About the Listing X83391 - C117115
Introducing Los Limoneiros a named hilltop estate with founding-family provenance and a rare blend of early-20th-century Craftsman character and mid-century, glass-forward living. Built in 1912 by Nathan W. Blanchard, Sr. as a gift to his son Nathan W. Blanchard, Jr. and wife Josephine, the residence later underwent a thoughtful 194648 reimagining attributed locally to architect Roy Wilson that organized the home around a central courtyard and pool. Its name, Los Limoneiros Portuguese for "lemon lands" honors the Blanchard family's citrus legacy and the Limoneira story. By 1922, one in eight lemons consumed in the United States came from Ventura County, most from Limoneira. A long gated driveway ushers you to a single-level, U-shaped footprint wrapped in horizontal siding and set on handsome river-rock base walls. Deep eaves with classic Craftsman brackets meet wide panes of glass and sliders. An architectural conversation between eras that floods the interiors with light and valley views. Inside, the living room spans the view side with a wall of glass opening to an extra-wide covered veranda that overlooks the mountain silhouettes, and palm's true indoor/outdoor flow. The dining room is all day-light and greenery, while the cheerful kitchen pairs crisp white cabinetry and long prep runs with a central island, stainless appliances, and charming awning windows for easy cross-breezes. The original two-wing plan remains: a bedroom wing on one side, and a service/laundry wing on the other, connected by a central hall. On the lower level, a generous speakeasy-style lounge with bar/kitchenette, fireplace, and flex gym zone offers bonus hangout space. Adjacent, a stone-walled room with arched steel-sash windows and brick flooring believed historically to have served as a cool cellar or larder, invites future use as a wine library, workshop, or studio. Outdoors, the property lives like a private park: garden rooms, meandering water features, two tea houses, a classic lawn tennis court, an avocado orchard, and a pool with companion pool house create a resort-style setting from golden hour to starlight there's even a chicken coop for fresh-egg mornings. Moments to the Santa Paula Art Museum and the Agriculture Museum, with unique outings like Sunburst Railbikes from the historic depot. Local favorites include Tlaquepaque (handmade tortillas), Rabalais' (Cajun-inspired bakery & bistro), and Hozy's Grill. About 16 miles to Ojai, 14 miles to Ventura's beaches, and 65 miles to Los Angeles close to everything, yet in its own world. The Blanchard legacy is woven into Santa Paula supporting local schools, helping to found Pomona College, and gifting the Dean Hobbs Blanchard Memorial Library earning the family a place as the region's "first family of citrus." Los Limoneiros is not just a house, but a landmark chapter in Santa Paula's citrus history.
