Built and designed by daredevil pilot Mira Slovak in 1974, this two-bedroom, three-bathroom home reflects his love for aviation. Designed to mirror his passion for adventure, the three-story residence embodies the thrill of soaring through the skies, with a dramatic sunken living room, a three-story lookout tower, and sweeping bird’s eye views of the Ojai Valley. The home blends mid-century and Spanish influences to create a space that is both daring and elegant.
