Property Description
Welcome to the Gallery of Historical Figures
Discover a rare opportunity to own a historic Ojai artist's studio and residence. Situated in the desirable East End of Ojai on a private one-acre parcel, this 1947 home blends timeless California character with a remarkable artistic legacy.
The 6-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom property was the former home and workshop of George S. Stuart, the world-renowned sculptor and historian best known for creating more than 400 lifelike, quarter-scale museum-quality historical figures. His works have been exhibited in prestigious institutions across the United States and remain in the permanent collection of the Museum of Ventura County. This is the first time the property has been offered for sale, making it an exceptional piece of Ojai real estate.
The residence retains its original charm, featuring hardwood floors, a vintage country kitchen, original windows, a private courtyard off the dining room, and a large screened-in porch perfect for indoor-outdoor living in Ojai's Mediterranean climate.
The grounds offer versatile amenities including a detached garage, a large outbuilding ideal for a workshop or creative studio, and the convenience of a private well and septic system. With space for gardens, art, or expansion, the property provides both privacy and flexibility.
This extraordinary Ojai property offers more than a home it is a chance to own a piece of California art history, a space suited for collectors, creatives, and those seeking a truly inspired lifestyle.
