Historical Data
Dos
Vientos
Ranch
was a
5,000-acre
property
located
in the
Newberry
Park
area
of
Thousand
Oaks
, that
evangelist
O.L
.
Jaggers
purchased
in
1957
,
possibly
from
Snap-Tite
,
Inc.
, for the
purpose
of
building
a
World
Church
city
.
After
years
of
lawsuits
brought
against
Jagger
and his
World
Church
by
investors
of the
project
, the
land
was
eventually
transferred
over
to
Jackson
Appliance
Co
. In
1965
,
Louis
Lesser
Enterprises
of
Beverly
Hills
bought
the
property
for
$8.6
million
, and
began
a
master
plan
for a
residential
community
,
housing
8,000
units
and an
eventual
26,000
residents
.
Today
,
Dos
Vientos
Ranch
is
a
much
sought-after
2,300-acre
community
nestled
amid
the
rolling
hills
of
Thousand
Oaks
.
Description
Aerial
view
of
Dos
Vientos
Ranch
in
Newberry
Park
,
Thousand
Oaks
. The
divided
plots
of
land
give
the
impression
of a
beautiful
patchwork
quilt
at the
base
of the
mountains
, with
several
roads
seen
winding
through
. The
property
of
Dos
Vientos
Ranch
was
set
to
become
O.L
.
Jaggers
' "
World
Church
city
", but
because
the
area
is
so
large
, the
exact
location
of the
property
is
unclear
.
