Ojai, CA 93023

A truly rare opportunity inside the prestigious, gated, and historic Hermitage Ranch. The moment you enter this exceptional 47-acre estate, you feel the serenity and seclusion that make this property so special. This is a true retreat, a resort-like setting with two large homes, both perfectly positioned to take in the sweeping mountain and valley views that make Ojai such a magical place. The main house (2835 Hermitage) is 4466sqft 5bd/5ba and the guest house (2833 Hermitage) is 2396sft 3bd 3ba. The possibilities here are endless. There is an almost two-acre pad that could accommodate a professional-level equestrian facility, tennis or pickleball courts, or whatever vision you have for creating your dream compound. The property, which falls under the Williamson Act, is a perfect wedding venue and since it is not within the city limits of Ojai is governed by Ventura County rules as to other short term rental uses. Buyers should verify all potential uses directly with the County. A seasonal stream winds through the land, adding to the charm and peacefulness of the setting. Perched at the top of the private, 500-acre Hermitage Ranch, the main villa feels timeless and romantic, beautifully upgraded, thoughtfully maintained, and truly in immaculate condition. The photos are stunning, but seeing this property in person is absolutely breathtaking. Outdoor living is exceptional here, with expansive covered patios, an inviting outdoor kitchen, and a gorgeous pool area designed for entertaining or relaxing. There is also a detached workout studio, perfect for yoga, fitness, or quiet retreat time. You’re surrounded by lush avocado and citrus orchards, and the property includes 10 acres of avocado trees and 1.5 acres of Golden Nuggets. Residents enjoy direct access to extensive hiking trails leading into the Los Padres National Forest, truly a dream for nature lovers. A charming guest house, crafted with the same attention to detail as the main residence, adds even more flexibility and charm. Bordering State Park land, it’s common to see deer wandering through the orchards, adding to the peaceful, natural beauty of the setting. This is truly a piece of paradise tucked in the heart of the Ojai Valley. Ojai was just named one of the 11 Most Idyllic Small Towns in California by World Atlas and this property embodies exactly why. Don’t miss this one-of-a-kind opportunity to own an extraordinary estate that could offer significant tax advantages (check with CPA).
