Ventura County, CA – August 2019

Why Ventura County Misty Hall Editor California 101 Real Estate Guide mhall@ca101guide.com

Don’t argue me: Ventura County is of pretty much the County best place to live.

Thewith Humane Society Ventura Coming from a VC native, I’m sure that sounds a little biased, but there are myriad stats to prove my point.

alone, here’s a few reasons why living Ventura County life = living your best life.

It’s on numerous “Best Of” lists. The U.S. Department of Agriculture named Ventura County the most desirable place to live in America in 2015, and VC consistently comes up on the country’s “safest places to live” lists.

Whether you’re indoorsy or outdoorsy, a drinker or a thinker, artsy or agricultural, VC has you covered.

• The beaches

In Ventura County, you can camp right on the beach (Emma Wood, Hobson, Faria), hike in the mountains to secret waterfalls and swimming holes (Rose Valley, Punch Bowls), explore vast outdoor malls (The Collection, Camarillo Outlets), or even peruse a presidential library (Ronald Reagan’s, in Simi Valley).

While we can’t possibly list all of our VC loves in this article

Ventura County, CA – August 2019

6

It’s the stereotypical California life, but for us VC residents, life at the beach is just business as usual.

If you’re used to the Los Angeles beaches — or any metropolitan area beaches — then you’re in for a shock at the VC beaches. With so many miles of sand, you’re sure to find plenty of space to lay your blanket. My favorite: Head up the 101, get off at the State Beaches exit, and keep driving till you find your little piece of paradise.

There are also some killer breaks for surfers, like Surfer’s Point, and other spots that are great for groms, like Mondo’s. Just be sure to bring a trash bag and pick up after yourself!

california101guide.com

• Get your culture fix

• Maritime amusement

Maybe it’s Ventura County’s proximity to L.A., but live music is huge around here. Cruise downtown in almost any town on a weekend, and you’ll find everything from experimental jazz to mariachi, EDM to bluegrass. If you’re looking for a more formal venue to explore music, there’s the decades-old Ojai Music Festival (early June) and the Ventura Music Festival (July). You’ve also got a county fair every summer, which consistently attracts some of music’s most popular groups (from Styx to Collective Soul, Martina McBride to Salt-N-Pepa, Sublime with Rome to Brothers Osborne).

Ventura County is home to two beautiful harbors: the Ventura Harbor and the Channel Islands Harbor. Both offer restaurants, shopping, bars, activities, and boat trips to the Channel Islands National Parks for maritime tours, island adventures, sport fishing, scuba diving, kayaking, whale watching, and more. In Ventura, there’s also a carousel and video games, an escape room, and the Channel Islands National Park Visitor Center.

In the Channel Islands Harbor, be sure to check out the Maritime Museum, the Scarlett Belle Paddlewheel Riverboat, the weekly farmer’s market, and seasonal festivals.

If art is more your thing, head up to art-central Ojai, where there’s an art gallery for every taste in practically every corner (and if you’re there in October, check out the Ojai Studio Artists Tour). In Ventura, we love Latitudes for its nature photography, and Vita Art Center for its diversity of offerings as well as its year-round classes.

Theater fans will love the Ojai Art Center, Ventura’s Rubicon, the Santa Paula Theater Center, the Oxnard Performing Arts Center, and others. For comedy fans, be sure to check out the Ventura Harbor Comedy Club and Oxnard Levity Live — both of which attract top names you’ll see on Netflix specials, Comedy Central, and beyond.

• Museums or bust Santa Paula has some surprisingly fascinating museums, like the California Oil Museum, the Aviation Museum, and the VC Museum of Agriculture. Ventura has Mission San Buenaventura — one of California’s many historic missions — and the Museum of Ventura County. Of course, there’s the not-to-be-missed Ronald Reagan Library out in Simi Valley, too. There are also military museums, science museums, maritime museums, Chumash museums, and more. It’s pretty amazing, the amount of history this area possesses, and the passion its residents have for preserving and protecting that history.

Ventura County, CA – August 2019

• Tastings. All. The. Tastings.

VC is home to countless wineries and breweries, and an increasing number of companies manufacturing spirits, too.

In Ojai, you’ll find a hot-spot of wineries and tasting rooms, like Old Creek Ranch, Ojai Vineyard, Majestic Oak, Casa Barranca, Topa Mountain Winery, and Boccali’s (among others). Head down to Ventura and you’ll find a growing list of breweries, like Topa Topa Brewing Co, MadeWest, Anacapa, Ventura Coast, and Poseidon (among others). In Oxnard’s industrial area, you can find gems like Herzog that has a rich history of producing incredible kosher wines and a fab restaurant, Tierra Sur, which serves local, seasonal fare that pairs perfectly with their wines. In East County, you’ll want to

check out Sunland Vintage, Alma Sol, and Epona Estate (among others).

Ventura Spirits and Channel Island Spirits are churning out some incredible, hyper-local gins, vodkas, brandies, rums, tequilas, and more. (Yeah — among others!)

Look, the point is, there’s a TON to taste, and we can’t possibly list them all, so get out and explore!

• The hikes Are. You. Kidding. Me. Between the Los Padres National Forest on one side and the Channel Islands on the other, Ventura County offers some of the best hikes in the country. Roughly half of the county — the north western half — is rugged, largely untouched terrain, making it ideal for the outdoorsman.

Go rock climbing on Pine Mountain, soak in the Sespe Hot Springs, take a dip in Paradise Falls, explore the solitude on Santa Cruz Island (look for the tiny island fox!) … you’ll never run out of spots to fall in love with.

For online maps we like hikelospadres. com, but nothing compares to a good old-fashioned paper map and a call to one of the local Forest Service Ranger Stations. Conditions and road closures vary, and you probably won’t have good cell service, so be sure to know what you’re getting into before you head out.

• Its proximity Ventura County is perfectly situated to take advantage of everything awesome in California. Its miles of coastline and vast mountain ranges may feel a million miles away from the city, but Los Angeles is less than a 2-hour drive from almost anywhere in VC. It’s also about 3 hours to San Diego, and less than 6 hours from San Francisco, Las Vegas, and the Sierra Nevada Mountains.

Are you convinced yet? Keep your eye on future California 101 editions for more insider secrets into the very best of Ventura County.

Exquisite country farmhouse nestled into the side of a hill with mountain views. The setting provides incredible views over the tree tops, very private with an orchard behind the property, a country road to one side and the mountain to the other. The house has a wonderful flow with a large great room with soaring beamed ceilings and truss beams, with the sleeping areas thoughtfully laid out on either side of the living spaces, a master bedroom wing with sitting area, a double dressing room and master bath with steam shower and jetted tub, and the guest bedrooms on the other side of the house for privacy.

The kitchen defines country with mellow wood custom cabinetry, incredible collectionworthy butler’s display cabinets, a Viking range and new stainless appliances. The living areas have reclaimed knotty spruce floors beautifully finished in a glowing natural stain.

To compliment the main living areas, up a short set of stairs, there is a beamed ceilinged office cum studio, with built-in cabinets, desk and fittings with a spectacular view over the property from a “Juliet” balcony set outside French doors. Downstairs, there is a separate art or exercise studio complete with fireplace, bathroom and kitchen area. The house is abundant with fireplaces, in the main living room, bedrooms and dining room.

The bathrooms are tastefully decorated in travertine marble, with top of the line fittings.

The house sits in a fairy-tale setting, set in terraced lush private gardens with meandering rock walls, 3 separate lawn areas, a folly and rose garden, lit by antique Victorian copper lanterns that once lined Pall Mall in London.

The garage is a separate structure with an upstairs studio space complete with fireplace, kitchen area and full bathroom.

The living room, kitchen and bedrooms open on to a very private back patio with a fountain, fireplace, built-in barbeque and fire-pit. Above the back patio is a secluded redwood deck for star watching or quiet contemplation.

In front of the house is a pool overlooking the lovely grounds together with another patio set in the tree-tops for gazing the “pink moment”. The garage studio accesses a patio and garden lawn area complete with “Folly.” california101guide.com
