You will love the hand stacked stone walls, original hardware & fixtures, diamond-paned windows that frame picturesque views of the mountains, handmade gates, updated kitchen and pantry featuring White Oak cabinetry and Thermador appliances, 2 fireplaces, Limestone flooring, and exposed wood beamed ceilings. Entertaining is easy with multiple patios accessed by numerous sets of French doors, creating a seamless flow from indoor to outdoor. Or retreat to the spacious primary bedroom suite that has an abundance of windows, a fireplace, remodeled spa-like bathroom and french doors leading out to the gardens. The property is truly magical where the Heritage Oak trees and the extensive organic family orchard (Peaches, Plums, Avocados, Guava, Apples, Lemons, Oranges, Golden Nugget Tangerine, Cherries, Apricots, Pomegranates and Persimmons) work in harmony to create a private sanctuary that nourishes the soul! Enjoy your morning coffee while meandering through the grounds or head to Farmers Market before meeting a friend for lunch at the Dutchess~life is always better when you're in Ojai! Don't miss your chance to own this timeless treasure where every detail whispers the charm of a bygone era. The Gatehouse is a rare opportunity~ do not let it slip away!
