We’ll be holding our listing at 12752 Sisar Road in upper Ojai open tomorrow (Saturday) from 1:00 to 4:00.  You can catch a sneak peek of it today from 9:30 to noon as well.  This really is an amazingly updated cabin – located close to the Sisar Trail.  Here’s a 3-minute video I put together recently (click on the photo below).  Expand the video to full screen so that you can read the descriptions without the video overlay covering them.  I hope you’ll enjoy it.  Have a great weekend!

There are two new listings on the market:

 

385 Sunset Avenue – $795,000

 

 

13202 Ojai Road – $8,880,000

(Although this property shows as a “Santa Paula” address, I’m including it because other properties

in this area have been listed as being located in Ojai – and this is close enough and certainly qualifies.)
