From the moment you enter the gates to this idyllic property you are transported to the heart of Provence.
The long, tree-lined driveway leads to a sun-kissed villa, nestled in the hillside, overlooking approximately 7 acres of picturesque orchards and meadows, with stunning mountain views in every direction.
Inside, the home reflects the sophisticated, worldly style of its owner. Rich materials and traditional textures and techniques have been used throughout the décor. The floors are marble, slate, hardwood and characteristic tile. Nearly every wall has been painted or glazed with Mediterranean flair, to glowing effect. The skylights, which illuminate the soaring, two-story foyer, are in stained glass.
This is the perfect home for a large family - there are 6 bedrooms, including a magnificent and luxurious master suite, and 4.5 baths. It is also a home designed for entertaining. High ceilings and grand proportions create a sense of space. 4 fireplaces provide warmth and ambiance. Rooms flow into each other and out to the terraces and gardens beyond. And there is a wonderful, gourmet kitchen for formal catering and casual gatherings.
An extraordinary property, with permission for use as a country inn, located in the prestigious estate area of Upper Ojai.
