Villa Bellissima" has never been on the market before and has been in the same family for more than 1/3 of a century. It is the "grand dame" of homes in the Fillmore/ Santa Paula area. The 525 Lemon trees and estimated 2,350 avocados earned more than $210,000 net income in 2024. The return on investment from the orchards alone is over 5 percent. The home is off a main highway; and you need to enter a private road through a glen flanked by lemon and avocado groves and need to follow the concrete and brick lined path. You make one sharp curve and continue until you see flowering agapanthus. You arrive at the pinnacle of the rolling hilled valley where you see the country estate spread before you; "Villa Bellissima" has more than 6200 sq ft of living space. You park in one of two oversized garages. You have the choice of driving through the portico or parking nearby. On a moist morning, you can smell jasmine from nearby gardens and in spring , the fragrance of lemon blossoms from your own orchards fills the air. Your 44.7 acres are lush and the valleys are green. The home has so many amenities it is difficult to enumerate in the limits of an online description. You fill the bedrooms with family and friends and you enjoy the living room with 25 foot vaulted ceilings. You have a part of the home with a separate entrance that is used for either your special guests or your house manager. Your music fills up the rest of the home. You make plans for your private vineyard and your specialty brand of limoncello as you enjoy the cool water of the custom swimming pool. The serenity, privacy and pace of life is so much better here. This is a magnificent Country Estate or a glimpse of a dream that is certainly within reach. Some details of the home: 1800 square foot master suite with 2 walk in closets and a private atrium. The master suite fits two king size beds & can control skylights and alarms from the bed. The pool home is a 2/1. The home manager space has a family room and a bedroom. All tallied, the home has 7 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. --
