Tucked away in a private canyon a short drive from downtown Ojai, you will find a historical homestead site from the 1800s. The property offers a bit of natural paradise, a Bavarian style mountain chalet with a year round flowing stream from an uphill artesian spring. Overlooking the North Fork of Matilija Creek, this is truly a get away to the serenity of rushing waters and birdsong. The custom built home offers oak flooring throughout, 2 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and additional living space in a converted garage studio. Built in Bavarian style, one enters a ground floor bedroom with full bath, and doors that open to a deck overlooking the creek below. The 2nd floor living space includes the kitchen and dining area, and another deck to enjoy nature's beauty. A stairway leads to the top floor loft bedroom. Outside you will find a concrete patio with goldfish pond, and above a large koi pond, as well as several picnic areas. The one hundred year old stone walls add to the quaintness. For those who enjoy hiking, this is your property. It is enclosed within the Los Padres National Forest with ample areas for exploration. This property holds a lot of history and is truly one of a kind. You must see it to believe it.
