Prime Ojai Location & Privacy: Tucked away on the East End of Ojai, this quiet family compound offers a desirable location with mountain views and a strong sense of seclusion.

Cons

Age of Original Construction & Systems: Built in 1953, while remodeled, the description does not explicitly detail updates to major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC), which could lead to unforeseen maintenance or upgrade costs associated with an older core structure.
High Maintenance Requirements: The extensive property, encompassing three residences, a pool, elaborate landscaping, and equestrian facilities, implies significant ongoing maintenance costs and time commitment for the owner.
Niche Market Appeal: The unique configuration as a 'family compound' with equestrian amenities, while a strength for some, targets a specific buyer demographic, potentially leading to a longer sales cycle or fewer competitive offers.
