The rustic landscape and mountain views of Somis
Passing through Somis, it’s important to pay attention. "If you were to blink while passing by, you may miss the highlights," says Michele Gutierrez, a Realtor with Real Estate Source, Inc. This largely agricultural hub has small-town traits like roadside farm stands and flower nurseries. However, in this part of Ventura County, the rustic landscape and mountain views steal the scene. Between the groves and farmland, grand homes and admirable schools, Somis is a rural haven not too far from Oxnard.

Orchards, groves and a whole lot of land
The homes of Somis are typically priced in the millions, lavishly designed with custom architecture, from Moroccan-influenced and Georgian-style estates to villas with Mediterranean flair. As potential homebuyers explore the area, it’s common to see farms, flower nurseries, equestrian facilities and even alpaca ranches. "Somis is definitely for estate homes,” Gutierrez says. “If you own one, it's going to have orchards, groves and a lot of land." With such a large real estate span, price points increase as home space and acreage increase. Houses of over 10,000 square feet have sold for as much as $6 million, while smaller ranch-style homes with no less than 3,000 square feet go for between $1 million and $3 million.

Fresh produce and flowers supplied by local vendors
Along Los Angeles Avenue, residents can find a handful of agricultural stands and shops run by local vendors. Underwood Family Farms invites visitors to pick their own crops, from strawberries in the spring to blackberries in the summer. The farm’s animal center shelters sheep, alpacas and pygmy goats who dwell beneath the citrus trees out back. Somis Nut House is easy to miss but offers various nuts, seeds and candies. The Peterson Ranch Fruit Stand has a near-constant supply of fresh produce, flowers, homemade sauces and jams. Gutierrez says, "There's a berry farm and a little store — I heard the food there is amazing." That’s Somis Café and Market. Patrons from near and far rave about its authentic Mexican food.

Less than 5 miles from Camarillo, residents can easily partake in the city’s festivities, like Casa Pacifica Angels Wine, Food & Brew Fest held each year at California State University Channel Islands. Similarly, A Taste of Camarillo invites folks to sample wines, browse boutiques and dance to local music.
