Along California’s storied coast and into the Ojai Valley, a trio of residences captures the region’s signature balance of scenery, privacy, and ease. In Hermosa Beach, an updated Pat Killen–designed modern townhome pairs light-filled volume with layered outdoor living, including a rooftop deck with 360° views. Ojai’s Royal Oaks offers five gated acres near downtown, where porches, orchards, and deep amenities create a true compound feel. Ventura’s hillside retreat frames Pacific and Channel Islands vistas with seamless indoor-outdoor flow and a studio ADU.

Along the Hermosa Beach coastline, this updated modern townhome by pioneering architect Pat Killen reads as a study in refined restraint. Volume and natural light define the arrival, with an entry and ascending stairwell that immediately set a calm, architectural rhythm. Clean lines and functional elements keep the interiors feeling intentional, while sophisticated undertones give weight to the home’s simplicity. Ocean views extend the sense of openness, and outdoor living unfolds across a rooftop deck with 360-degree views, two additional decks, and an enclosed yard—spaces that invite everything from quiet mornings to sunset gatherings. Three bedrooms and 3.5 baths support daily ease, along with a dedicated laundry room and a large garage. It’s a sleek, sustainable backdrop for expressive living.

Beyond the gates at Royal Oaks, five private acres unfold just moments from downtown Ojai, balancing estate seclusion with everyday ease. A wrap-around porch sets a relaxed rhythm, while interiors accommodate both quiet and convivial living with a library, media room, and a wine cellar with tasting room. Five bedrooms, a gym/massage room, four fireplaces, and a sauna round out the home’s wellness and retreat-minded spaces. Outdoors, the grounds read like a personal resort: pool and spa, bocce court, putting green, volleyball court, a chessboard, and multiple gazebos. A family orchard and an olive tree orchard of approximately 30 trees bring a cultivated, agricultural character, complemented by pasture and a private well. Practicality is equally considered with RV parking with hookups, a six-car garage, and a workshop—setting the stage for weekends that feel unhurried.
