About this home
Set in the serene hills of Upper Ojai, this exceptional 3.6-acre parcel offers a rare opportunity to create a private retreat surrounded by nature's beauty. With two distinct buildable sites, the property invites a thoughtful vision--whether a primary residence, guest home, or a carefully designed compound that embraces the landscape. Expansive views stretch across the iconic Topa Topa Mountains and Sulphur Mountain, delivering a constantly evolving backdrop of light, color, and seasonal change. The setting is remarkably quiet and secluded, offering a true sense of escape and privacy, yet just a short 12-minute drive to the charm, dining, and culture of downtown Ojai. Previously home to a residence, the property benefits from existing infrastructure, offering a meaningful head start for those ready to bring their vision to life. This is a place where architecture and nature can come together seamlessly--where mornings begin with golden mountain light and evenings settle into peaceful stillness under open skies. A rare canvas to build something truly special, in one of Ojai's most sought-after and inspiring locations.
