This rare, historical 1933 Austen Pierpont Estate is totally private and has stunning unobstructed views of surrounding mountains and woodland. The spacious 2.5 acre compound includes  the only Monterey Style home in Ojai, 8 bedrooms, 6½ bathrooms and a total living space of 6000 sq. ft. There is a main house, 2 guesthouses, a pool, spa, a tennis court and a tennis cabana. The property is zoned for horses and is a stone's throw away from the five star Ojai Valley Inn and Spa which includes a championship golf course, four restaurants and a world class spa.

 

Entering through grounds from a private road, through the long, gated driveway immediately invokes a feeling of Southern France, with rock walls, stone pathways, fountains, mature oaks, and lush gardens. There are lavender beds, olive and citrus trees and several large outdoor living spaces.

 

In the main house, each interior space opens to a corresponding outdoor space. A wood-paneled living room and a family room with a fireplace both open to a shady family courtyard with outdoor kitchen. A large, completely renovated modern kitchen has an adjacent dining room and access to an outdoor, covered sitting area adjacent to the pool. The primary bedroom suite opens through multiple French doors to wood-floored verandas that run the length of the house and overlook the surroundings. On the primary suite level, there are two additional bedrooms with en suite bathrooms and veranda access. Throughout the house are beautiful wood accents, wood corridors, and wood floors which bring an organic warmth to the environment. Includes guest room with porch, a library, wine closet, maid quarters with bathroom, laundry room and desk area.

 

A 2 bedroom guest house off the kitchen has a private porch and bathroom. A larger, two story guest house with 2 bedrooms has a pergola-covered porch open to the lavender garden and beautiful views of the grounds and the mountains. Both guest houses have been completely remodeled recently. The completely private pool area has a large, gorgeous pool with custom tile and hand-laid stone coping, a brand new spa, a fireplace and ample lounging areas. Adjacent is a refinished tennis court with cabana that has been frequently used for the Ojai Tennis Tournament.

 

While the estate has been restored back to its original condition aesthetically, it has also been completely modernized with all new infrastructure and utilities. Plumbing, electrical, irrigation and HVAC systems have all been upgraded. There is a new gate and new alarm system.

 

This historical estate, which combines an ideal natural setting with classic architecture, has been lovingly updated and restored to create a truly beautiful Ojai living experience. Access to the beauty of the outdoors is complemented by spacious interiors, fine finishes, and elegant design, making every moment spent there feel rich and peaceful.
