Rare Garden Farms opportunity on 1.4 completely flat, usable acres with two separate residences. Tucked into the close-knit and highly coveted Garden Farms community between Atascadero and Santa Margarita, this property offers a country feel with easy access to Highway 101 for commuting to San Luis Obispo or Paso Robles. The neighborhood is known for its friendly, connected atmosphere, with regular community gatherings and a genuine sense of place. The property includes a 1956 two-bedroom, two-bath main home and a second two-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath residence converted from a Dunn barn in the 1980s. Both homes are currently tenant occupied and offer separate utilities, interior laundry and wood-burning stoves. The main home has been more recently maintained with newer flooring and paint, while the barn residence offers an opportunity for renovation and personalization. The barn residence is recognized as a dwelling by the Assessor's Office but is not recognized as a permitted dwelling by the Building Department; buyers are encouraged to conduct their own due diligence regarding use and improvements. The land is the real standout. The entire parcel is essentially flat, a rare find in Atascadero, and offers pasture areas behind both homes, mature trees, established landscaping, and apricot and apple trees. The property is fully fenced and has room for gardens, animals, recreation, or simply enjoying the space. Walnut Street provides the primary access, while additional frontage along El Camino Real provides convenient access to the rear of the property for animals, equipment, or other acreage needs. The two separate septic systems add flexibility, with the main home's septic system replaced in 2021 and the barn home's septic system pumped and inspected at that time. With two existing homes, fully separate utilities, usable acreage, and a location that combines rural character with convenience, this property offers an uncommon opportunity for an investor, contractor, DIY buyer, or house-hacker willing to bring vision and improvements to the residences.

Tucked away on a private 4+ acre lot, yet just moments off Highway 101, this beautifully remodeled home is the rare find that truly has it all. Surrounded by nature, framed by sweeping mountain views, and filled with modern upgrades throughout — this is the kind of property that stops you in your tracks. Drive across the private creek crossing and down a long driveway to a world that feels miles away from everything, yet is only minutes from grocery stores, gas, and dining, downtown Atascadero or Templeton, and 25 minutes to San Luis Obispo and the Central Coast beaches. Fully remodeled in 2022, and currently permitted as a short-term rental, the home features 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and a bright, open layout that blends comfort with style. The chef's kitchen shines with all-new appliances, generous counter space, and seating for up to ten — made for everything from quiet weeknight dinners to hosting a crowd. The living room anchors the main floor with an electric fireplace, creating a warm, inviting space to unwind. Upstairs, the master suite offers a plenty of room with a private balcony, and a spa-like bathroom with a deep soaking tub and separate shower — your own personal escape at the end of the day. Two additional bedrooms on the lower floor share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom and offer flexible space for family, guests, or a home office. These generous sized bedrooms and a dedicated laundry area that connect to a finished 3 car garage makes entertaining easy. Step outside and the property truly opens up. The fully fenced perimeter creates a private, secure retreat across all 4.2 acres. Gather around the fire pit, grill on the back deck, watch the kids play on the playground, or swing in the hammock beneath the trees while deer wander the property at dusk. An enclosed dog run, wraparound deck with dining seating for six, and wide open spaces round out an outdoor experience that's nearly impossible to replicate. With so much additional room it lends itself to possible future development. Private, spacious, move-in ready, and ideally located in the heart of wine country — San Ramon road is a once-in-a-while opportunity on the Central Coast.
