About this home
Wind Dance Estate is a rare multigenerational offering set on approximately 40± acres in the heart of Avila Valley, one of the Central Coast’s most desirable coastal locations. Properties of this scale, privacy, and versatility are seldom available so close to Avila Beach and downtown San Luis Obispo. Thoughtfully developed over decades, the estate blends architectural depth, water resources, agricultural productivity, and lifestyle flexibility, all framed by sweeping panoramic valley views.
The main residence offers approximately 5,500± square feet of architecturally rich living space with a thoughtful separation of public entertaining areas and private living quarters. Features include a stone wood-burning fireplace, a light-filled glass conservatory for year-round indoor–outdoor living, an open kitchen with distinctive ceiling detail, a richly paneled library, studio, handcrafted cabinetry and counters, cherry wood finishes sourced from a single lot, tall, angled ceilings, a sculptural staircase, and multiple connections to outdoor living areas.
Designed for true multigenerational living, the estate includes an attached yet fully independent secondary residence of approximately 2,928± square feet with 3 bedrooms and 3 baths, plus a downstairs bonus room. This residence features a private entrance, high ceilings, skylights, expansive windows, bedroom lofts, and a private deck with peaceful wildlife and night-sky views.
Additional living spaces include a 1-bedroom, 1-bath apartment of approximately 1,100± square feet above the main residence’s five-car garage, and a studio-style apartment of approximately 960± square feet above the barn, ideal for guests, caretakers, or creative use.
The land is both beautiful and productive, featuring established avocado and olive orchards, gardens, and open acreage well-suited for farming and livestock raising. Outdoor amenities include a resort-style pool and spa, a tranquil koi pond and waterfall, and curated art installations and sculptural elements throughout the grounds. Rolling hills, eucalyptus groves, redwoods, ocean peek views, a designated wildlife corridor, and a dark-sky environment complete the setting.
Water resources include a private well, storage tanks, rainwater catchment feeding a lined pond, neighborhood water rights, and grid-tied solar, supported by a multi-use barn, farm shop, and estate-scale infrastructure....
