COMMENTS:
Simply the most beautiful and well located large ranch holding in the California Central Coast. Location, Location. Location… approximately three hours between San Francisco or Los Angeles, with easy access to Interstate 5 to the east and Highway 101 or Hwy 1 to the west.
In addition, you are a short 25 minutes to the wonderful town of Paso Robles with its Norman Rockwell atmosphere, as well as, some of the best wine, fine dining and wine tasting in California.
Paso Robles is home to the California Mid State Fair at the Paso Robles Event Center plus numerous year-round equestrian events, wine tasting, Cattlemen’s Western Art Show and many other local events. Paso Robles has a great general aviation airport and world-class dining. Within a short drive are the great little coastal towns of Cambria and Morro Bay, as well as Hearst Castle.
The ranch is located near the summit of Vineyard Canyon Road, which begins in the little town of San Miguel in Northern San Luis Obispo County. As you leave the numerous rolling vineyards dotting the Paso Robles hills and begin your drive up Vineyard Canyon Road, you will be amazed at the gorgeous alfalfa farms which give way to horse and cattle ranches and then the amazing tall pine and oak trees as you approach the summit.
This ranch has literally thousands of trees including several species of oak trees (live oak, blue oak, white oak, valley oak) as well as wonderful old digger pine trees and the beautiful cottonwoods.
This unusual and completely private ranch offers such a variety of topography. From the various hill tops on this huge oak studded ranch, you are treated to a dramatic backdrop of the coastal mountain range, as well as the gorgeous Black Mountain and Saw Tooth Mountain Ranges. There are many amazing and tranquil meadows hundreds and hundreds of oaks and pines, seasonal ponds and a year round creek.
Add to all of this the fact that the great climate make this an ideal cattle and horse ranch. The grazing season is long due to the perfect location at the top of the canyon, catching just enough coastal influence and rain to extend the grass season as well as create a bit milder climate all year. The native grasses are predominantly wild oats, annual rye and barley and the wildflowers are just amazing.
The ranch is home to an abundance of wild life such as: black-tailed deer, wild turkey, wild boar, quail, dove, mountain lion, bobcat, coyote, badger and such and there have been many bald eagle sightings.
One additional note of interest is the fact that this ranch is just around the corner from the quaint little town of Parkfield, population 18. You step back over one hundred years in this great little town with its one room school house, great café, rodeo grounds, small motel, and the CDF & USGS buildings. No market and No Gas station, but a great local gathering place and seasonally host to large events such as the Parkfield Rodeo, the Blue Grass Festival and many ranching and other activities available at the V6 Ranch.
