5 Central Coast Estates, Ranch Acreage, and Oceanview Land

From its elevated setting in the heart of Los Olivos, this offering spans three separate legal lots totaling approximately 3.49 acres, blending downtown proximity with a distinctly rural sense of calm. The premier upper parcel—about 1.49 acres—holds an impeccably maintained residence built in 1967, with four bedrooms and two bathrooms, newer windows, and a double-sided fireplace that anchors both the living room and family room. Step into the family room and out to the back porch, carefully positioned to capture mountain views and overlook usable land with room for future possibilities. Two additional parcels, each roughly one acre, broaden the options, including a lower lot with an orchard along Grand Avenue. Set within the Los Olivos School District, it’s a place to savor town life and return home to open space.

Surrounded by 1,537 acres just 15 miles from Coalinga, this ranch along Highway 198 is designed for days spent outdoors and nights returned to comfort. Well-maintained roads thread through the property, complemented by multiple access gates that make moving between areas simple and flexible. A reliable water supply fed by natural springs supports the land’s everyday needs, while abundant wildlife—including elk and deer—keeps the landscape lively. Thousands of acres of accessible Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land nearby extend the sense of open-ended exploration, and the setting also offers strong potential for cattle grazing. After a long day, a comfortable 2 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom home provides an easy retreat, with large and small storage sheds plus a spacious barn for equipment and supplies. Wide, far-reaching views close the day on a memorable note.

Set along the scenic Foxen Canyon corridor on the Foxen Canyon Wine Trail, this private Central Coast estate is designed for slow mornings, lingering dinners, and easy multigenerational living. A thoughtfully reimagined residence unfolds in two distinct wings, balancing connection and privacy, with wood-lined ceilings, exposed beams, French doors, and dual wood-burning fireplaces lending relaxed European warmth. Indoor-outdoor life flows naturally to expansive entertaining areas, where a cedar plunge pool overlooks canyon views and a bocce court sits among nearly fifty fruit trees. Wine-country character is deeply woven in, from a temperature-controlled wine cellar with 1,000+ bottle capacity to approximately 1.63 acres of boutique vineyard. Above the garage, a separate guest studio/ADU offers independent accommodations, while converted barn spaces and a temperature-controlled art studio add flexible room to create, work, or host.

On a quiet cul-de-sac in Santa Maria, Le Chateau de Amore brings a French sensibility to everyday living, with five bedroom suites, five baths, and five fireplaces throughout. The primary suite adds its own fireplace, creating a private retreat within the home. At the center, a custom gourmet kitchen is designed for serious cooking, anchored by a La Cornue Grand Palais 180 with rotisserie in solid copper, plus Sub-Zero appliances, two warming ovens, and a Miele built-in coffee system. A temperature-controlled private wine room supports effortless entertaining, while a theater room with a wall-size screen invites unhurried movie nights at home. Comfort details include a whole-house air purifier and AC in the bedroom wing. Outside, a pool and spa are complemented by an outdoor bathroom for seamless days in the sun.

Along the water’s edge in Carmel Highlands, Spindrift offers a rare one-acre setting between Highway 1 and the Pacific Ocean, with the kind of view that turns a simple breakfast into a daily ritual.

With Carmel Valley just five miles away, everyday conveniences and a change of scenery are close at hand, while Point Lobos State Park sits within easy reach for afternoons shaped by shoreline trails and open horizons.
