About this home

An Ojai View Estate-Set behind the gates of Rancho Matilija, 12986 MacDonald presents a rare opportunity to own a private retreat in one of Ojai's most coveted settings. Just 90 minutes from West Los Angeles, 30 minutes from Santa Barbara, and only minutes from Lake Casitas, the property offers an effortless escape from the city without sacrificing convenience. Reached by a long private drive and bordering both the Ventura River and the Ojai Land Conservancy, the nearly three-acre estate is immersed in nature, with uninterrupted mountain vistas and front-row views of Ojai's iconic Pink Moment. Direct access to endless miles of hiking, equestrian, and mountain biking trails, along with nearby camping and outdoor recreation, creates an unmatched connection to the Ojai lifestyle. Designed to embrace its extraordinary surroundings, the residence features five bedrooms and five bathrooms, a view-oriented primary suite, a downstairs ensuite perfect for guests and in-laws, expansive living spaces, hardwood floors throughout the main living areas, travertine in the entry and kitchen, three fireplaces, a three-car garage, and EV charging. Mature olive, citrus, palm, and specimen trees frame the grounds. Whether envisioned as a full-time residence or a luxurious weekend sanctuary, this view estate offers a unique combination of privacy, recreation, natural beauty, and accessibility--placing world-class hiking, horseback riding, cycling, boating, and the vibrant restaurants, galleries, and boutiques of downtown Ojai just moments from your doorstep.
