Moorpark Road, in Thousand Oaks, Ventura County, Southern California. Part of the Conejo Recreation and Park District system, in the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area.
context_page_description: The Joel McCrea Ranch in Thousand Oaks, California is also known as the August DuMortier Ranch. The ranch is rare surviving example of the large cattle ranches and fields of grain which once dotted the Santa Rosa and Conejo valleys in eastern Ventura County.
  Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997, the site includes eight contributing buildings and four contributing structures on over 220 acres. One surviving building dates from 1890 from August DuMortier's ranch; the main house, an avocado-shaped pool, and a cabana/poolhouse were built in 1933; a maid's residence and various other contributing and non-contributing buildings date from later.
