This secluded 1919 farmhouse estate was transformed by professional landscape design into a botanical oasis nestled on 8/10's of an acre bordering a lemon orchard. Enter through the security gates and cross the Koi ponds to access this home's grand front porch. You are welcomed into the stately entry with a cascading antique staircase, classic crown molding and 24' baseboards. Top quality craftsmanship continues into the living room, library and dining room, all with pocket doors you can close off for privacy. The formal dining room is complete with a built-in China closet and French doors leading to a patio shaded by lush mulberry trees. The country kitchen boasts a butler's pantry for vintage charm, and opens to a modern family room with a wet bar. Upstairs you will find four sizable bedrooms, a loft, more built-in cabinets and access to an enormous, finished attic with two windows and a skylight. You'll enjoy endless mountain and orchard views from the back balcony overlooking land that's protected by Ventura County's SOAR initiative. The full basement has redwood paneling and wine racks for over 700 bottles! Stroll the lushly landscaped yard and gardens with pool and spa, a 4-car garage, several water features, firepit, gazebos, built-in BBQ and organic garden beds. Experience nature's bounty with numerous varieties of roses, plus pomegranates, avocados, figs, lemons, oranges, bananas, walnuts, grapes, persimmons, apples, cherries and more. Two private guest quarters are great for multigenerational living and extra home office space. Just 10 minutes away from downtown Ventura, this residence offers a rare opportunity for the rural lifestyle you've always dreamed of!
