About this home

We found 3 Cons,6 Pros. Rank: price - $1.70M(94th), sqft - 3414(96th), beds - 3(50th), baths - 3(50th).

Ridgecrest Drive might be the most impeccable property available on the market today. Quite perfectly set within its own canyon of privacy, this beautiful Mediterranean embraces the mountains beyond and exists in the secret society of Santa Paula. Just a smidgen east of the Ventura City line, this is oh so close to the beach but far enough away to be in paradise. Hard to find or to live without is this single level and generously sized home presenting 180 degree views from everywhere including the gourmet kitchen which by the way, is for serious cooks. Inside feels light, bright and airy even on gloomy days. The rooms are big, the storage is incredible, all while feeling like home. Exquisite primary has an en-suite bathroom with over-sized shower, sunken tub, double vanities and a loft! Cook alfresco in an outdoor kitchen or rest poolside all while inhaling the majestic scenery. Collect cars and store them properly in the 3 car detached with again - storage. Feel the weight drop off upon arrival, or just hold your breath. There is not one moment where you won't be taken away by everything.

Condition Rating
Fair

The property, built in 1989, is exceptionally well-maintained and move-in ready, but its aesthetic features, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms, are largely dated. The kitchen boasts high-end appliances (some newer, some older) and granite countertops, but the light wood cabinetry and overall style reflect trends from 15-25+ years ago. Bathrooms feature similar dated wood vanities, older tile choices, and in some cases, dated light fixtures and a sunken tub. While functional and clean, these areas would benefit from cosmetic updates to align with current styles. The flooring is a mix of well-kept carpet and large-format tile, also not contemporary. The property fits the 'Fair' criteria as it is aged but maintained through regular upkeep, with major components functional but showing signs of being outdated, and would require minor updates for a modern appeal.
Pros & Cons

High Available Lot Utilization: The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 27355, living area = 3414.
Panoramic Views: Offers breathtaking 180-degree panoramic views of mountains, valleys, and trees from nearly every room, including the kitchen, enhancing its appeal and value.
Exceptional Privacy & Seclusion: Perfectly set within its own private canyon, providing a unique sense of seclusion and tranquility, described as a 'secret society' location.

Cons

Location Specificity: While offering privacy, Santa Paula's location may not appeal to all buyers seeking closer proximity to major urban centers, diverse amenities, or specific school districts, especially at this price point.
Potential for System Updates: Built in 1989, some core systems (e.g., HVAC, plumbing, electrical) may be original and could require future upgrades, despite highlighted interior renovations in specific areas.
High Maintenance for Extensive Amenities: The luxurious amenities, including a pool, outdoor kitchen, and large private grounds, imply significant ongoing maintenance costs and time commitment for the homeowner.
