Your search for the ideal escape while remaining within close proximity to city conveniences will end at this picturesque 10-acre ranch in the rolling countryside of Ventura. Just 10 minutes from the beach and convenient to the towns of Montecito,... Carpinteria, Ventura and Ojai, the sprawling view-enriched property showcases a veritable bounty of native wildlife, towering pines, dramatic oaks and graceful willows. With avocado, fruit and citrus orchards, harvestable lavender fields, ample room for horses and farm animals, and acres of undeveloped land, the bucolic ranch is ideal for the amateur farmer, organic growers, newly retired, and entertainment artists and business leaders seeking a peaceful retreat. The property is truly pristine, with its current owners dedicating themselves to being exceptional stewards of the land and its residence, which has been featured in the pages of Ventana Monthly and Apartment Therapy. Approximately 3,000 square feet, the extra-bright and open dome-style home is bathed in natural light and features soaring ceilings, large windows, skylights, wood flooring and a dramatic floating staircase. The living room is warmed by a fireplace, and the kitchen hosts custom contemporary wood cabinetry, stone countertops, a mosaic-tile backsplash and casual dining nook. Dual glass doors provide an inviting introduction, and other first-level rooms open to outdoor patios and a newly refinished view deck. Panoramic hill, countryside and starry-night views are enjoyed from the three-bedroom, two-bath design. A long driveway leads to the exceptionally private home, where all systems have been recently inspected. Enjoy fishing and camping just up the road at Lake Casitas, or embark on a day trip to Santa Barbara, where fine dining and shopping destinations await exploration. MLS# OC25214244 Read More
