Property Description
Experience the rare opportunity to own one of Paso Robles' most exceptional legacy properties, 216+/- acres of pristine, usable land located in the heart of the highly sought-after west side along scenic Vineyard Drive. Once the private retreat of a renowned actor, this iconic estate offers an extraordinary blend of natural beauty, rich history, and unmatched amenities.
Privately nestled among gently rolling hills and expansive pastures, the property is dotted with ancient oak trees, mature walnut trees, and natural flora, creating a peaceful and visually captivating environment. Designed with versatility, the land is fenced for agriculture and features multiple water sources, including reservoirs and seasonal creeks.
One of the most distinctive aspects of the estate is its private airstrip and two aircraft hangars-a rare and increasingly difficult feature to replicate, offering direct aviation access for effortless arrivals and departures.
Improvements on the property are both abundant and thoughtfully positioned. The 5,022± sq. ft. main residence serves as a private sanctuary, with the entire upper floor dedicated to a primary suite that overlooks the surrounding hills and vineyards. The 1,129± sq. ft. guest house includes a wine cellar and game room, ideal for entertaining. A separate 1,126± sq. ft. manager's quarters offers flexibility for staff, multigenerational living, or rental income.
Additional structures include barns/workshops, equipment storage and horse stalls, making the property well-suited for equestrian use, ranching, or other agricultural endeavors. The land's topography and soil also lend themselves well to vineyard development, especially given its location within the renowned Templeton Gap AVA-known for its coastal breezes, and ideal growing conditions.
The ranch is also enrolled in the Williamson Act, helping preserve its agricultural heritage and offering substantial property tax advantages.
Whether you're seeking a serene family compound, a working ranch, a destination-worthy wine country retreat, or an aviation-accessible legacy estate, this property offers a rare combination of character, functionality, and natural splendor.
Surrounded by world-class wineries and just minutes from the acclaimed tasting rooms, restaurants, and boutique shops of downtown Paso Robles, this one-of-a-kind offering must be seen to be fully appreciated. Schedule your private tour today and discover the soul of the Central Coast.
