Ventura
Ranch 90 is a 5,000-square-foot, single-story ranch set across six hillside acres in Ventura. Mid-century modern rooms shift between clean white living areas, a wood-and-brick den and highly styled bedroom suites, while the pool, stone terraces and rustic outdoor bar open onto expansive mountain views.
The main living and dining room reads as bright, composed mid-century modern. White-painted beams run above dark wood flooring, cowhide rugs, a low green sofa and sculptural timber seating. A branch-form chandelier anchors the long dining table. The room’s depth allows wide masters and reverse angles without losing its furnishings. A spindle screen and tiled entry create a clear transition into the darker den. Here, a vaulted wood ceiling and exposed beams rise over leather seating and a substantial curved brick fireplace with an integrated hearth. Warm paneling strengthens the period ranch character. That fireplace wall gives commercial and television shoots a complete, immediately recognizable hero angle.
The chef’s kitchen is a long working interior with black slate floors, knotty-pine cabinetry and a freestanding butcher-block island. Exposed decorative beams and copper-toned pendants carry the rustic palette into the breakfast area, where a substantial table sits beside corner windows facing the hills. The room has enough depth to frame cooking action through the island or look back along the full cabinet run. The pool room offers another broad setup, centered on a carved billiard table beneath a low wood-plank ceiling and skylight. Clerestory windows and glazed doors extend the sightline outdoors. Bedrooms range from a black-and-silver suite with mirrored surfaces and an adjoining bar-style vanity to a blush-pink room opening toward the pool. Bathrooms include pink tile, dark mirrored tile and graphic record-print wallpaper.
Outside, the traditional rectangular pool and inset spa sit among palms on a broad paved deck. Lounge furniture can be repositioned around the water, and the surrounding hills remain present in wider frames. A freestanding timber bar has a deep serving counter, stools, beer taps and open side windows that preserve the mountain backdrop. Stone paths connect the ranch house to furnished patios, a pergola-covered outdoor kitchen and several overlook terraces. One gravel terrace is arranged around brickwork and long benches; another uses wagon-wheel seating against a timber rail. Cypress, oak and walnut trees break up the six-acre hillside, while the property’s elevated position provides 360-degree views. Two barbecue areas support food and gathering setups outdoors.
A gated paved drive climbs through the Ventura hillside to the ranch, and the single-story plan reduces interior company moves. The house contains five bedrooms and four-and-a-half bathrooms and can sleep 14. Doorways connect the tiled foyer, white living room and brick den, allowing layered shots across rooms rather than isolated coverage. The long kitchen and game room provide additional holding or reset options between setups. Natural light varies usefully by zone. Hillside-facing picture windows bring strong daylight into the breakfast room and black bedroom, while a pool-facing glass door brightens the pink suite. The white living room receives softer side light through its garden window. Schedule the pool, terraces and window-led rooms for the strongest daylight; as the sun moves, the enclosed brick den, wood kitchen and mirrored bathrooms offer more controllable alternatives.
