Looking for your Shangri-La? Ojai, California is a nature-lovers paradise.

With an estimated population of around 8,000, it has small town charm without being too rural. It is a haven for environmentalists, artists, musicians, and celebrities looking to get away from the media spotlight of LA. Reese Witherspoon has a 6.9 million dollar country house here, and former Dallas star Larry Hagman has a 9.3 million solar-powered hilltop retreat. And for just $3.495 million, you too can own a piece of paradise! Casa Verde is an environmentally friendly, state-of-the-art, five bedroom home in Ojai.
Built in 2008, this Spanish Revival-type house sits on two gorgeous acres with spectacular views of the Topa Topas and the valley. The home’s dramatic roof line protects against the heat and sun, yet utilizes their energy to supply radiant heat. It is fully equipped with efficient water, power, heating and ventilation systems, and includes radiant-heat floors and Trex decking. Grading of the hillside creates bioswales to help purify rainwater runoff. Read more…
