About this home
For buyers who value space over convenience and privacy over proximity, this California Valley property offers approximately 5 acres and a thoughtfully established rural homesite. Developed from the ground up by the current owners, the property spans two adjoining 2.5-acre parcels, with the home and established improvements on one and a separate undeveloped parcel offering added flexibility for future use.
The 2005 Energy Star-rated manufactured home offers approximately 1,377 square feet with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Inside, the open living and dining area is filled with natural light and centered around a double-sided fireplace shared with the second bedroom, currently used as an office. The primary bedroom sits privately at the opposite end of the home and connects to an adjoining flex room that could work well as an office, reading room, fitness space, nursery, or creative studio. From there, step outside to the covered rear porch and take in the surrounding hills, mature landscaping, and wide-open setting.
Outside is where this property really separates itself. Years of thoughtful improvements have created a functioning rural homesite with established garden areas, a family orchard, mature trees and landscaping, fenced acreage, multiple outdoor spaces, and room for animals, hobbies, or small-scale agriculture. Additional improvements include a detached bonus room connected by a breezeway, a 40-foot storage container, a rammed-earth root or wine cellar, a covered trailer with a separate, owned solar array and its own septic system, and an above-ground pool.
The property is supported by a strong private well, septic system, propane, grid power, internet availability, and a leased solar system with the lease payments prepaid in full. Maintained dirt-road access provides year-round access.
Set in California Valley near the Carrizo Plain National Monument, this is a part of San Luis Obispo County known for expansive skies, open grasslands, spring wildflowers, wildlife, and a sense of space that is increasingly difficult to find closer to town. It is rural by design, making it especially well suited for buyers who value acreage, independence, privacy, and room to create.
This is more than a home on acreage. Much of the hard work of establishing a rural property has already been done. The next owner gets the opportunity to take what has been built here and make it their own....
