Welcome to Berylwood Tree Farm, a 22.86 acre flat, fully usable estate in the heart of Somis, California rich in heritage, infrastructure, and opportunity. Founded in 1969 by renowned horticulturist Rolla J. Wilhite, Berylwood Tree Farm has long been regarded as one of the most respected specimen tree nurseries in the Western U.S. Its trees have been sourced for some of California's most iconic institutions and landscapes, including The Getty Center, The Getty Villa, Universal Studios, The Huntington Library & Gardens, CBS Studios, Disney, Warner Bros., and top-tier resorts, universities, and private estates throughout the region. This is not just a property it's a piece of California's living history. The land consists of two adjoining parcels totaling 22.86 acres, zoned AE (Agricultural Exclusive). The grounds are fully improved for large-scale nursery or farming use, with a private irrigation reservoir, full drip irrigation system, shaded grow house, concrete drainage infrastructure, gravel roads, workshops, equipment garages, and dual gated entrances separating residential and business access. The land is flat, efficient, and exceptionally well-maintained, making it ideal for continued agriculture, equestrian use, vineyard conversion, or as a private compound.The residential heart of the estate is a custom-built 2,976 sq ft, two-story home, offering flexible living options. The downstairs level has been recently renovated and features a guest bedroom, full bath, study/office, large family room, laundry, and garage perfect for extended family, guests, or short-term rental use. The upstairs level features an open-concept great room with an entertainer's kitchen, spacious covered deck with string lighting, a primary suite with a spa-style bathroom, walk-in closets, and a dedicated meditation room. The layout and separate entrances make the home easily adaptable for Airbnb or dual-living configurations. Included in the offering is the option to purchase, at cost, over 5 million in mature specimen tree inventory, currently boxed and ready for resale. This makes the property a rare turn-key opportunity for landscape architects, wholesale growers, or entrepreneurial buyers looking to capitalize on an established, high-value inventory base. Alternatively, the seller is open to liquidating inventory prior to close, allowing the buyer to reimagine the land for personal or alternate commercial use.Located just one hour from Los Angeles and 30 minutes from the Pacific Ocean, Somis is known for its rural charm, temperate climate, and agricultural heritage.
