About This Property
California soul, reimagined in the timeless spirit of vintage Ojai
style. Set quietly at the end of an East End lane, this thoroughly
rebuilt home reflects the best of Ojai's classic aesthetic. The
design balances rustic textures and an evocative play of shadow and
light with today's modern comforts, resulting in a residence
defined by craftsmanship, intention, and quiet luxury.Wrapped in
new cedar board and batten siding, the home feels like a hidden
retreat. Restored antique steel windows frame views of native
plantings - sage, grasses, ancient olive trees, and flowering
species chosen to soften the architecture and echo the landscape of
early California estates. Pathways lead to intimate outdoor areas,
including a fire pit terrace tucked into its own private area,
perfect for slow evenings under the stars. A portion of the
property is dedicated to a thriving and abundant citrus orchard
featuring navel oranges and Meyer lemons.The 15' x 40' pool becomes
a shimmering focal point of the grounds: long, elegant, and framed
by a green lawn and curated plantings. It reads more like a
boutique hotel pool- refined, calm, and designed for both swimming
and sunlit lounging. The surrounding landscape includes rock-curbed
planters, perimeter hedges, and thoughtful fencing, lending the
property a sense of privacy and natural enclosure.Inside, the home
has been fully rebuilt for modern longevity including: new
plumbing, new electrical, upgraded panels, new gas main and septic,
a 4-ton, 2-zone HVAC system, and on-demand hot water. These systems
quietly support a world defined by warm materials- Douglas fir and
redwood paneling, cork floors, encaustic cement tile, custom
cabinetry, and vintage lighting sourced for authenticity. The
kitchen looks out on the great room and dining area with custom
shelving, handcrafted counters, and Viking equipment including a
36" range and hood. An adjoining pantry, complete with paneling,
shelving, counter space, and a wine cooler, functions like a
private back-of-house galley designed for effortless hosting.
Through the pantry is a dedicated laundry and mud room with a
separate entrance. The living room is a showpiece of California
ranch architecture, with structural trusses, Douglas fir paneling,
and a stone fireplace that anchors the home. It's a space that
invites gathering, conversation, and long, quiet mornings. Just
outside the living area is a trellised area with exterior living
areas for dining and a fireplace for cozy evenings. The primary
suite channels the intimacy of a vintage casita, with cork
flooring, warm paneling, vintage lighting, and two walk-in closets.
Its ensuite bath features hand-laid cement tile, a soaking tub, a
custom shower, and Waterworks fixtures, chosen to bridge heritage
and luxury.Two additional bedroom suites continue the theme of
craftsmanship, one with an ensuite bathroom, each wrapped in
redwood paneling with generous built-ins and decorative beams.
Their bathrooms, also finished with Waterworks fixtures, bring a
spa-like refinement to the residence. Even the utility spaces carry
the same level of care - the laundry room with custom counters and
shelving, LG stacked machines, and paneling; the powder room with
Waterworks fixtures and a built-in closet - demonstrating that no
detail was overlooked. A finished attic room, reached by a ladder,
serves as a secret hideaway for kids, with built-ins for mattresses
for hosting sleepovers and endless fun.This home is a rare
expression of classic Ojai restored, revived, and elevated, a
private refuge crafted for those who appreciate architectural soul
paired with modern ease.
