Property Description
This unique westside Atascadero property is being offered for sale for the first time since 1975. Set among beautiful mature oak trees on approximately 4.87 acres, the property offers a peaceful country setting with convenient access to Highway 101; minutes from downtown Atascadero, Santa Margarita, and San Luis Obispo.
Tucked away off a quiet non-through road, the three-level home enjoys a private setting surrounded by nature. Large windows throughout the home frame picturesque views of oak-studded hillsides, creating a strong connection to the outdoors from nearly every room. Vaulted wood ceilings and abundant natural light enhance the sense of openness, while rich redwood trim, custom wood doors, and 2 wood-burning fireplace's add warmth, character, and craftsmanship rarely found.
The flexible floor plan is open to a variety of living arrangements, including multigenerational living, guest accommodations, or dedicated spaces for work, hobbies, recreation, or creative pursuits. A detached three-car garage provides additional storage and functionality.
Whether enjoying a quiet morning coffee while taking in the tree-lined views, entertaining family and friends, or simply appreciating the privacy and tranquility of country living, the property invites a lifestyle that is increasingly difficult to find. This is a rare opportunity to own a legacy property in one of Atascadero's most sought-after westside locations.
Offered in as-is condition, ready for the next owner to make it their own while preserving the natural beauty, timeless character, and enduring appeal that made it a cherished family property for generations.
