An Ojai Valley Hacienda

Folded into the mountains of the Ojai Valley, this hacienda-style estate is pure California romance — hand-troweled plaster and soft arches, walls of glass that open to gravel courtyards and olive trees, its own hillside vineyard, and a palm-lined pool that glows as the sky turns pink over the ridgeline. From the sculptural staircase to the twilight fountain courtyard, every frame of this property felt like a painting. One of my favorite shoots to date.
