reserved for owner storage) Lightly furnished interiors for an easy move-in or your own personal touch Gated security, quiet cul-de-sac location, and sweeping 360-degree views of the iconic Topa Topa Mountains Just ten minutes from Lake Casitas and moments from downtown Ojai’s charming shops, art galleries, and restaurants, you’ll find both adventure and leisure right at your fingertips.

Perched on the edge of the Topatopa Mountains, Ojai is a small resort community about twenty miles due north of Ventura. One of the community’s distinguishing features is its lack of chain stores—virtually all shops, restaurants, and other businesses are locally-owned and operated, helping Ojai to maintain its unique character. Ojai Avenue at the center of town is lined with boutique shops, eclectic cafes, art galleries, specialty grocers, and neighborhood bars in a walkable, village-style layout.
The location allows you to head into the mountains anytime for a weekend exploring the miles of trails running through Los Padres National Forest. The stunning scenery and upscale small-town vibe have made Ojai an enormously popular tourism destination, but those who choose to make their home here get to enjoy the city’s charms year-round.
