Property Description

This "Old Ojai" 46+ acre property is situated on BOTH sides of Maricopa Highway, and offers moist, luscious and breezy setting; accessible river frontage; and springs. This property has three flat areas with separate entrance gates. Its historic nature includes the Matilija Hot Springs Bridge, a shared border with Ojala, and a colorful history as the location of Pop Soper's boxing ring. On the mountain side, there is a flat area close to the highway that offers beautiful views. The property was burned in the 2017 Thomas Fire, taking the last remaining 1920's cottage. There are no known existing utilities. Buyers who would be interested in developing the property are SOLELY responsible for their own assessment of the property and its potential uses. The Ventura County Non Coastal Zoning Ordinance, Section 8105-3, is a good place to START to investigate uses and other County Planning requirements. Other Government and Municipal Agencies, and/or Private Entities, may also weigh in on the buildability and usability of the property due to zoning requirements and easements. This property has three bridge easements including the Camino Cielo, Matilija Hot Springs, and Ojala Bridges. Other easements exist. Though there is a lot to consider when planning to use this property, one thing is clear: it is a truly beautiful and magical "Old Ojai" setting with great opportunity for those with vision, determination, and perseverance.
