    What's special

    Set on five private acres just minutes from downtown San Luis Obispo, this gated estate offers a rare combination of privacy, panoramic views, and convenience. Elevated above the city, the property captures sweeping vistas across San Luis Obispo and the surrounding foothills while remaining close to Edna Valley wine country, dining, shopping, and recreation. Designed to embrace its setting, the home is filled with natural light and oriented toward the views from nearly every major room. Cathedral ceilings, expansive windows, and multiple terraces create a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. The thoughtfully designed floor plan balances privacy, flexibility, and connection to the outdoors. The primary suite occupies its own wing of the home and features a dedicated study, dual-sided fireplace, walk-in closet, and flexible bonus room with direct outdoor access. Three additional bedroom suites each open to a balcony, terrace, or patio, while the separate guest suite features its own kitchen, full bath, private balcony, and wall of windows overlooking the surrounding landscape. Three fireplaces throughout the home add warmth and character, and elevator access provides convenient access between levels. The family room and kitchen flow naturally to the outdoor entertaining areas, where an outdoor kitchen, southwest-facing pool, and spa overlook rolling hills, open skies, and evening city lights. Mature trees and the property's elevated setting create a sense of seclusion that feels far removed from town, yet everyday conveniences remain just minutes away. Additional features include owned solar, central vacuum, RV hookups, automatic gated entry, fire sprinkler system, well, and a septic system with recent clearance. Few properties offer five private acres, panoramic views, and a location just minutes from downtown San Luis Obispo. 1854 Sydney presents a rare opportunity to enjoy the privacy and tranquility of a hillside estate without sacrificing convenient access to the amenities, recreation, dining, and wine country that define the Central Coast lifestyle.
