This luxury residence is being offered for the first time in 21 years. Set on approximately two private acres within an exclusive gated enclave of just four residences, this exceptional Santa Paula estate offers a rare combination of privacy, usability, and natural beauty. Surrounded by protected greenbelt and open agricultural land rather than dense neighborhood development, the property enjoys remarkable seclusion where the night sky shines brilliantly and the only lights are the stars.

The grounds operate as a true gentleman's ranch, featuring a substantial orchard of mature avocado trees supported by a dedicated irrigation system and city water service. A rare and valuable combination that allows the land to thrive while maintaining modern convenience. In addition to the avocado grove, the property offers a diverse collection of fruit trees and vines including apples, citrus, stone fruit, cherimoya, berries, grapes, and persimmon, creating an environment well suited for sustainable, farm-to-table living. Originally built as a single-story ranch residence and thoughtfully expanded over time, the home offers a flexible layout ideal for multigenerational living, including two primary bedroom suites and generous living spaces designed for both comfort and connection.

The heart of the home is a beautifully custom-designed gourmet kitchen featuring premium Thermador appliances, including a professional-grade gas range, speed oven, and thoughtfully appointed coffee station. Custom cabinetry and refined finishes complement the space, while the seamless open-concept design allows effortless flow from the formal dining room into the kitchen and adjoining family room. encouraging connection and making the home ideal for both everyday living and gracious entertaining.
