Casa Mariposa - A Timeless BeautyReminiscent of the Ojai Valley Inn, Casa Mariposa is a fusion of refined elegance, innovation, and timeless European charm. Majestic in both vision and execution, it presents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the discerning buyer seeking distinguished living amid exceptional natural beauty. Set on 2.23 acres of meticulously landscaped grounds, the five-bedroom, seven-bath estate spans 4968 square feet and has been renovated with meticulous attention to detail--down to the custom tilework in each room. From sun-drenched terraces and romantic courtyards to lush gardens and breathtaking panoramic views of the Sulphur Mountains, Casa Mariposa offers a lifestyle of serenity and peace. The home boasts five fireplaces, including two in the expansive primary suite, one in the bedroom and one in the spa-inspired bathroom. The gourmet kitchen, featuring a new five-burner Wolf cooktop, opens seamlessly to an outdoor kitchen and entertainment area, complete with a wood-fired pizza oven and fireplace. Custom-designed ironwork, intricate lighting fixtures, and handcrafted grates add architectural elegance throughout the interior and exterior spaces. The floor plan is designed for effortless entertaining - whether hosting intimate dinners or large gatherings. Four of the five bedrooms include en-suite bathrooms, while the fifth (with ensuite) serves as a private retreat, accessible via an exterior staircase, offering a peaceful separation from the main home. Outside, unwind beside the updated pebble Tec pool and spa or relax under the cabana overlooking the tranquil gardens. Discover hidden seating areas throughout the grounds, including a fire pit nestled among approximately 55 mature olive trees. These olive trees produce the estate's own private-label olive oil, Casa Mariposa, with roughly 150 bottles bi-annually--perfect for personal enjoyment or elegant gifting. The property also features a rich variety of fruit trees, including lemon, pixie tangerine, grapefruit, and mango. Eco-conscious additions include ground-mounted, owned solar panels and two Tesla Powerwall, significantly reducing energy costs and environmental impact. Casa Mariposa is more than a home, it's a sanctuary of beauty, sophistication, and sustainability.
