Joel McCrea Ranch, Historic ranch property in Thousand Oaks, United States
The Joel McCrea Ranch spans over 220 acres of land, featuring eight contributing buildings and four contributing structures at the base of Norwegian Grade.
Actor Joel McCrea and his wife Frances Dee established this working ranch in the 1930s, where they raised cattle and maintained agricultural operations for decades.
The property includes architectural elements designed by John Byers, who incorporated Adobe and Spanish Colonial Revival styles into the California Ranch structures.
The McCrea Ranch Visitor Center at 4500 North Moorpark Road offers scheduled tours and educational programs through the Conejo Recreation and Park District.
The ranch features an avocado-shaped swimming pool constructed in 1933, reflecting the intersection of Hollywood glamour with agricultural living.
