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 property's proximity to Lake Casitas less than ten minutes away offers recreational opportunities, including a water park. Historic downtown Ojai, with its charming boutiques, art galleries, and renowned dining establishments, is just minutes away. The area is also home to esteemed private schools.Coastal communities such as Ventura and Carpinteria are a mere thirty-minute drive, while Santa Barbara is accessible within 45 minutes, and Los Angeles in under two hours.This property presents a rare opportunity to immerse oneself in the tranquil beauty and unique charm of Ojai's Shangri-La, a term often used to describe the valley's idyllic and almost mythical allure.
