Monthly Estimate* How much can I afford?

Rare Garden Farms opportunity on 1.4 completely flat, usable acres with two separate residences. Tucked into the close-knit and highly coveted Garden Farms community between Atascadero and Santa Margarita, this property offers a country feel with easy access to Highway 101 for commuting to San Luis Obispo or Paso Robles. The neighborhood is known for its friendly, connected atmosphere, with regular community gatherings and a genuine sense of place. The property includes a 1956 two-bedroom, two-bath main home and a second two-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath residence converted from a Dunn barn in the 1980s. Both homes are currently tenant occupied and offer separate utilities, interior laundry and wood-burning stoves. The main home has been more recently maintained with newer flooring and paint, while the barn residence offers an opportunity for renovation and personalization. The barn residence is recognized as a dwelling by the Assessor's Office but is not recognized as a permitted dwelling by the Building Department; buyers are encouraged to conduct their own due diligence regarding use and improvements. The land is the real standout. The entire parcel is essentially flat, a rare find in Atascadero, and offers pasture areas behind both homes, mature trees, established landscaping, and apricot and apple trees. The property is fully fenced and has room for gardens, animals, recreation, or simply enjoying the space. Walnut Street provides the primary access, while additional frontage along El Camino Real provides convenient access to the rear of the property for animals, equipment, or other acreage needs. The two separate septic systems add flexibility, with the main home's septic system replaced in 2021 and the barn home's septic system pumped and inspected at that time. With two existing homes, fully separate utilities, usable acreage, and a location that combines rural character with convenience, this property offers an uncommon opportunity for an investor, contractor, DIY buyer, or house-hacker willing to bring vision and improvements to the residences.
