A rare opportunity to own a slice of Central Coast history in the beautiful Santa Maria Valley. Set on 5.6 acres of serene, usable land, this unique property features a meticulously maintained two-bedroom, one-bath home with approximately 1,600 sq ft of living space. Originally constructed in 1875 using old-growth redwood—sourced from the same supply as the iconic San Ramon Chapel—the home offers a blend of timeless craftsmanship and updated comfort thanks to a thoughtful 1950s remodel.Inside, you'll find warm custom wood flooring throughout the main living areas, while eco-friendly Marmoleum enhances the bedrooms and bathroom. The spacious kitchen is ideal for gathering and creating, complete with a private laundry room nearby. A cozy dining room with a picture window frames tranquil views of the ranch, and the expansive living room is filled with natural light, centered around a wood-burning fireplace that adds charm and comfort.Both bedrooms are generously sized, with updated lighting and finishes. The bathroom features a beautifully restored clawfoot tub—a nod to the home's historic character. Just outside, a detached bonus room awaits your imagination: a perfect space for a home office, art studio, guest retreat, or personal hideaway.Adding to the ranch’s appeal is a seasonal creek that meanders through the property, enhancing its natural beauty. Beyond the creek lies a large open expanse ideal for dry farming, livestock grazing, or planting a boutique vineyard. A 40-foot hoop house supports gardening, seed starting, or year-round produce cultivation, and the adjacent tack room provides convenient storage for tools, gear, or horse equipment.The possibilities are truly endless—build a second home or ADU, create a multi-generational compound, establish a horse training facility, or simply enjoy the peace and seclusion this private ranch offers. A private driveway leads to the home, creating a sense of arrival and privacy while still offering quick access to town.Located just off the scenic Foxen Canyon Wine Trail, you’re minutes from some of the region’s top wineries, yet a world away from the bustle. Recent upgrades include a new roof (2021), newer water heater, fresh interior and exterior paint, fumigation, bathroom plumbing updates (2019), and improvements to both the septic system and private water well.This is more than just a home—it’s a peaceful, historical retreat with space to dream, create, and grow.
