Santa Paula Single Family Residence for sale

Step into your own private sanctuary--an enchanting, secluded rural ranch where the gentle melody of birdsong greets each morning and majestic mountains beckon herds of dear and owls, hawks, and falcons just beyond your doorstep. A rare rural landscape, that's surrounded by 5000 unspoiled acres, so this extraordinary property offers boundless opportunities for exploration and tranquility. Traverse your private trails by ATV or on foot, winding past two serene creeks and ascending to breathtaking mountaintop vistas. Wander through your flourishing orchard and savor a bounty of organic fruit, including lemons, tangelos, oranges, pomegranates, avocados, pears and walnuts. The charming one-bedroom, one-bathroom cabin was thoughtfully rebuilt in 2005, preserving its character while enhancing comfort. Originally designed as a two-bedroom home, it now features an expanded deck that invites you to relax and take in the surrounding beauty. Inside, timeless details abound--from the original wood-burning fireplace dating back to circa 1915 to the elegant newer vaulted wood ceilings that create a sense of openness and light. The home is equipped with a water filtration system and reverse osmosis drinking water for modern convenience. Distinctive touches, including a striking mounted bison head and a beautiful stained-glass window, lend warmth and personality, while the bedroom offers custom-built wooden drawers for added charm and functionality. This one-of-a-kind ranch is further complemented by an expansive 3,500-square-foot barn or hangar, complete with four large roll-up doors--perfect for housing a plane, RV, your boats, or up to eight cars--and even includes one car lift but you could add more for a serious car collector. Enjoy leisurely days by your sparkling private pool, host unforgettable gatherings, or unwind beside the outdoor fire pit under a canopy of stars roasting marshmellows. Several additional outbuildings provide versatile opportunities, whether envisioned as a music studio, guest homes, ADUs, workshops, office space, or storage for farm equipment. The fully fenced and thoughtfully designed property features separate enclosures for pasture and structures, along with a solar-powered, double-gated entry that ensures both privacy and security. This is more than a property--it's a rare and remarkable lifestyle opportunity. Come experience the beauty, serenity, and endless possibilities of this exceptional ranch!
