Eiza González Living Her Socal 'Ranch Girl' Fantasy: 'Animals Are My World!' on ONDA LA

Eiza González Saddles Up for Ranch Life in SoCal

Hollywood’s got nothing on the rolling hills of Ojai for Eiza González. The Mexican actress, known for her killer roles and red-carpet slay, just dropped a cool $4 million on a sprawling 110-acre ranch about 80 miles from the LA hustle. It’s a childhood dream come true for González, who’s always had a soft spot for wide-open spaces and furry friends.

Chatting on 'The Kelly Clarkson Show,' she couldn’t hold back her excitement about the new digs. This ain’t just a property flip - it’s the start of her full-on 'ranch girl era,' and she’s ready to build her dream escape from the ground up. With a four-bedroom, two-bath guest house, an art studio, and a two-car garage, this spot is pure Cali countryside goals.

For those not in the know, Ojai’s a hidden gem northwest of LA, a chill artsy town where celebs sneak away for some peace and quiet. González’s new pad is basically a postcard of SoCal serenity, and she’s already planning to fill it with critters of all kinds.

From Mexico City Chaos to Ojai Oasis

González ain’t new to the animal game - she’s been obsessed since her days as a kid in Mexico City. Back then, she turned her tiny apartment into a mini-zoo, much to her family’s dismay. We’re talking toucans, ducks, and even a cageless hamster running wild - total chaos!

'My brother was like, "Girl, you’re outta control - there’s poop everywhere!" But I couldn’t help it; animals are my heart,' González laughed on the show.

Her TikTok feed is basically a shrine to miniature farm animals - think tiny cows and teacup pigs that had the 'Kelly Clarkson Show' audience losing it. She even shared a clip of an adorable piglet that got everyone squealing. If that’s not SoCal summer energy, we don’t know what is!

A Lifetime Love for Animals

González’s bond with animals runs deep, rooted in family vibes. Growing up, her house was a straight-up menagerie - hamsters, chickens, ferrets, and even her dad’s pet squirrel. Her mom kept horses, so it’s no surprise Eiza’s got ranch life in her DNA.

She’s candid about being a 'weird kid,' as she told The New York Times, but owning that quirk is what makes her so real. Now, she’s glued to TikTok accounts of farm owners living her ultimate fantasy, gushing over random critters and dreaming of her own herd.

She’s in good company too, joining other powerhouse women like Salma Hayek and Bella Hadid, who’ve ditched the spotlight for nature’s embrace. Whether it’s Malibu-style drama or Ojai’s quiet charm, González is carving out her own slice of paradise - one animal at a time.
