Residents enjoy private equestrian and pedestrian trail access leading directly to the Los Padres National Forest, the Ventura River, and private neighborhood walking paths.From its vantage point, the home boasts breathtaking views of the Ojai Valley and the majestic Topa Topa Mountains, renowned for the mesmerizing Pink Momenta fleeting period just before sunset when the mountains are bathed in a soft, rosy glow, casting an ethereal ambiance over the valley. The residence features five spacious bedrooms and five bathrooms. The second-floor bedrooms are adorned with brand-new, natural all-wool carpeting, enhancing comfort and elegance.
