Homes for Sale in Mira Monte, Ojai

Mira Monte at a glance

• A Census place, not a city: Homes for sale in Mira Monte CA stand in the Mira Monte Census-designated place, unincorporated land southwest of the City of Ojai where Ventura County sets zoning. Listings still read Ojai, CA 93023.
• Ventura River Water District: The district names Mira Monte among the areas it serves, with about 2,190 connections over roughly 3.3 square miles; 81 percent of its water is Upper Ventura River basin groundwater, the rest Casitas water.
• Sewer or septic: confirm it: LAFCo’s 2022 review of the Ojai Valley Sanitary District lists the City of Ojai, Meiners Oaks, Oak View and Casitas Springs among its areas but not Mira Monte. County Environmental Health oversees septic here but does not assess systems for sales, so order an inspection.
• Only a slice of Mira Monte: The search outline takes in about 44 acres off Woodland, Forest and Lake avenues and South Rice Road, west of Highway 33: under 2 percent of the Census place’s 4.8 square miles. Other Mira Monte homes will not appear.

Highway 33 and County service rules

Highway 33, here North Ventura Avenue, runs just east of the outline. The County’s Ojai Valley Area Plan keeps it at two lanes between Oak View and the City of Ojai and rules out freeway standards. The plan also has discretionary development inside the sanitary district’s boundaries connect to the sewer, while septic systems outside them follow County Environmental Health rules; that matters before a lot split.

Mira Monte questions, answered

Is this part of Mira Monte in a high fire zone?

Yes, all of it rates Very High: most on CAL FIRE’s 2025 local responsibility map, a western strip on the State Responsibility Area map. Civil Code 1102.19, in force as of 2026, requires a seller in such a zone to give the buyer proof of compliance with defensible-space law or sign a written agreement shifting that task to the buyer.

Does a creek channel cross this outline?

Yes. FEMA’s flood study runs Happy Valley Drain South through the southern part, with a Zone AE strip, partly regulatory floodway, along it; about 94 percent maps as Zone X, minimal hazard. FloodSmart reports that a third of flood insurance claims are filed in low- or moderate-risk zones, so price a policy anyway.

What other searches cover this part of the valley?

The streets listings call Rancho Matilija, north of Baldwin Road, also fall mostly inside the Mira Monte Census place and have their own Rancho Matilija homes for sale search. For the whole valley see Ojai, CA homes for sale, and an Ojai real estate agent can confirm which water and sewer providers a parcel uses.
