(Undisclosed Address), Ojai, CA 93023

This super-private home in Ojai's coveted Taormina historic neighborhood sits within a serene garden of pure delight. It's a fruit tree-filled (tangerines, Meyer lemon, Valencia orange, avocado, persimmon, apple, nectarine) zen oasis embraced by custom Ojai rock walls and tiered succulent gardens - all enclosed within a privacy fence. The charming garden supports outdoor living and dining areas. A quaint Saltillo tile shaded lanai off the living room offers the perfect spot to meditate, create or just be. Inside you'll find an open-flow floor plan (living room, dining area and kitchen) that offers hardwood floors, a real wood-burning fire place, central heat and central air conditioning. The interior is freshly painted. Bedroom has newly-installed Berber carpet and and has two large windows with plantation shutters that look out into the garden. The bright second 'bedroom' (quotes around it as it has no closet) is an appx. 200 sq foot bonus room with heat and air ducted into it. It makes an ideal office/art studio/guest room. It has two large, windows that face the rock-terraced garden and it has a door to the backyard. ( VIDEO WALK THROUGH OF GARDEN AND INTERIOR AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST). Just steps outside the front door, you'll find the Ojai Meadows Preserve, a restored wetlands wonderland traversed by both flat and hilly trails. A short walk up Taormina Lane takes you through a private gate, up a set of stairs into a lush meditation garden at the Krotona Institute of Theosophy, an international center of spirituality and a showpiece of 1920s Spanish Colonial Revival architecture. Hop on your bike and hit the nearby Ojai-Ventura Bike Path for a ten-minute pedal into downtown where you'll enjoy an assortment of restaurants and shops, yoga studios, art galleries, pickle ball and tennis courts, world-famous spas, coffee shops and Ojai's own outdoor amphitheater concert venue: the Libbey Bowl.
