Vaulted ceilings in the great room elevate the sense of space, while a well-appointed kitchen with generous island, granite countertops, 2 dishwashers, induction stovetop, and wine fridge serves as the heart of the home. The adjacent family room and patio access create a seamless indoor-outdoor flow ideal for gatherings or quiet mornings with coffee.
The primary suite is a private retreat complete with a spacious walk-in closet and ensuite bath, and one of the additional rooms offers versatile use as a home office or den — perfect for today’s flexible lifestyle .It even has it's own cute private yard. Large windows and patio doors frame the vista and invite natural light into every corner of the home.
Outdoors, the expansive backyard is a blank canvas ready for your vision — whether you imagine a resort-style pool, lush gardens, or al fresco entertaining areas that take full advantage of the sweeping mountain views and serene setting. A private trail frontage places you directly along the community’s equestrian and walking paths, connecting you to Rancho Matilija’s natural beauty and outdoor lifestyle.
Located just minutes from downtown Ojai’s charming shops, acclaimed restaurants, and cultural attractions, as well as easy access to Ventura, Santa Barbara, and Los Angeles, this property bridges peaceful countryside living with modern convenience. Rancho Matilija’s legacy of spacious estates, wide streets, and scenic landscapes make this address truly distinctive.
