Built in 1974 (est.) by acclaimed artist and Walt Disney's most well known Production Designer, Frank Armitage (Sleeping Beauty & The Jungle Book). This Shangri-La retreat home sits on almost 10 acres with unobstructed views from multiple decks overlooking the entire Ojai Valley, portions of the upper valley and the Topa Topa mountains. Enjoy your own hiking trails and watch the pink sunsets on the Topa Topas. The main house has 2 primaries (the 2nd might also work as a large entertaining room). There is an artists room (the light is amazing) with 90 degree views of the Topa Topas and the Ojai Valley . The primary bedroom sits next to the living room and has views of the valley and a peak of Lake Casitas. The second primary bedroom is located a few feet below the artists room. The home also has a mural created by Frank Armitage, reminiscent of his time spent working with Mexican Artist Sisqoeiros. There are also two cottages on the property. One of the units was built with local riverstones and the second used to be a music studio with a full bath and kitchen (studio). As you drive down the private road through avocado and orange orchards, you are welcomed by the neighbors' ducks, sheep, goats, chickens and the occasional farm animal. Do not forget to say hi to Sweet Lillie the local Anatolian Sheepdog who lives nearby and protects the farm animals. There are amazing boulders and rolling hills all over the property. There are very few neighbors down this private road. You can even walk to your neighbors tasting room at the Ojai Olive Oil Co. Truly hard to imagine until you have experienced this amazing zen-like property. Wonderful opportunity to have as a home or turn it into an artist's retreat.
