Our private 3000 Sq Foot Ranch House is located on our 40-acre working farm and equestrian event center. Located in the foothills of Ventura County. We are a family run, working ranch secluded in a small valley between the town of Moorpark and the community of Somis. Go to our website for Tons of Photos. You can Google Meadows of Moorpark or use the Link Below.

People are amazed at our island of paradise, located only 40 minutes from Los Angeles and 30 minutes to great pacific surfing spots of the 'Rincon.'

We are a horse center and working avocado ranch. Our Ranch is for someone who wants to get away from the city, but close enough to visit. Don't be fooled by other mini-ranches, they often are nothing more than a guest house in a 1-acre rural neighborhood. The Ranch house is the real deal. Our privacy and real orginal homestead environment is our gem.

Feel free to come visit our family and ranch any time and check out the farm before hand.

The words, 'room and space' are defined at the Meadows. Our Dad designed it 32 years ago for our large family. It can be yours and 13 of your best friends in the four giant, private bedrooms.

The Ranch House represents 'California Style' and has been used in the filming of commercials and movies. Some stay on our private ranch to avoid the Paparazzi.

The ammenities are almost endless and the porch-laundry room is bigger than most kitchens. People tell us that they like to visit the ranch house for an 'off the map' rural retreat. The large 30X30 “Great Room” is the centerpiece of the house and you get that cozy 1800's ranch feeling while sitting by the massive fireplace and watching the wildlife.

Many people rent the ranch for quiet family get togethers, horse events or even romantic get-aways. Why rent 4 hotel rooms for the reunion?

Our house sleeps 14 in a variety of bed sizes and is located at the end of a tree lined private driveway-entrance. We even have a 16 person bunkhouse and detached cottage that sleeps two. We designed our restaurant-size kitchen before it was vogue. There are 3 bathrooms, numerous nooks , and perfect reading areas.

Wi-Fi in the whole house, Satellite Television, DVD and outdoor movie area.

Step out side and see our 100 year-old ranching implements and barns. We are a working ranch and do have activities occurring, tractoring, orchards and farm work in our adjoining canyons.

Take a walk up the hiking trails to the pond and picnic areas. We have a real working Santa Maria Barbecue that can cook for 75. We have outdoor heaters and campfire areas for year-round enjoyment. Do you like to see the stars at night. Make smores at our campfire center is only 30 feet from the ranch house and is the #1 favorite of guests. You will enjoy watching the Milky Way and shooting stars almost nightly.

We have a giant pool and outdoor spa that across the meadow about 250 yards away.

Romance and Ranch House both start with an 'R'. There is a reason, the Meadows Ranch House is the epitomy of a peacful ambiance.

Note: Out of common sense and respect for our adjoinng farms, we do not host weddings, large parties with live bands etc.. We can hook you up with nearby wedding areas approved.

                        The Ranch House itself is incredible - massive open living space, an abundance of bedrooms and bathrooms, a kitchen and laundry filled with all the utensils and equipment you could possibly need. It is very clean, the towels are fresh, and there is no shortage of cleaning, washing and vanity items. The wifi was also consistent and fast. The surroundings are exquisite. Short walks will present views of mountains, canyons, avocado and tangerine trees, and the equestrian arena nearby ensures a proper ranch feeling. The owner of the property, Tammy, is incredibly friendly and it was a pleasure to deal with her. I would absolutely recommend a stay here - for every type of person. I myself am a young traveller who was looking for a proper American ranch experience and a base for exploring California, and I am more than satisfied with my choice. I can see the potential for families, retirees, couples, groups and everyone in between. While staying at the Ranch House, I visited Malibu, Santa Barbara, LA, Santa Monica and Venice Beach. All were an easy drive away, and it was always a pleasure to return in the evenings to the Ranch House! Prepare for amazing Californian weather too!

                        Our group of friends wanted a quick weekend getaway close to Los Angeles. Upon discovering Meadows of Moorpark, we immediately booked our getaway. When we arrived, we were greeted like family and after a brief tour, we settled in for what promised to be a relaxing stay. We were not disappointed. The ranchhouse was well appointed, clean and comfortable. We had everything we needed to cook a fabulous meal. That night we gather by the firepit, drank wine until the cows came home. That morning after coffee, we hike and explored the ranch like a scout troop. Lots of fun. Thank you Again and We'll be back.

                        We had a group of 15 ladies for a overnight retreat and this was the perfect place. The huge living room served as our meeting place complete with projector. The layout of the rooms, kitchen and dining room is great for large groups (we never felt crowded). My personal fav is the outdoor campfire (s'mores) and nature trail to the pond. Pure air, peacefulness and truly gracious owners make it hard to leave. I look forward to coming back!

                        The Meadows at Moorpark Ranch House was wonderful. We had a group of about 15 women and we really enjoyed the house and its surroundings. The owners were hospitable and the facilities were clean and in order.

                        We stayed at the Ranch house for a 3 day wedding weekend. We had friends and family that came in from out of town for a wedding (at the Walnut Grove), and the house served as a great home base for all who stayed there. Tammy and Randee were gracious hosts and the house had everything one could want when hosting 15 people. We spent many hours by the pool, playing lawn games and just relaxing on the grounds. We all hope to come back some day with our future families for a reunion. Thanks!

                        What a lovely idyllic retreat! The farmhouse is spacious, elegant and beautifully furnished with antiques. The property is lovely and sits among beautiful horse properties and avocado and orange groves. I especially enjoyed the equestrian ambiance and walking the cross country course. My husband was smitten with the pigeon coop and the music of the turtle doves and birds. We enjoyed our outdoor barbecues and the nice kitchen. The location was perfect for our sojourns to the Reagan Library (15 minutes) and the Getty Museum and museums around Pasadena (40 min. to 1 hr. -- not bad for L.A. and you get to stay in the country!). The owners are friendly and charming and have thought of everything to make their guests welcome and at home. I highly recommend this place and hope to return.

The grounds are spectacular. The owners are delightful. I highly recommend, equestrian or not, that this is THE PLACE to stay. I promise, I'll be back!

                        Over the past three years I have come to California from both Scotland and Switzerland to enjoy the 'California Experience'. I have had the pleasure of staying at The Ranch House on two occasions. August 2008 and September 2010. Both times provided lifetime memories that I will treasure for the rest of my life. The ranch house setting is wonderful for large families or group reunions. My two visits were both reunions with great friends. The facilities provide ample room for group gatherings and private space that allow everyone the opportunity for solitude if/when wanted. The open plan in the main living area lets the cooks in the kitchen visit and socialize as everyone else chills out in the dining/living area. The laundry room (huge) off the kitchen makes it really easy to 'multi-task' and have fun at the same time. Each bedroom has its own qualities and that makes it hard to decide which one to 'grab' upon arrival! The outdoor space is just as special as the indoor. The fire pit was a great space to gather in the evenings for talks about what we had done during the day. I enjoyed the tour of the surrounding area with views of the ocean at one point that took my breath away. The avocado orchard and corrals just added to 'The California Experience' that I had hoped for. Finally, the host of The Ranch House, Tammy and Tim Hagel, are two of the nicest people you will ever meet in your life. They made us feel like we were part of their family and could not have been kinder. Their knowledge of the area and the love and care that they have for their property shows through in everything they do. I would recommend staying here to anyone who is looking for FUN in California!!!

                        My family loved staying at this Moorpark Ranch for a family reunion. The ranch house is super clean, comfortable ans spacious: I think our house would fit in the living room! The on-site staff were available as needed and couldn't be more helpful. It is a perfect place for a City-dweller's get-a-way. We used the ranch for a family reunion for members for our mid-western family to meet-up with family from northern and southern Cal. The kitchen was big enough for two families to cook at once, with outdoors space galore for an evening fire or meals by the patio. the pool is also a big plus - our kids loved the going form the pool to the hot-tub. I highly recommend it as a laid-back place to hang-out with your family.

                        Our family is spread between northern and southern California. We even have a brother in Europe. We found the Moorpark ranch house by googling. We wanted a place all our families could use as a home base. We had grandparents, cousins, brothers and sisters. We even used the cottage for my folks. It was great with it's own kitchen and quiet location from the grandkids. We cooked huge dinners outside each night, there are tons of tables and chairs for a big family.Everything is big on the ranch. The owner even took out kids on a tractor ride and we bagged our next Christmas photo. They loved catching polywogs at the pond.

                      Year Purchased: 1977

                      About the owner: Raised on our ranch. We are a farming and horse family and live and work on the ranch. Our houses are on the other side of the ranch, 1/2 mile away, close enough to make sure your needs are met and still allowing total privacy. We have many farming activites going on, and when possible, always offer up a chance for guests to jump in. A slice of rural California just 45 minutes to Los Angeles, 10 minutes to Moorpark and Camarillo Wedding areas. 20 minutes to Thousand Oaks, Simi Valley and Ventura.

                      Why the Owner Chose Moorpark:
                      We bought the ranch over 34 years ago. It is the Oliver 1890 homestead and the Oliver's taught us how to farm. We loved the seclusion of our 'Long Canyon' and have great ranching and farming neighbors.

                      The Unique Benefits at this Farmhouse:
                      Relaxation, privacy, nature, space and quiet, with the ocean and cities just 10-20 minutes away.
