Property Description

Price history prior to 2026 reflects the sale of a separate 2-acre parcel. This luxury residence is being offered for the first time in 21 years. Set on approximately two private acres within an exclusive gated enclave of just four residences, this exceptional Santa Paula estate offers a rare combination of privacy, usability, and natural beauty. Surrounded by protected greenbelt and open agricultural land rather than dense neighborhood development, the property enjoys remarkable seclusion where the night sky shines brilliantly and the only lights are the stars.The home benefits from one of Ventura County's most desirable microclimates, shaped by surrounding mountains and open farmland that create more consistent sunshine, warmer afternoons, and mild winters without the heavy coastal fog often found closer to the ocean. These favorable conditions provide exceptional year-round growing potential while enhancing everyday comfort, natural light, and outdoor living. Evenings are peaceful and restorative, with minimal light pollution creating extraordinary stargazing from the home's elevated spaces, including the upstairs patio overlooking the orchard and surrounding mountain ranges.Santa Paula has long been regarded for its agricultural heritage, open landscapes, and relaxed lifestyle. The area's privacy and freedom once attracted notable residents such as Steve McQueen, and today it continues to offer that same rare balance of rural tranquility and accessibility. A local airport and convenient access to Ventura, Ojai, and the coast further enhance the property's appeal.The grounds operate as a true gentleman's ranch, featuring a substantial orchard of mature avocado trees supported by a dedicated irrigation system and city water service. A rare and valuable combination that allows the land to thrive while maintaining modern convenience. In addition to the avocado grove, the property offers a diverse collection of fruit trees and vines including apples, citrus, stone fruit, cherimoya, berries, grapes, and persimmon, creating an environment well suited for sustainable, farm-to-table living.Originally built as a single-story ranch residence and thoughtfully expanded over time, the home offers a flexible layout ideal for multigenerational living, including two primary bedroom suites and generous living spaces designed for both comfort and connection. Since 2004, the property has been thoughtfully modernized while preserving its warmth and character. The heart of the home is a beautifully custom-designed gourmet kitchen featuring premium Thermador appliances, including a professional-grade gas range, speed oven, and thoughtfully appointed coffee station. Custom cabinetry and refined finishes complement the space, while the seamless open-concept design allows effortless flow from the formal dining room into the kitchen and adjoining family room. encouraging connection and making the home ideal for both everyday living and gracious entertaining. Outdoor spaces unfold into a private retreat complete with a pool, expansive gathering areas, and sweeping orchard and mountain views. Professionally designed landscaping enhances the usability of the land while maintaining its natural beauty and agricultural integrity.
