About This Home

Magnificent Ojai estate nestled on approximately 3.8± acres, offering sweeping views of the Topa Topas, masterfully merges timeless old-world aesthetics with contemporary California artistry. This exquisite Mediterranean-style residence—designed by acclaimed architect Marc Whitman—is a rare offering that combines privacy, elegance, and craftsmanship at the highest level. Curved lines, arched doorways, and cathedral ceilings set a tone of quiet grandeur. Inside, every detail has been meticulously curated—from solid walnut flooring and bespoke cabinetry to imported Spanish tiles, hand-forged chandeliers, and custom windows and hardware. The expansive living room, featuring multiple seating areas, a fireplace, and French doors, opens to a private library and a sunlit patio, perfect for indoor-outdoor living. The gourmet kitchen, with top-tier appliances and panoramic views, is both a culinary haven and a gathering place. The primary suite is a sanctuary with two sitting areas, a fireplace, double doors to a private terrace, stunning mountain vistas, generous closets, and a spa-inspired bathroom. Three guest bedrooms, each with ensuite bathrooms and access to patios and gardens, offer ultimate comfort and privacy. A fifth bedroom occupies the top level-complete with a loft, fireplace, and two balconies-ideally suited for an office, studio, guest retreat, or live-in support. With multiple bedroom suites and separate living zones, the estate offers exceptional flexibility for multi-generational living or those seeking refined personal space. The top-level suite also serves as a unique option for a private executive office or creative retreat. Seamless transitions from the interior to the outdoors-through French doors and strategically placed terraces-extend the living experience to sunlit decks, lush gardens, and an inviting pool area. Whether envisioned as a full-time residence, a luxurious second home, or a legacy investment, this estate is a rare opportunity to own an architectural masterpiece in one of Ojai's most exclusive enclaves.
