Experience the romance of Tuscany in the heart of the renowned Ojai Valley at this extraordinary Mediterranean estate in Saddle Mountain. Privately situated behind a remote gated entrance on approximately 4.65 pristine acres, this remarkable estate was thoughtfully designed by acclaimed architect Marc Whitman, celebrated for creating some of Ojai's most iconic luxury residences and offers timeless craftsmanship, privacy, and breathtaking mountain views. Built in 2003 as a forever family estate, the approximately 6,421-square-foot home features 4 ensuite bedrooms, 51/2 baths, six fireplaces, and an elegant blend of grandeur and warmth. A dramatic 14-foot leaded and wrought-iron entry door opens to soaring 10- to 25-foot ceilings, rich cherry wood finishes and gleaming hardwood floors. At the heart of the residence is a breathtaking living space anchored by a truly one-of-a-kind ceramic fireplace surround, handcrafted with intricate trumpet vine detailing. Approx. 400 sq ft chef's kitchen is designed for both entertaining and everyday living, featuring custom maple cabinetry, granite and tile finishes, slate flooring, a large center island, expansive walk-in pantry, butler's pantry, additional storage room, and premium Viking and Sub-Zero stainless-steel appliances, including three ovens, a microwave, and wine refrigerator. The formal dining room offers an elegant setting including a table and 10 chairs for large-scale entertaining. Each bedroom includes an ensuite bath and spacious walk-in closet. The upstairs primary suite serves as a private retreat with a spa-inspired bath, dual walk-in closets, a pass-through fireplace, sitting room, and expansive balcony overlooking the infinity-edge pool and surrounding mountains. Designed to embrace Southern California's coveted indoor-outdoor lifestyle, the grounds feature an infinity pool and spa, outdoor kitchen, and a covered patio with a wood-burning fireplace. Horse zoning and direct access to adjacent riding trails add to the property's appeal. Additional amenities include an approximately 888-square-foot three-car garage, a separate approximately 220-square-foot workshop, three-zone HVAC, and two dedicated solar systems--one for the home and one for the pool. Private, prestigious, and unforgettable, this remarkable estate captures the essence of a Tuscan retreat while offering a rare opportunity to enjoy luxury living in one of Southern California's most sought-after destinations.
