Perched above the orchards in scenic West Moorpark's Grimes Canyon, this 18.63-acre ranch blends a beautifully updated hilltop home with a productive, diversified grove--an ideal match for the owner-user, weekend ranch buyer, or agricultural investor. The property features approximately 12 acres of Hass avocados, 4.25 acres of mandarins, and 1 acre of lemons, offering strong long-term potential and the classic Ventura County ranch lifestyle. At the end of an all-weather ranch road, the 1,800 sq. ft. residence (originally built in 1976 and completely refurbished in 2023) sits at the top of the hill in a classic barn-style design, complemented by modern shade coverings that enhance comfort and outdoor living. Inside, the home carries a warm farmhouse-inspired style with beamed ceilings, vinyl plank flooring, quartz countertops, and a large center island perfect for gathering. The layout includes 2 bedrooms + 2.5 bathrooms, with both bedrooms offering private en-suite baths. The kitchen is equipped with an electric oven and propane range, and the home is upgraded for efficiency with a tankless water heater and four mini-split A/C units for zoned comfort. Outside, enjoy manicured gardens and a covered porch that captures commanding views of the surrounding orchards and the Los Padres Mountains--a front-row seat to sunsets, open skies, and rural tranquility. A shared agricultural well with two neighboring parcels helps keep farming costs reasonable, supporting the property's continued agricultural use. All of this, just minutes to Moorpark shopping, dining, and everyday amenities, with easy access to the greater Ventura County corridor. Buyer to verify crop acreage, production history, water/well agreements, and all intended uses.
