Site Condition:Located in the secluded back country of the Rose Valley Recreation Area in the Los Padres National Forest, visiting Rancho Grande is a bit like being transported back to the Old West – but with modern conveniences. However, it is just a short drive from the village of Ojai – just in case visiting city folk need to pick up some organic produce at the farmers market or take in a little arts and culture, fine dining or boutique shopping. This working ranch was built in the 1800s, and original buildings dot the landscape, including the Rose Valley School House, which has been transformed into a guest cabin, and the original home, which has been updated with modern comforts and is now known as The Lodge. Another of the original buildings is now used as a central power station for this off-grid ranch and houses the batteries for the solar panel system and the back-up generator. From the ranch, you can explore the surrounding mountains on the Nordhoff Ridge Trail, Howard Creek Trail or Piedra Blanca Trail. On the ranch, you can live out just about any Old West dream, including hosting a barn dance in The Rock Room event hall, picking apples from trees planted in the 1800s, fishing or swimming in one of the three spring-fed lakes, rounding up cattle or telling tall tales around a campfire.
