About This Home
Own your very own El Roblar at Chuhuichupa Ranch!! An extraordinary estate where heritage oaks, open skies, and natural beauty define the landscape. Spanning 18.34 acres across five legal parcels, this rare property combines exceptional privacy with remarkable flexibility. Two beautiful one-acre residential parcels on the lower grounds present prime opportunities for guest homes, expanded living, or a multi-generational compound. Ideal for a secluded family retreat or a long-term investment with development potential. Privately situated at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, a graceful eucalyptus-lined drive leads to a custom built residence framed by sweeping conservation land. Though it feels worlds away, the property is just one mile from downtown Ojai, offering a rare blend of seclusion and convenience. From the upper portion of the ranch, enjoy direct access to the beloved Shelf Road Trailhead, with miles of scenic foothill hiking right out your back door. The 3,658-square-foot Spanish Revival home is rich in warmth and architectural character. Rare, locally sourced materials include Big Sur jade fireplaces, Ojai-grown Chinese elm flooring and cabinetry, and handcrafted RTK tile at the entry and stairway. Each of the four upstairs bedrooms opens to its own deck overlooking the oak grove. Updates include newer appliances, copper plumbing, updated electrical, remodeled bathrooms (including an ADA-accessible bath), and custom ironwork. A gated courtyard offers a gracious arrival, while a private viewing deck above the garage captures sweeping views and abundant wildlife. Inside, arched passageways open to inviting living spaces with hardwood finishes, artisan stonework, and exposed beams. In the den, a striking 22-foot beam reclaimed from Thor Heyerdahl's Kon-Tiki II raft serves as a distinctive focal point. An array of outbuildings on the property include a large separate rock garage, workshops, barn-style structures, great for equestrian pursuits, livestock, creative studios, or hobbies. Whether envisioned as an entertainer's estate, a private sanctuary, or a legacy property for generations to come, Chuhuichupa Ranch offers a truly exceptional opportunity in the heart of Ojai!
