Rancho Del Oso - A Historic Ojai RetreatDiscover one of Ojai's most storied properties, hidden away on 10 private acres in the Upper Valley beneath the Topa Topa Mountains. Built in 1939 as a resort retreat for Hollywood's elite, this stone-clad lodge and original guest cabin offer a blend of history, craftsmanship, and natural beauty rarely found today.Inside, approximately 4,000 sq. ft. of living space features soaring glass doors, a star-view ceiling, hand-cut stone fireplaces, and original 1940s painted details. Expansive windows frame lush gardens, oak-studded hillsides, and a spring-fed pond.The grounds are equally captivating, wander rambling stone paths to the lake size pool filled by fresh spring water and grotto, host gatherings by the pizza pit, or relax beneath the rock arch entrance as the famous Pink Moment'' sunset lights up the mountains.Secluded yet convenient, Rancho Del Oso is just 15/20 minutes to downtown Ojai, 30 minutes to Ventura's beaches, and under 90 minutes to Los Angeles. First time offered in over 50 years this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a true Ojai landmark.
