Haciendas is a small gated enclave at the far southwest corner of Dos Vientos: 34 Spanish and Mission style estates where the streets stop and the Santa Monica Mountains open space begins. It suits buyers who want a half acre to a full acre, two streets with no through traffic, and Sycamore Canyon K-8 and Newbury Park High without leaving the neighborhood. Homes run 4,300 to 5,100 square feet and recent sales have run about $2.77M to $3.15M.
Drive to the end of Dos Vientos, past the community park where youth sports run almost every evening, and the master plan gives way to something smaller. Inside the Haciendas gate there are only two streets, Via Andrea and Via Sorrento, and 34 homes spread across about 28 acres. Nobody cuts through. The open space next door carries more than 41 miles of trail for hikers, cyclists and equestrians, and the lots are big enough that you rarely hear a neighbor.

Life behind the gate
Haciendas is the kind of place where you learn every car within a month. With 34 homes and two streets, there is no traffic that is not going home, and the gate turns the whole enclave into a shared front yard. It is calm in a way the larger Dos Vientos tracts are not.
What makes it feel different from the rest of Dos Vientos is the setting. The neighborhood sits on the southwest edge of the city, built up against the 1,216 acre Dos Vientos Open Space rather than through it. The land behind you was part of the 1836 Rancho Guadalasca grant and now works as a wildlife corridor into the Santa Monica Mountains.
Daily life still runs on the Dos Vientos rhythm. Dos Vientos Community Park is the largest park in the Conejo Recreation and Park District, and the community center next to it on Borchard Road runs a preschool, sports and activities, with indoor and outdoor pickleball and tennis courts. Turnover inside the gate is low, which is exactly what people buying here want.
The homes: Mission and Spanish estates on real land
Every home in Haciendas was built in 1999 or 2000, and the architecture holds together in Mission and Spanish style. At least one is a single story Mission Revival estate, which is rare at this size anywhere in the Conejo Valley and a real draw for buyers who plan to stay a long time.
The floor plans run 4,300 to about 5,100 square feet with four or five bedrooms, and they live larger than the numbers because the lots are big enough to use. The smallest lot is just under half an acre and the largest is a bit over an acre, with the typical property around two thirds of an acre.
Because the homes are a quarter century old, condition varies house to house, and so does what each owner has done with the land. Walk every one that comes up.
Schools: Sycamore Canyon and Newbury Park High
Haciendas is assigned to Sycamore Canyon School, a K-8 campus on Via Rio in Newbury Park, so children can stay at one school from kindergarten through eighth grade. Sycamore Canyon carries a 10 out of 10 from GreatSchools, an A overall grade on Niche, and ranks fourth among public middle schools in Ventura County. Enrollment is about 937 students with a 23 to 1 student teacher ratio, and the school runs a Gifted and Talented program.
High school is Newbury Park High. Attendance boundaries can shift and vary by address, so confirm the assignment for a specific property with Conejo Valley Unified before you commit.
Trails, parks and getting out
The open space is the amenity. From the neighborhood you can reach the Sierra Vista Trail, about a mile long, which links Vista Del Mar on the west to Potrero Ridge on the east, and the larger trail network runs more than 41 miles for hikers, cyclists and equestrians. A short drive down Lynn Road takes you to Rancho Sierra Vista and Satwiwa, where the hiker only Satwiwa Loop passes a pond and the Native American culture center, with views of the Santa Monica Mountains and, on a clear day, the ocean. Sycamore Canyon runs from there through Point Mugu State Park to the coast along an old Chumash trade route.
Closer in, Dos Vientos Community Park has sand volleyball, baseball, basketball, tennis, soccer fields and playgrounds, and Del Prado Playfields is the other in-neighborhood park. Everyday shopping and dining sit within Dos Vientos itself, with the fuller Newbury Park and Thousand Oaks options to the east.
The trade off is distance. Haciendas is the far southwest corner of the city, and US-101 is reached by way of Lynn Road through Newbury Park. Expect a longer run to the freeway than from central Thousand Oaks, and time the drive yourself on a weekday morning before you buy.
Who it suits, and what to know before buying
Haciendas is for buyers who have decided that privacy, land and a gate matter more than being close to the 101. It fits families who want a K-8 school nearby, buyers coming from larger estates who want room on the lot, and anyone who hikes or rides and wants the trail network minutes away.
A few things we tell every client looking here:
- The market is thin. Only three homes have sold in the past three years, roughly three percent turnover a year. Comparable sales are scarce, so appraisals routinely reach into Estancia, Sedona, Virazon and Dos Vientos Estates. Know those neighborhoods before you negotiate this one.
- Confirm the dues. The Hacienda Community Association is managed by Ross Morgan and Company, and dues are roughly $254 a month, though quoted figures vary. Get the current budget, reserve study and CC&Rs in escrow, and ask who owns and maintains the gate and streets.
- Fire and insurance. The open space that makes the views also puts the neighborhood on the wildland edge. Get insurance quotes early, read the natural hazard disclosure closely, and budget for it.
- Read the tax bill. Dos Vientos was master planned in the late 1980s and built out around 2000, so check the property tax bill for any special assessments before removing contingencies.
- Walk the lot. Views and privacy change from one property to the next. Two homes with the same square footage can be very different purchases.

What is the HOA in Haciendas and what does it cost?
The Hacienda Community Association, managed by Ross Morgan and Company, runs the enclave. Dues are roughly $254 a month, though figures quoted on recent sales vary, so ask for the current budget and CC&Rs during escrow to confirm what the dues cover.
Is Haciendas in Thousand Oaks or Newbury Park?
Both, in a sense. Haciendas is inside the city of Thousand Oaks with a 91320 mailing address, and the Dos Vientos area is commonly called Newbury Park. It sits at the westernmost edge of the city, bordering the Dos Vientos Open Space and the Santa Monica Mountains.
How does Haciendas compare to Estancia and Sedona?
All three are gated Dos Vientos neighborhoods. Haciendas is a small one, at 34 homes on two streets built in 1999 and 2000, with large lots and a consistent Spanish and Mission style. Estancia and Sedona are separate Dos Vientos tracts, and their sales often serve as comps when Haciendas homes are appraised.
