SELLER MAY BE WILLING TO DO SELLER FINANCING FOR THE RIGHT BUYER. Welcome to 8888 Carrisa Highway -- a rare and remarkable 40-acre ranch estate in the heart of California's Central Coast countryside. This property is a canvas for your vision: a sprawling retreat for those craving privacy, purpose, and room to grow. Tucked into the rolling hills just outside Santa Margarita, this one-of-a-kind property offers a unique blend of functionality and freedom. At its heart is a thoughtfully designed barndominium-style residence, offering modern comforts within a rugged, character-rich shell. Whether you're envisioning a full-time residence, a weekend ranch, or a self-sufficient homestead, this space is ready to adapt to your lifestyle. The home is accompanied by an oversized shop and working barn, perfect for storing equipment, housing livestock, or converting into creative space. The surrounding land is fully usable and versatile -- ideal for horses, cattle, farming, vineyard projects, or simply enjoying wide-open skies and total tranquility. Existing pens, pastures, and infrastructure are already in place, saving you time and investment. With agricultural zoning and vast acreage, the possibilities are endless. Build out a second residence, start a working ranch, explore agri-tourism ventures, or live fully off-grid. The setting offers incredible privacy, yet you're still within driving distance of Santa Margarita's quaint downtown, San Luis Obispo amenities, and wine country.
