A generous and secluded gem, this late mid-century “Sea Ranch” style retreat property will transport you to the sensation of Big Sur. Designed and built by the visionary owner, the parcel includes a guest house, detached garage “barn,” pumphouse, and 1940’s (est.) greenhouse with glass panes. The main house has open beams, metal work by local artisans, library loft. The detached wing includes primary bedroom with en suite and also has an extraordinary upstairs studio with custom plumbed darkroom. The exterior of the structures is clad with sugar pine shakes. The guest house has an open frame ceiling, with original wood flooring and charming loft area, and includes a ¾ bath. The 50-foot heated lap pool and expansive lawn areas, are remarkable highlights. Cerro San Luis Mountain frames the horizon to the west and the Santa Lucia Range to the east. The bordered and terraced garden sections, with repurposed concrete edges are an oasis for your green thumb. Glorious established fruit trees include fig, plums, and citrus varieties including lemons, mandarins, oranges, and lime. All this delightful peace and privacy is within the Anholm district, and less than a mile to the heart of downtown San Luis Obispo. Abundant area for onsite and off-street parking. Location is also ideal for access to sought-after schools, proximity to recreation and open space. Per owner, main house and bedroom wing have 2638 sq ft, guest house has 744 sq ft.
