About this property

Ojai Mountain Ridge Estate, Private Ojai Vineyard Villa

Welcome to Ojai Mountain Ridge, a high-elevation retreat set at 3,000 feet on a private 40-acre ridge with views of vineyards, Lake Casitas, and the Pacific. Designed for shared stays and celebrations, it’s ideal for family and friend gatherings. A large kitchen, dining for 12, and multiple outdoor zones invite time together, while strong Wi-Fi and work-friendly spaces suit mid-week work-from-anywhere stays. Four bedrooms sleep up to 10, with access to private wine tastings, scenic trails, and expansive views.

Thirty minutes from downtown Ojai, 90 minutes from Los Angeles, and 45 minutes from Santa Barbara, this is the quieter side of the valley. The landscape is wilder, the pace slower, and the setting genuinely restorative. Many guests spend the entire weekend on the mountain without ever needing to leave.

Mornings begin with coffee on the terrace while the light moves across the ridgeline. Hiking trails start at the front gate. A short bike ride brings you to English-style horseback riding lessons. Just down the road, our estate vineyard offers private, guided tours and curated tastings of current and library releases.

Families are very much at home here. We provide a crib, high chair, children’s dishware, and a collection of toys and games, making it easy to travel light while still feeling settled. Large outdoor spaces give kids room to explore while adults unwind.

If you’d like to shape the stay around something special, we can help arrange it. Private chefs, yoga instructors for morning flow sessions, massage therapists, and photographers are all available through trusted local partners who know the property and the rhythm of the mountain.

For guests who want time in town, Ojai offers thoughtful dining, boutique shopping, golf, and an easygoing creative energy that feels distinctly local.

The Villa
Designed in a Mediterranean style with modern American touches, the estate includes four spacious bedrooms and comfortably sleeps up to ten guests. Bed configuration is two king beds, one queen bed, two twin beds, and a queen sofa bed. The layout works equally well for couples traveling together, families, or small retreats centered on food, wine, or wellness.

• Family-friendly amenities including crib, high chair, toys, and games

House Layout
This spacious two-story home is designed for indoor-outdoor living, with generous common areas and multiple patios for gathering, lounging, and dining. Three fireplaces add warmth and comfort throughout the home, located in the living room, dining room, and the primary bedroom.

First floor
The main level features two large gathering spaces: a living room and a combined family and dining room, both opening directly to the outdoors. Each of these spaces includes a fireplace, making them equally inviting on cool evenings. The family room includes a queen-size sofa bed and connects to a patio with a 12-person outdoor dining table and gas grill, well suited for shared meals and relaxed nights.

A welcoming entry lobby leads to the kitchen and adjacent breakfast nook. Two bedrooms are located on this level. One is a primary suite with a king bed, walk-in closet, en-suite bath, and its own fireplace. The second bedroom has a queen bed and access to a full bathroom nearby. A laundry room and garage complete the lower level.

Second floor
Upstairs are two additional bedrooms. One front-facing room is furnished with a king bed. The second bedroom has two twin beds. This level includes two bathrooms: one with a shower and double sinks, and a second with a toilet and sink.

Outdoor space and arrival

Four separate patios extend the living areas in different directions: one off the living room, one off the family room, one outside the master bedroom, and one adjacent to the outdoor kitchen and grill area. Each patio offers a different way to enjoy the mountain air and panoramic views, whether for quiet mornings, shared meals, or evenings outside.

There is also an outdoor hot tub positioned for soaking under the open sky, especially enjoyable after sunset when the air cools and the stars come out.

For guests arriving by air, the property includes a helipad, allowing for direct helicopter access. This option is used occasionally by guests who value privacy and efficiency, and it adds to the sense that the estate is self-contained and removed from crowds.

An EV charger is available on site for electric vehicles.

Throughout the house, organic cleaning supplies are used, along with EWG-verified shampoo and conditioner in the bathrooms. Connectivity is reliable enough for remote work, with strong cell service and Wi-Fi throughout, though most guests find themselves spending more time outside than online.

The amenities and layout are meant to support how people actually use the space: cooking large meals, spending long hours outdoors, soaking, resting, and sharing time together without feeling crowded or rushed.

The host was very accommodating, properly managers were very responsive to any questions we had. House is very peaceful and serene, located on a quiet trail perfect for walking/hiking with dogs. A perfect property if you want to disconnect from reality and take in the ojai valley views.

About the host

Hosted by olga chernova

Host profile image
Ojai Mountain is a working organic vineyard perched high above the Pacific Ocean, where wild California beauty meets the art of winemaking. For years, we dreamed of offering others the chance to experience the peace, views, and magic that drew us here. When the neighboring estate became available, we knew it was the perfect opportunity. With its sweeping vistas, quiet elegance, and proximity to the vines, it was a natural extension of everything we love about this place.

We’ve partnered with a wonderful local host to help create an experience that’s as warm and welcoming as it is unforgettable. We look forward to sharing this remarkable corner of California with you.

ABOUT HOST:
Shannon Penrith

Hi, I’m Shannon! I’m a long-time Upper Ojai resident with a deep love for nature, animals, and the unique beauty of this valley. I spent many years working as a veterinary technician, and when I’m not welcoming guests, you might find me onstage at one of Ojai’s local theaters. I look forward to helping you experience all the magic this place has to offer.

Why they chose this property

What we enjoy most about the neighborhood is the feeling of distance without isolation. There is space, silence, and a steady rhythm to the mountain, broken only by wind, birds, and the slow shift of light. The sunsets are the anchor point of the day. As the sun drops, the colors move across the valley and out to the ocean, changing minute by minute. People tend to stop talking, pour a glass, and just watch.

There is also a calm here that guests notice quickly. Whether you think of it as a positive vortex or simply the effect of elevation, open land, and clean air, the result is the same. You feel settled, recharged, and more present. Time stretches a little. Sleep comes easier. You leave grounded in a way that is hard to explain until you experience it yourself.

What makes this property unique

The setting is expansive and quiet, the kind of place where your sense of scale resets almost immediately. From the terraces, the view opens across all of Ventura County at once. You can see the Pacific and the Channel Islands floating on the horizon, and Lake Casitas catching the light to the west, all in a single sweep. It is rare to have land, water, and sky layered so completely in one place.
