817 Del Oro Dr Ojai, CA 93023

A timeless farmhouse sits on an acre of land against the mountains, where an unobstructed view, towering sycamores, and a profound sense of peace welcome you home. Designed by Ojai's beloved architect Zelma Wilson, craftsman details and farmhouse warmth anchor this handsome home at the top of the coveted Del Oro circle.Inside, a high-ceilinged foyer opens the home in every direction. Straight ahead, the formal living room is anchored by a magnificent, nearly two-story fireplace and connected to a gracious dining room. To the left, a chef's kitchen -- appointed with a Wolf range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, stone countertops, and walk-in pantry -- shares the space with an inviting family room. To the right, a spacious fifth bedroom offers maximal versatility on the main floor, complete with its own fireplace and screened porch. Upstairs, four ample bedrooms and a primary suite offer sweeping mountain views. Outside, the property has been transformed with intention. New flagstone hardscape and lavender-lined decomposed granite pathways wind through a landscape of California natives -- ceanothus, manzanita, sage varietals, and succulents. A veritable orchard rounds it all out, bearing Hass and Reed avocados, Meyer lemon, Australian finger lime, Cara Cara and blood oranges, Pixie mandarins, Ruby Red grapefruit, Black Mission figs, and Asian pear. Rooftop solar and two Tesla batteries provide an extra layer of efficiency and security. Gazing toward the mountains, the pool and spa are an utterly romantic gathering place and the beginning of great things to come. The stone deck opens to an exceedingly usable, as yet undeveloped portion of the parcel -- ideally configured for a pool house, ADU, pickleball court, garden, barn, or all of the above. This exceptional home is fully appointed, and remains full of possibility.
