A truly rare offering in Ojai’s coveted Hermitage Ranch, this exceptional estate evokes the charm and tranquility of the legendary San Ysidro Ranch—where John and Jackie Kennedy famously honeymooned. If you've ever dreamed of owning a private retreat with that same timeless elegance, this is your chance. Extensively remodeled and nestled within a gated enclave, the residence is surrounded by peaceful ponds, meandering creeks, and miles of picturesque trails perfect for horseback riding or hiking. Inspired by classic California ranch design, the home features a stunning stone veranda with retractable screens, creating a year-round indoor-outdoor sanctuary reminiscent of a five-star resort. The property is a haven for equestrians, complete with a covered 75 foot diameter round pen with lights and fan, riding arena, stalls, and open pasture framed by views of the surrounding landscape. The primary suite offers a serene escape with vistas of a seasonal creek, stone bridge, and majestic heritage oaks. Each additional bedroom opens to its own private terrace, inviting nature and light into every corner. Set on 42 acres of income-producing avocado and citrus groves that border State Park land, the estate offers not only seclusion and beauty but a rare connection to nature—where deer and other wildlife roam freely through the orchards. The charming chicken coup filled with hens will be supplying you with fresh eggs every morning and your avocado trees will make you a favorite among your friends! Lush, mature landscaping envelopes the home and a spacious three-car garage with loft, completes this extraordinary country retreat.
