Here is an impressive and rare 74 acre ranch retreat with usable land - country living at its best. If you are looking for open spaces, privacy, a comfortable home, farmable land, and the freedom to live life your way, this is it! Located in the rolling hills just outside the historic town of Pozo, this versatile property offers a well-maintained ranch-style home, enhanced with its gorgeous contemporary addition. With a front patio, back deck, and grassy garden area, you’ll enjoy the peaceful rhythm of country life from sunrise to sunset. The land is already entirely perimeter-fenced - perfect for horses, cattle, or farming. A utility out-building adds storage and flexibility, while a productive private well and two water storage tanks provide many options for your use of the property. Massive oak trees and native vegetation attract abundant wildlife, including black-tail deer and even elk. Whether you're an outdoors enthusiast or simply enjoy a morning coffee with nature as your backdrop, this property may be for you. While the ranch feels wonderfully exclusive, you’re not far from adventure and amenities. Just a few miles down the road is public access to Santa Margarita Lake with boating, fishing, hiking, and camping. Even closer is the town of Pozo with its well-known saloon, newer winery, and also the Los Padres National Forest, along with the popular Pozo-La Panza OHV recreation area. When it’s time for shopping, dining, or a taste of local culture, the amiable town of Santa Margarita is only 16 miles away. The city of San Luis Obispo is just beyond, offering everything from jobs and healthcare to concerts and farmers markets. There are over 250 wineries within an hour’s drive. This property is ideal for buyers looking to escape the noise and congestion of city life without the work of a high-maintenance home. With high-speed WiFi available, you can work remotely while enjoying total peace and privacy. Come see if this ranch is just right for you.
