The Property

A piece of California, gently relocated.

"Originally built in Ventura in 1926 and thoughtfully relocated in sections to the peaceful and private North Forks Springs neighborhood."

Tucked away for the perfect getaway, yet about five miles from downtown Ojai, this home offers two things at once: seclusion and convenience. The cottage retains its historic character. Warm wood accents. A cozy layout. Architectural details that speak to its full past.

Outdoors, a year-round creek runs adjacent to the property, creating a tranquil setting for relaxing, entertaining, or simply being still. The expansive acreage gives space for gardening, expansion, or quietly taking in the surroundings.

The second parcel, included in the sale, opens the door to more. With its own separate access, it becomes a place for a guest house, a studio, an orchard, or simply more privacy. It is a rare offering in the highly desirable North Forks Springs community of Ojai.

The Details

What makes it singular.

The Cottage Itself

A 1926 home that did not stay where it was built. Disassembled in sections, transported, and reassembled here, with its original character intact and modern systems quietly added.

The Two Parcels

The sale includes a second legal lot with its own separate access. Build a guest house, plant an orchard, or simply enjoy the additional privacy.

The Creek

A year-round creek runs adjacent to the home, audible from the patio and visible from much of the grounds. Rare in this part of California.

The Restoration

Warm wood accents, period-appropriate detailing, and a renovated kitchen that supports the home without overwriting it. Old bones, current comforts.

North Forks Springs

One of the most quietly held neighborhoods in Ojai. Five miles from downtown, but a different climate of mind. Oak canopy, low traffic, long evenings.

The Neighborhood

Ojai, as it lives.

North Forks Springs sits in the canyon north of downtown Ojai, where the road narrows and the oak canopy thickens. About five miles to the village. About thirty minutes to the Pacific.

The pace is the reason people come. Farmers' markets on Sunday. Trail heads at the end of the block. The Ojai Valley Inn within walking distance of the village. And a sky that, at dusk, glows a particular pink only this valley produces.
