About This Home
Set within the coveted enclave of Persimmon Hill, 291 Saddle Lane is a private 3.8-acre retreat that embodies contemporary elegance and refined country living. Fully reimagined in 2017, this sophisticated ranch estate combines serene natural beauty with polished, high-functioning design--offering sweeping mountain vistas just minutes from downtown Ojai. At the heart of the residence is a professionally appointed kitchen, anchored by a dramatic Carrara marble island and a 48-inch BlueStar commercial range--an exceptional space for culinary artistry and social gatherings. Dual primary suites, each with spa-inspired en suite baths and expansive walk-in closets, provide versatility and discretion for hosting or multi-generational living. Enhancing the estate's resort-like appeal are a private, state-of-the-art screening room for 11+, a dedicated gym with stretch floor and ballet bar, a signature putting green, and a 620-square-foot music studio--each curated for leisure and lifestyle. A 780-square-foot, two-bedroom ADU offers additional accommodations with equal attention to design and comfort, while an attached five-car garage--fully finished--adds both practicality and presence. Beyond the interiors, the property features a private water well, a barn, and fenced horse pasture--ideal for equestrian use or tailored expansion. This estate is a rare offering: a secluded, amenity-rich sanctuary designed for those seeking privacy, elegance, and a true sense of place--nestled against a backdrop of Ojai's serene mountain ridgelines and just minutes from the village center.
