About This Home
As of September 2024This iconic 1929 Historic Spanish Revival is admired for its stately appeal, impeccable condition & placement on the Register Ventura County of Historical Places, it also falls under the Mills Act. Situated on nearly one acre, this lush property offers an 18 room, 5BR/4BA main house; a 1BR/1BA full guest house, 2 car garage and a Saloon w pool table and bar. Currently operating as a Short term rental licensed with the county. Designed by John Roine for David & Madeline Baird, who were theosophists who migrated to the valley from Canada to be apart of the theosophical center that Annie Besant was creating in the Ojai Valley and following the likes of the Spiritual leader Krishnamurti. Madeline Baird spared no expense in creating this beautiful, eclectic work of Architecture. Most of the material and decor were imported from Europe, which includes Terrazzo tiles, Stained glass windows, mahogany doors and Italian lamps. Walking the grounds one can feel its energy and love. One can enjoy the lifestyle of Ojai and the Meiners Oaks area with having chickens and corrals for livestock, currently stationed with Alpacas and plenty of gardening space to grow your own food. It's simply a must see.
