313 E Villanova Rd, Ojai, CA 93023

This extraordinary 2.5-acre estate is one of Ojai's most rare and refined offerings, located in a stunning ridge-top setting within the heart of the valley. Just minutes from downtown, the Ojai Valley Inn, and Villanova School, this private hilltop retreat offers panoramic 360-degree views, unmatched privacy, and a masterfully curated renovation that blends natural beauty with elevated living. Completed in 2025, every inch of the property has been meticulously renovated inside and out, combining timeless materials with modern craftsmanship. The main residence spans 1,450 square feet and is a stunning 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath. Thoughtful details are everywhere, from the solid oak floors and cedar-lined walls and ceilings, to handcrafted porcelain towel hooks, push-button light switches, and imported European tile at the entry. The chef's kitchen features honed Brazilian quartzite countertops, all-new appliances, and tilt-and-turn windows that open to a teak wraparound deck framing iconic views of the Topa Topa mountains. Bathrooms are finished with radiant heated floors, hand-selected tile work, and custom lighting. The home also includes brand-new HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and a fire-resistant metal roof. Just beyond the main house, the 623-square-foot guest house offers a studio-style layout with cedar interiors, polished concrete floors, a full kitchen, bath, and fireplace, ideal for guests, extended stays, or creative space. The third structure, a 599-square-foot finished two-car garage, continues the design language with polished concrete floors, cedar finishes, a half bath and outdoor shower, perfect as a gym, workspace, or overflow guest suite. The land itself is a sanctuary, dotted with mature trees, sculpted landscaping, and private walking paths that weave through the property. Perched high above the valley, the ridge-line setting catches a gentle, year-round breeze, creating a perfect microclimate. A private well services the entire 2.5 acres, supplying water for all landscaping needs, while a state-of-the-art water filtration system supports all three structures. This is more than a home, it's a private, architectural retreat designed for those who appreciate privacy, beauty, and an effortless connection to nature. A property like this comes along once in a generation, a true Ojai original.
