95 Taormina Lane is a precious cottage, the perfect retreat for someone who appreciates the beauty of nature and wants to live simply and conveniently. In the front garden, you can bask in the sun under Ojai's deep blue sky contemplating the majestic mountain view, watch quail in your yard, listen to the symphony of birdsong and try to identify the singers. In the backyard, you can garden year-round and cook up your own vegetables, looking out the kitchen window at whatever you choose to grow. Pick tangerines, passion fruit, and pomegranates from your yard. The home has been opened up with a vaulted ceiling to bathe the inside with natural light, complementing the mountain view. By car, downtown Ojai's restaurants and shops are less than 10 minutes away. Santa Barbara is about an hour away. The attractions of LA are 80 miles away. For those who love to walk, Krotona offers beautiful panoramic views, Ojai Meadows Preserve is another nice walk for dogs and humans. Take a stroll to restaurants and stores in Meiners Oaks, or walk to Vons and catch the Ojai trolley or the bus to Ventura. The bike trail is another option to ride downtown or cycle all the way to the beach in Ventura. This charming cottage in the friendly and beautiful community of Ojai is a wonderful place to call home.
