Property Description
Referred to as a 'Mansion' since the 1920s, this remarkable estate has long been woven into the fabric of Ventura's history.
Welcome to one of Ventura's truly iconic residences. A home where history, architecture, and lifestyle converge in a way that is nearly impossible to replicate today
Originally home to prominent and influential figures--including a Vice President of the Bank of Italy (a founding institution of Bank of America), a leading tri-county liquor and cigar distributor, and notable civic leaders--the property quickly became known as a place of gathering, influence, and hospitality.
The Lagomarsino family--often described as the 'Kennedys of the West Coast'--brought both prominence and intrigue to the estate. During the era of Prohibition, the property took on a new chapter,.
Reportedly hosting a speakeasy and private gatherings that added to its mystique. Over time, the estate evolved with the needs of the era--serving as a boutique lodging destination, housing soldiers during and after World War II, and later operating as a residential care facility.
In 2014, the property entered a new chapter under the stewardship of the Mondol family, preserving its character while preparing it for its next legacy owner.
