Imagine 50-acres of your own mountain oasis, with hiking, horse and ATV trails exclusively for you, located 5 minutes from downtown Ojai --- considered one of Southern California's best kept secrets. This picturesque valley town, which nurtures health and wellness, arts, farming and great schools, is the perfect getaway from the hustle of city life. The farm encompasses part of the front side of a mountain in the Topa Topa range, and is part of the exclusive Hermitage neighborhood where property is rarely available. This farm estate's setting puts sweeping valley views and natural beauty at center stage. The 2014 built contemporary spanish colonial guest house overlooks the entire Ojai Valley, built on one of the knolls on the property. The main, original rustic farmhouse, previously used as an income producing rental property, needs updating, but is rentable. Hiking and ATV trails give way to a professionally managed, income producing 24 acres of Haas Avocados and an acre of Valencia Oranges, as well as a seasonal stream, abundant vegetation, and glimpses of passing wildlife along the contours of the property. Room for horses, chickens and other animals complete this natural paradise. In need of a regular mind-body recharge? Retreat to pure solitude upon your own isolated yoga platform with breathtaking views of the sprawling Ojai Valley, or head to the 5 star Ojai Valley Inn for a spa treatment and fine dining. Whether enjoyed as a private and secluded family compound or transformed into a holistic refuge, this escapist's paradise embodies Ojai's signature way of life."

Perched atop a knoll on the Topa Topa mountainside and adjacent to the exclusive Hermitage Ranch, this estate's setting puts sweeping desert views and natural beauty at center stage. Hiking and ATV trails give way to stunning vistas, abundant vegetation, and glimpses of passing wildlife along the contours of the property. There is room for horses and other animals, all within the 22 acres of fully managed, income-producing Hass Avocados which are included with this multifaceted nature haven. In need of a regular mind-body recharge? Retreat to solitude upon your own special viewpoint protruding from the mountain above the sprawling Ojai Valley. The rustic three-bedroom, two-bath main residence may be restored to a new owner's liking or entirely reimagined. And the airy, contemporary guest house built in 2014 and recently remodeled, would provide temporary quarters during renovations. Minutes from downtown Ojai, this property offers privacy and space and some of the best views in Ojai.
