Surrounded by a park-like landscape of 121 mature oak trees, this exceptional 3,467 sq. ft. Australian Queenslander-style residence sits on more than nine stunning acres overlooking the Santa Lucia Mountains, rolling hills, and Paso Robles wine country. Offering rare privacy while remaining just 3.5 miles from downtown Paso Robles, minutes from the 101 freeway, and 25 minutes from the beaches, the estate delivers a lifestyle that feels real, grounded, and deeply connected to the land—perfect for morning coffee on the veranda, exploring the property, or envisioning space for horses and future outdoor uses. A circular driveway framed by towering oaks and a custom fountain creates a memorable arrival, leading to approximately 2,300 sq. ft. of covered veranda ideally positioned for watching breathtaking sunrises and unforgettable sunsets. Inside, the home features repurposed wood flooring, 8-inch baseboards, and 10-foot ceilings, creating a warm, refined atmosphere filled with natural light and authentic character. The grand living room opens through three sets of paned glass doors to peaceful oak-filled views. while a spectacular 2,500-bottle walnut wine room and adjacent study elevate both entertaining and daily living. The chef’s kitchen—anchored by birch cabinetry, walnut/marble/granite countertops, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, and a Viking range and hood—flows seamlessly to the dining room and expansive veranda, making every meal part of the wine-country lifestyle. The private owner’s suite features a cozy fireplace, vinyl plank ceiling detail, 12-inch crown molding, and a spa-inspired bath with travertine finishes, a jetted soaking tub, and a generous walk-in closet. A separate guest wing offers three bedrooms, a central bonus room, and a Jack-and-Jill bath, ideal for extended family, guests, or vacation-rental income. With usable land, equestrian potential, and endless lifestyle possibilities—combined with a fully turnkey, high-demand dog boarding business on-site included in the purchase price—this property is as functional as it is beautiful, creating one of the Central Coast’s most extraordinary residential and income-producing estates.
