Ventura Farms, Agricultural estate in Thousand Oaks, California, US.
Ventura Farms is an agricultural estate in the Santa Monica Mountains dedicated to Arabian horse breeding and farming operations. The property includes specialized stables, pastures, and farm buildings distributed across the landscape.
The property was acquired in 1978 by David Murdock and transformed from traditional farmland into a specialized Arabian horse breeding center. This shift brought the development of modern agricultural and breeding facilities to the estate.
The farm maintains educational programs about sustainable agriculture and horse breeding techniques, connecting local communities with agricultural practices.
Visiting requires advance arrangements since the estate is not freely accessible without a guide. Visitors should be prepared for uneven terrain and wear comfortable shoes, especially when exploring the stables and pastures.
The property serves as a filming location and is frequently used for production work, with barns, farmhouses, ponds, and open fields available for shoots. This dual purpose as a working farm and production site makes it a versatile estate.
