Description

Discover a one-of-a-kind property in Ojai's highly desirable East End. A rare offering full of character, comfort, and creative flexibility. Whether you're seeking a private retreat, a multi-generational compound, or a versatile live-work space, this special property is brimming with possibilities. More than just a retreat, this is a true piece of Ojai history. One of the first homes ever built on Garst Lane, it was home to the Garst family, for whom the private lane is named. Originally known as the Topa Topa Lodge, the log-style structures were built to resemble the Bright Angel Lodge of the Grand Canyon and served as a tranquil escape beneath the iconic Topa Topa Mountains. That same spirit of serenity and creativity lives on today, woven into the property's thoughtful layout and timeless energy. The property features a two-bedroom, two-bath historic split-log main house with vaulted ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, beautiful wood flooring, curated artistic details, and a spacious galley kitchen with generous cabinetry. A welcoming den and a charming basement wine cellar enhance the home's warmth and character. Two detached guest cottages offer privacy and flexibility. The front cottage is a two-bedroom, one-bath unit with a private patio. The rear cottage is a studio-style retreat with a bathroom, kitchenette, and fenced outdoor area. A separate laundry room and outdoor shower offer extra functionality for guests or extended stays. For those working from home or in creative fields, the detached office features two dedicated workspaces and a professionally designed 4' x 10' sound isolation booth, perfect for podcasters, musicians, or digital creators. The adjacent 2 car garage adds useful storage or workshop potential.Outdoors, enjoy shaded mature landscaping and a fully fenced backyard designed for relaxation or entertaining. Complete with a custom stone pool and waterfall, hot tub, fire pit, and a spacious courtyard parking area accommodating up to ten cars. This property has hosted intimate weddings, retreats, family gatherings, and creative workshops. A truly versatile space with a rich history in one of Ojai's most coveted neighborhoods.
