About this home
Custom built home 1964 Home with Separate Living Quarters, Fruit Orchard, and Peekaboo Ocean Views
Located in the Highly Sought-After ''Ondulando'' Community.
This 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom, 2,598 sq ft custom-built home sits on an impressive 16,988 sq ft lot with a huge rv/boat acess parking, and has been lovingly owned by the original family since it was completed in October 1964. Timeless charm, thoughtful updates, and self-sufficient features make this a rare find.
The lower level features a private guest suite with its own entrance, 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, full kitchen, laundry area, and a spacious living room. Great rental potential, or multi-generational living. While the lower kitchen was a recent conversion, all other upgrades are up to current city code.
Perched on a gentle slope, the property enjoys peekaboo views of the Pacific Ocean and is surrounded by lush landscaping and mature trees. The yard was once home to over 100 fruit-bearing trees, and many still thrive today—including Bacon and Haas avocados, seedless lime, tangerine, Valencia and navel oranges, lemons, persimmons, pomegranates, peaches, apricots, Santa Rosa plums, and Granny Smith apples—with multiple trees of each variety.
The grounds also feature stately magnolia trees for shade and aesthetics, a drip irrigation system for the upper orchard (manual), and an automated irrigation system in the lower yard. A well-built chicken coop made from old-growth redwood sits at the top of the property—virtually rot-proof and built to last ..Fresh eggs, anyone? Plenty of storage in the spacious backyard shed.
Notable recent upgrades include:
• New roof (2 years ago)
• New central heating system with new ductwork
• New attic insulation
• Replaced cast iron drain pipes
• All popcorn ceilings removed
• New interior and exterior paint throughout
• Completely remodeled kitchen and lower bathroom
Additional features: water conditioning system, custom finishes, and a sense of pride that only comes from a home passed down through generations.
This one-of-a-kind property blends history, charm, versatility, and location—all in Ventura's prestigious ''Ondulando'' community. Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a piece of Ventura's legacy.
