Nestled within Rancho Matilija, one of Ojai’s most coveted gated communities, this exceptional Mediterranean-inspired estate offers an unparalleled blend of privacy, panoramic views, and quintessential California living. Set on approximately 2.01 acres of gently rolling land, the residence is thoughtfully sited to capture breathtaking vistas of the Topa Topa Mountains, Chief’s Peak, and the iconic Ojai “pink moment” sunsets — a rare and unforgettable natural enchantment. A gracious 3,492 ± sq ft floorplan built in 1991 features three bedrooms, office, multiple sitting areas, three bathrooms, and multiple living spaces designed for both relaxed family living and refined entertaining. Vaulted ceilings in the great room elevate the sense of space, while a well-appointed kitchen with generous island and granite countertops 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. 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.
