Why they chose this property
We purchased this acreage (26) in 1999 with nothing but one framed out two story barn standing alone and a rickety old cabin on the hill. We own both sides of Old Creek Road. "Our" side is 10 acres with our home studio (used to be the barn) and "Your" side is the remaining acreage with a vineyard and our guest cottage.
What makes this property unique
THEEEEE PERFECT LOCATION! You'll have complete privacy, your own land and road and gate at the beginning and end of the road that goes up to the cottage. Adjacent to our property is the LAND CONSERVANCY / Santa Rita Ranch which creates a corridor for wildlife to travel through this mountain range, the Santa Lucia's. Our location 1/2 way between the Pacific Ocean and Paso Robles downtown brings in a coastal influence which typically keeps our weather temperate. Having us live right across the road makes it handy if you need anything during your stay. It's a blink of an eye (under 5 minutes) to VINEYARD DRIVE and some of the most amazing "west side" wineries. Trader Joe's is 11 minutes away.
If you head down Old Creek Road 15 minutes max, you'll hit the coast and if you turn right you are in Cayucos (Ruddell's smoked fish tacos) and to the left - Morro Bay for fresh fish (restaurant and fish market) at Dockside II on the wharf.
