Carlisle Road predates the planned communities around it. It runs through the hills of unincorporated Ventura County, and its parcels were never subdivided into a tract: county records show 44 of them, of which nine carry a house, and no recorded tract number on any. The houses that have sold were built in 1973, 1981 and 1986.

There was no developer. What the record shows is land first and houses second: parcels of two to eight acres, houses from under 1,000 to over 5,000 square feet, no association, and prices set as much by the acreage and the access as by the building.

The sale record shows homes of 728 to 4,705 square feet, median 2,793, most with one bedrooms, and one of the three recorded sales single story. No plan sheet for Carlisle Road is in the Conejo Simi Moorpark Association of Realtors archive that this guide series draws on, so there is no drawing to reproduce. Every house is individually built, so there are no tract plans.

The addresses run along Carlisle Road, East Carlisle Road and West Carlisle Road. All three recorded sales were on East Carlisle Road. With 35 of the 44 parcels unbuilt, the neighbors are mostly open land.

The first reason is acreage: two to eight acres with a Westlake Village address. The second is privacy, on a road where most parcels are open land. The third is freedom from an association. The fourth is the range, from a small house on seven acres under $800,000 in 2021 to a finished house with a pool at $2,700,000.

All three sales since 2020 were listed with no association and a fee of $0. What governs a parcel here is the county: zoning, the permit process, fire clearance and any private-road or access easements, all of which the title report and the county file will show.

What the association covers and what the CC&Rs restrict is not confirmed in any source Gary Jacobs has been able to verify. Take the budget, the reserve study, the insurance certificate and the CC&Rs from the seller’s disclosure package, read the minutes for any special assessment or litigation, and confirm the current fee with the manager before removing a contingency.

Carlisle Road is in the Conejo Valley Unified School District, and Westlake High School is the high school for this side of Westlake Village. Elementary and middle school assignments depend on the address, so confirm them with the district’s school locator before writing an offer.

The setting is the amenity: open hills, with Lake Sherwood and its private club nearby for members and the trailheads of the Santa Monica Mountains a short drive. Shops and restaurants are in Westlake Village, down Potrero Road and Westlake Boulevard.

Potrero Road and Westlake Boulevard reach the Ventura Freeway in roughly fifteen to twenty minutes. The drive to the Westside is forty minutes on a good day and ninety on a bad one, plus the drive in from the hills.

The figures in this section were current when this guide was last reviewed. The sale record in the facts above and the listings below are drawn live from the MLS each time the page loads.

One home in the tract sold through the MLS in the last two years, for $2,700,000 in December 2025. The three sales since April 2021 ran from $795,000 to $2,700,000 with a median of $2,180,000. The top of the record is $2,700,000 on Carlisle Road in December 2025 for a 2,793-square-foot three-bedroom from 1973; the bottom is $795,000 on Carlisle Road in April 2021 for a 728-square-foot one-bedroom from 1986.

Three sales in six years across properties this different is a set of individual transactions rather than a trend. The December 2025 sale is the best guide to a finished house on acreage: $2,700,000 against a list price of $2,825,000, after 309 days on the market. Houses here take time to sell because the buyer for acreage is a particular buyer. Gary Jacobs keeps the full history and can say where a given property sits in it.

No lease is recorded in the MLS sources this guide draws on, so it does not quote a rent. Leasing here is occasional and private.

These are individually built houses from the 1970s and 1980s on rural parcels, and the inspection goes past the house: a well or the water connection, the septic system, propane or gas service, the private road or driveway, drainage and slope, and brush clearance. Fire-zone mapping and an insurance quote belong at the start of the process. A geotechnical engineer should answer slope questions a general inspector can only flag.

On acreage the value is in the land, and the improvements that return their cost are the ones that make the land usable: access, water, the building pad, and a house brought up to the setting. Pull the permit history for every structure on the parcel before pricing an addition.

The comparison is the other land and estate markets nearby. Thistleberry and the Lake Sherwood lakeside homes are the older houses at the lake, behind the Sherwood gates, at medians near $2,800,000 and $4,900,000. Hidden Valley Estates is a gated enclave of two-acre lots from 2005 and 2006. Westlake Country Estates is gated acre-plus lots on the Los Angeles County side. Carlisle Road is the ungated, unassociated choice among them, with the most land per parcel and the widest range of houses.

Start with the parcel: the title report for access easements and any private-road agreement, the county for zoning, fire mapping, septic and slope, and an insurance quote early. Then the water source and the septic system, inspected. Then the house, briefed for its own year and with its permit history pulled. Then patience, because three properties have sold in six years.

Buyers who want land first: privacy, animals, a shop or a guest house, without an association. Builders and renovators second, for the smaller houses on large parcels. Buyers relocating third, for whom acreage near Westlake Village is the brief.

For a buyer, start with the title report, the county file and an insurance quote, then the well, septic and house inspections. Confirm the school assignment for the exact address with Conejo Valley Unified.

For a seller, there is no plan comparable; the comparable is the land, the access and the house together. Expect a longer marketing time than in the tracts, and say the usable acreage, the water and the access in the first lines of the listing.
