Ojai's Most Secluded Luxury Villa

THE SETTING

Secluded by Design

Ojai Mountain Ridge is a private villa rental located 90 minutes from Los Angeles and 45 minutes from Santa Barbara, set at 3,000 feet on a 40-acre ridge in Ventura County's Upper Ojai wine country. The estate offers complete privacy — gated access, no nearby homes. From the terrace, you'll see vineyard slopes, Lake Casitas, and the Pacific Ocean.

Tucked high above the valley floor, this view rivals any national park. Wake up to golden ridgelines and set out right from your door onto one of Ojai's most scenic hiking and mountain biking trails. Wild beauty, total quiet, and no crowds. This is one of the most secluded luxury vacation rentals in Southern California. Learn the story behind it.

THE VILLA 

Ojai Luxury Mountain Retreat

The villa blends Mediterranean architecture with California ease. Four bedrooms sleep up to ten guests. Designed interiors, multiple outdoor patios, and an EV charger make this ideal for the modern traveler. The layout is open and oriented toward the view. A fully stacked chef's kitchen, outdoor dining area, and spacious living room make this perfect for family gatherings, couples' weekends, or extended stays. Pet-friendly too — well-behaved dogs are welcome on the mountain.

If you're looking for a design-forward vacation rental near LA with space to breathe, this is it. A private helipad is available on the property for guests arriving by charter — contact us in advance to coordinate.

THE EXPERIENCE

Do Everything or Nothing at All

The estate is designed for slow living. Spend the day outside—hike the Sulphur Mountain trails or book a riding lesson at the nearby Peppercorn Ranch. Mornings begin with spectacular sunrises; evenings are quiet, with gorgeous sunsets, outdoor dining, and a hot tub under the stars. 

There’s plenty to do without ever leaving the mountain: cook dinner, play board games, or enjoy a private wine tasting at Ojai Mountain. Not sure when to visit? Our seasonal guide breaks down what to expect throughout the year.

Private Wine Tastings at Ojai Mountain

Your tasting is guided by a knowledgeable sommelier who will walk you through each pour, share insights into the varietals, and tell the story behind every bottle. $100 per guest. Two hours. Whether you're a seasoned collector or simply curious, this intimate experience is a guest favorite.
