Yahoo Lifestyle A Tuscany-Inspired Villa in SoCal Surrounded by a Lemon Orchard Can Be Yours for $10 Million
A little over a decade ago, Jennifer and Ivan Amodei purchased a nearly 30-acre parcel between Los Angeles and Santa Barbara and then set out to create a sprawling slice of paradise nestled amid a lemon orchard and formal gardens. The couple—she an interior designer and he a master illusionist—are now ready to hand over the keys to their lavish Tuscany-style spread in the unincorporated Ventura County enclave of Somis near Camarillo, asking a dash under $10 million.
Tucked away behind a lengthy gated driveway that empties out at a circular motor court bolstered by a tiered fountain, the property is centered around a four-bedroom, four-bath main home boasting roughly 3,500 square feet of recently remodeled living space that’s described as “California coastal with a Provençal attitude, mixed with an Italian influence.” Other structures at the aptly named Villa Amodei include a guesthouse that has two bedrooms, a bath and a spacious entertainment lounge.
