Dos Vientos Ranch

Dos Vientos is a neighborhood in westernmost Newbury Park, California, which borders Dos Vientos Open Space and the Santa Monica Mountains. It was a 2,350-unit housing development which was approved by the Thousand Oaks City Council in April 1988. It is an upscale^[and master-planned community. Major development found place after infrastructure was built to support the homes in 1998. It was the largest residential project ever within Newbury Park. It has a maximum elevation of 2,500 feet.

Dos Vientos Open Space is a 1,216 acres open space area in western Newbury Park, California. It contains more than 41 miles of trails used for cycling, hiking and equestrians. Originally a part of the Rancho Guadalasca Spanish Land Grant of 1836, the area is now an important wildlife movement corridor into the Santa Monica Mountains through the Point Mugu State Park.  It provides a habitat for a variety of wildlife, including bobcats, mule deer, coyotes, eagles, hawks, barn owls, mountain lions, and more.  It provides regional and internal trail connections, many trails offering panoramic views of the Conejo Valley, Oxnard Plain, Topatopa Mountains, Channel Islands, and the Pacific Ocean. Some of the endangered plant species found here include Conejo Buckwheat, Verity's liveforever, and Conejo Dudleya.  The landscape is undeveloped,  and dominated by coastal sage scrub, grassy hillsides, oak woodlands, and chaparral habitats.
