Welcome to your Secluded Sanctuary in the exclusive Hermitage Ranch, nestled on its own 45.12 acres of natural serenity, with two ponds, a running creek and a mountaintop. First time on the market in over 30 years, this property is part of a 450 acre working avocado and citrus ranch, where numerous paths beckon you to connect with nature and immerse yourself in peaceful ranch life. The centerpiece of the property is a striking radial home, architecturally designed in the 1980s by Donald Hoppen, a student of Frank Lloyd Wright, and updated over the years. The double-decker windows frame front and rear vistas, bringing the outside in, and allowing you to feel as if you are living in a contemporary tree house. The main residence offers three bedrooms, three full bathrooms, plus a loft, across approx. 2526 sq.ft. Crafted for both comfort and entertaining, the home features vaulted ceilings, towering beams, windows galore, bamboo floors, a ceramic wood burning stove, plus an expansive trex deck for luxuriating in magical sunrises, pink moment afternoons, and glorious moonlit nights. The chef’s kitchen, with generous counter space, invites culinary exploration with a Wolf 6 burner range and 2 burner grill, double ovens, and Bosch dishwasher. The primary ensuite is its own lower level retreat, with an expansive bathroom, front patio and separate access to the back deck. Upstairs is a versatile loft, with a balcony and glorious views-ideal for an in-home office or TV room, and connects to a full bath and a second bedroom. The third bedroom and bath are near the side entry door, creating a unique multi-level layout. A separate one bedroom, one bathroom guest house of approx. 750 sq.ft. is secluded and private, perfect for visitors, extended family or rental opportunities, and adds valuable flexibility to this already extraordinary property. Plant more avocados, create a vineyard, the options are endless. The property’s two reservoirs are available for fishing, swimming, kayaking or just relaxing by the docks. Or you can hike up to the labyrinth which features stunning views of the Ojai Valley. The property is under the Williamson Act which has potential for agricultural property tax advantages; the water supply is from the Hermitage Mutual Water Company, owned collectively by the property owners in the ranch. This piece of paradise which is hidden away from most of the world is only six minutes from Ojai and provides a magical place to get away from it all.
