An extraordinary country estate with two beautiful homes, both with spectacular mountain and valley views, on 47 idyllic acres, in one of Ojai's most private and desirable enclaves. Hermitage Ranch. The main house captures all the romance of an Italian hilltop villa. Cypress and olive tree lined drive, thick stucco walls, Venetian, 'sun dappled' plaster, hand-made wrought iron fixtures, flower-filled balconies and interior shutters create a timeless, European aesthetic in a home that perfectly blends the past with the present. Designed as much for outdoor living as for in, the magnificent great-room opens through a bank of French doors, to a covered loggia, pool and entertaining area and the most expansive and magical views of the Ojai valley.

Supplements: If you have ever dreamed of living in Tuscany, this is the house for you! The secondary residence is an absolutely stunning, 2400 sf conversion of a barn. It is located some distance from the main house and has its own address, so this building offers tremendous flexibility of use. Currently a full time, 3 bedroom home, as part of a family compound, it could become an exceptional guest house, substantial office space, or an art or music studio. Tangerine and avocado orchards surround the two homes. There is a corral and tack room with suitable land for a horse paddock. And the property has private access to miles of trails in the Los Padres National Forest. It is heaven! Hermitage Ranch is a peaceful, secret paradise, hidden away from the real world yet just minutes from downtown Ojai- one of America's best places to live!
