NOTICE: Before scheduling a TOUR, we ask that you complete our RENTER PRE-SCREENING QUESTIONNAIRE at the end of this description to ensure a good fit. Thank you! ABOUT OUR NEEDS: We are seeking a qualified renter with proven ranch or farm-life experience to live in our single family home on a 196 acre off grid property in the Irish Hills of San Luis Obispo. Our family will be traveling for work, and we need someone capable of basic land stewardship, including occasional heavy lifting and maintaining the road and property. If you have not lived off grid or worked on a ranch or farm before, this home will not be a good fit. We want to set clear expectations upfront to ensure the right match for both sides to ensure an enjoyable experience. ABOUT THE PROPERTY: As you make your way to the cabin, your adventure starts with your journey up a ~2.7-mile dirt road [Note: 4WD or AWD high-ground clearance vehicles recommended]. In a matter of minutes, you'll find yourself surrounded in the most beautiful landscape on the coast that sets the stage for complete relaxation. Oak, Sycamore and laurel trees cover the open road to this tucked away sanctuary in the mountains. It truly is the central coast's Secret Garden, as the plush green ecosystem is well known for breathing life into all that come and visit. As a rental guest, you'll get to experience many of the friendly animals on the property - deer, foxes, wild turkeys, lizards, and a variety of birds such as the red-tailed hawks, blue jays, hummingbirds, sparrows, woodpeckers, robins, finches, and great-horned owls. Although minutes away from local attractions and adventures of the beach and downtown SLO, guests will have the unique experience of true seclusion. Amenities: 1. Cabin Roughly fourteen hundred square feet of modern mountain lodging. The cabin offers sleeping for a maximum of 6 (Master Cal King; Guest Bedroom - Queen Below, and Cal King Loft Above; Living Room Day Bed). 2. Go Explore the Town - We're close to local favorite destinations within San Luis Obispo County - See Canyon Fruit Ranch (3 mi), Kelsey See Canyon Vineyards Live Music/Events on Weekends (3.4 mi), Sycamore Mineral Springs Resort & Spa (5.7 mi), Avila Valley Barn (6.1 mi), Avila Hot Springs (6.4 mi), Ontario Ridge Hiking Trail (6.4 mi), Bob Jones Hiking Trail (5.5 mi), and Avila Bay Athletic Club & Spa, Avila Beach Resort Golf, Concerts & Festivals (7.4 mi), Downtown SLO Farmers Market on Thursday's (13 mi). 3. Bring the Entertainment Outdoors (Day and Night) Our deck area has been set up to entertain and build fond memories. With thought of comfort and relaxation, we wanted every inch to enhance the experience the property provides, while aiming to be a functional extension of the cabin. And because we enjoy what the evening brings, we carefully brought lighting into our design. As the sun sets, remote activation transforms the property into a landscape lighting ambiance while still giving guests the experiencing of connecting to the moon and stars above. We very much look forward to the right rental party who has the required experience and enjoys life in rural lands.
