Property Description

Welcome to The Acacia Mansion, a landmark 1929 Spanish Colonial Revival estate nestled in the heart of Meiners Oaks, Ojai. Situated on an expansive 0.83-acre corner lot, this extraordinary property offers nearly 4,300 square feet of exquisite living space and a rare opportunity to own a piece of Ojai's cultural and architectural legacy.Designated Ventura County Landmark No. 170 and eligible for the Mills Act, this historic residence with Moorish influences and many original details, was originally built for Theosophists David and Madeline Baird, followers of Krishnamurti. Over the years, it has hosted luminaries such as Aldous Huxley, Annie Besant, Marc Chagall. and George Bernard Shaw. Every element of the home reflects its storied past, from the grand pink-marble staircase and hand-carved mahogany doors to gold-leaf ceilings and two original Ernest Batchelder fireplaces. The main residence welcomes you with a breathtaking two-story formal foyer, featuring a filigree wrought-iron staircase, stained glass windows, gold leaf stenciled ceilings, and intricately carved mahogany doors. Elegant formal living and dining rooms, a cozy reading room, and a series of soaring ceilings and arched entryways showcase timeless craftsmanship. Rich hardwood and tile flooring, built-in cabinetry, and graceful balconies with wrought-iron railings evoke the artistry of a bygone era. The chef's kitchen is a culinary delight, outfitted with a La Cornue range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, granite countertops, custom cabinetry, and a walk-in butler's pantry that preserves original architectural details. Upstairs, you'll find five spacious bedrooms and a versatile extra room offering endless possibilities. A detached garage is topped by a private one-bedroom guest apartment with its own entrance- perfect as a secluded retreat or guest quarters. Beyond the interiors, the grounds have been thoughtfully updated and landscaped with mature fruit trees and native drought-tolerant plants. A charming brick patio with an aged fireplace creates a magical setting for gatherings.Recent updates include new HVAC systems, copper gutters, restored exterior plaster, period-style awnings, interior and exterior painting, and enhanced landscaping. The Acacia Mansion is a one-of-a-kind legacy property that offers unmatched character, elegance, and a deep connection to Ojai's spiritual and artistic heritage.
