About this home

Discover a hidden Oasis in the Ojai Valley. Once a retreat for old Hollywood, this enchanting historical farmhouse is beautifully situated on roughly 6 acres of verdant land, bordered by a tranquil creek. The property was meticulously restored with an addition in 1991, merging its historical charm with contemporary upgrades for today's lifestyle. Spanning approximately 3,000 square feet, the main house features four well-appointed bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms, offering ample space for family and guests alike. The heart of the home is its spacious living areas-with a fireplace that has fossils hidden in the rockwork-which exude a warm and inviting ambiance, perfect for gatherings. Outside, the estate shines lush green vegetation, fruit trees, four gardens, and multiple lawns, ideal for outdoor entertainment. The grounds are a haven of peace, with four different water features and sources. The most eye-catching and ear soothing is Bear Creek which feeds fresh water through a beautiful waterfall into the Koi Pond. Next, you have rights to a massive aquifer that supplies your private well. Cool off by the pool and gaze at your surroundings with the most iconic valley views. Quench your thirst with access to a natural Artisan Spring. In the summer heat, you will be in the envy of the valley. For the equestrian enthusiast, there's a large barn and horse facilities. Several other outbuildings provide versatile use options, further enhancing this property's appeal. Embrace the opportunity to own a slice of paradise, where luxury meets history in the heart of Ventura County.

Condition Rating
Fair

The property was originally built in 1930 but underwent a significant restoration and addition in 1991. While the description states 'contemporary upgrades,' the visible interior elements, such as the light fixtures and overall aesthetic, appear traditional and consistent with a 1990s renovation, making them outdated by current standards. The hardwood floors are in good condition, and the exterior and grounds are meticulously maintained. However, the absence of kitchen and bathroom images, which are critical for a 'Good' or 'Excellent' rating, suggests these areas likely reflect the 1991 renovation's style and would require minor to moderate updates to meet modern buyer expectations. Major components are functional but show signs of being outdated, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Extensive & Unique Grounds: The property spans roughly 6 acres of verdant land, featuring lush vegetation, fruit trees, four gardens, multiple lawns, a swimming pool, and four distinct natural water features including Bear Creek, a waterfall, Koi pond, and a natural artisan spring.
Historical Significance & Blended Charm: An enchanting 1930s farmhouse, once an old Hollywood retreat, meticulously restored and expanded in 1991, seamlessly merging historical character with contemporary upgrades and unique details like a fossil fireplace.
Private Water Independence: Benefits from rights to a massive aquifer supplying a private well and access to a natural artisan spring, offering valuable self-sufficiency and resilience, particularly in California.
Panoramic Valley Views: Boasts iconic valley, hill, mountain, pond, and creek views, providing a picturesque and tranquil living environment from various points on the estate.
Equestrian & Multi-Use Facilities: Equipped with a large barn, dedicated horse facilities, and several other outbuildings, offering significant appeal for equestrian enthusiasts and versatile utility for various needs.

Cons

Age of Original Construction: Despite meticulous restoration and a 1991 addition, the core structure dates back to 1930, which may imply ongoing maintenance considerations or potential for hidden issues typical of older homes.
Absence of Central Air Conditioning: The description highlights natural cooling elements and water features but does not explicitly mention a central air conditioning system, which could be a significant comfort concern during hot summer months in the Ojai Valley.
Recent Price Reduction: The property experienced a price reduction from an initial list price of $2.1M to $1.895M, which might suggest an initial overvaluation or extended market time, potentially impacting buyer perception.
