305 S Ventura Street, Ojai, Residential

A Half-Acre of Ojai Magic Where Possibility Grows on TreesTucked into one of Ojai’s most sought-after pockets, this half-acre sits right in the middle of it all just moments from the heart of town, with shops, dining, and everything Ojai is loved for close at hand. Step onto the land and you’re greeted by nine flourishing Spanish olive trees, a gorgeous heritage oak standing sentinel, and rich, fertile soil excellent for planting. An award-winning, green-living 359 sq. ft. tiny home lovingly crafted from reclaimed wood and steel out of Texas set on a solid foundation. The living space is cozy, bright and inviting and spills out across 800 square feet of exterior decking, the kind of space made for morning coffee, golden-hour dinners, and stargazing you’ll never tire of. The 1936, 796 sq. ft barn, turned has been creatively turned inside out. Its original wood and metal now form a storybook facade, while inside you’ll find modern, drywalled, insulated space with AC, heat, perfect as a place for entertaining, a modern garage or an incredible permitted workshop space for any crafty or creative type. A free floating door welcomes everyone onto the land, an “ohhi” sign lights the night with whimsy. And a three sided fully constructed fence with cement base and wooden horizontal planks proscienuim arches in the half an acre, awaiting whatever “4th wall” such as ficcus trees to give you full privacy.This land is seeking visionaries who have clear understanding of its full potential. The previous owners already worked with the city through the first two rounds of a lot split, leaving just one round for you to finish (leaving it as an option for the new owner). Keep it as one grand lot for your dream home, complete with a pool, detachable ADUs, and manicured lawns dotted with fruit trees. Or divide it, create up to three structures per lot, and build one to live in while you rent or sell the other income, legacy, or both.
