Welcome to this charming single-level home set on a 2.8-acre ranchette in desirable southeast Atascadero adjacent to Santa Margarita. A gated driveway entrance leads to the fully fenced property, offering privacy, security, and excellent potential for horses, livestock, gardening, or simply enjoying wide open space and country living. The flat, highly usable land provides ample room to expand with an ADU, barn, horse stalls, workshop, or other outbuildings to suit your needs. The home features a well-designed floor plan with beautiful views of the ranch from nearly every window. Oak hardwood floors run through the entry, hallway, and kitchen, adding warmth and character. A formal living and dining room sit separate from the kitchen and main living areas, providing flexible spaces for everyday living or entertaining. Vaulted ceilings in the family room, living room, dining room, and primary bedroom create an airy sense of space and natural light throughout the home. The kitchen offers granite countertops, a center island, and a bay window overlooking the backyard, pool, and pasture, creating a bright and welcoming gathering space. The adjacent family room features a cozy wood-burning stove, sliding glass doors to the backyard, and a unique built-in 90-gallon aquarium with direct water and drain connections. Down the hall is the spacious primary suite with another bay window overlooking the back of the property. The ensuite bath includes a soaking tub, glass-enclosed shower, and a generous walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms, a shared bathroom, and an office space complete the interior layout. Outside, the property offers a fully fenced pool area, open pasture ready for horses or other livestock, and a charming garden space with multiple large raised planter beds tucked along the side of the home; perfect for growing vegetables, herbs, or flowers. The attached two-car garage includes washer and dryer hookups. Ideally located just 12 minutes from San Luis Obispo, this well-loved property has been comfortably lived in and offers a wonderful opportunity for a new owner to update, repair, and bring their vision to life while enjoying the rare combination of usable acreage, privacy, and single-level living.
