Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1978, this 46-year-old home features some cosmetic updates including laminate flooring and granite kitchen countertops, but remains largely dated. The presence of popcorn ceilings, older window styles, and painted original cabinetry suggests a renovation age of 15-20+ years. While functional and move-in ready, it requires modernization of systems and finishes to meet current standards.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 91476, living area = 1729.
The property features over 2 flat, fully gated acres, providing rare flexibility for equestrian use, hobby farming, or the addition of an ADU in a highly desirable Mesa location.
Equipped with its own private well and approximately 4,000 gallons of water storage, the estate offers a level of self-sufficiency and utility that is a significant asset for rural-residential living.
Built in 1978, the home may require additional capital investment to modernize older systems or aesthetic elements to fully match the premium $1.3M price point.
At 1,729 square feet, the interior living space is relatively modest compared to the massive lot size, which may feel undersized for buyers seeking a larger estate-style residence.
Rare Arroyo Grande Mesa ranchette offering space, usability, and flexibility on just over 2 flat, fully gated acres. Set on one of the most functional lots in the development, this approximately 1,729 sq. ft. single-level home features a wide-open floor plan, three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a rural-residential setting ideal for buyers seeking room to spread out. The spacious primary suite includes its own walk-in shower and upgraded vanity, while the two additional bedrooms share a full bathroom. The open living, dining, and kitchen areas create an easy flow for everyday living, entertaining, and enjoying the indoor-outdoor lifestyle that makes the Mesa so desirable. Outside, the property is where the opportunity truly stands out. The flat, usable land is well-suited for equestrian use, animals, gardens, equipment, storage, or future improvements. An existing horse corral, private well, and approximately 4,000 gallons of water storage provide a strong foundation for a more self-sufficient Central Coast lifestyle. With this much usable acreage, there may also be potential for a workshop, expanded garden area, hobby farm setup, additional storage, or an ADU, subject to buyer investigation and applicable County approvals.
