Located on the corner of Santa Rita rd and Sunrise Ridge road, discover 31.77 acres of peaceful, oak-studded beauty along the scenic Santa Rita Road corridor—perfectly situated between Templeton wine country and the Pacific coastline. This rare Oak Ridge Subdivision parcel (Lot 5) features a private well, rolling topography, and two exceptional building sites that capture long-range views across the surrounding hills. The upper site offers a sunny, level meadow bordered by mature oaks and framed by panoramic vistas—an ideal location for a custom home or retreat. A second building site sits tucked into a natural bench of the hillside, offering a sheltered, private feel beneath the canopy of moss-draped live oaks. Both areas provide excellent southern exposure, natural beauty, and the quiet sense of seclusion that makes Santa Rita Road so desirable. The land itself is a blend of classic Central Coast terrain: grassy openings, gently sloping ridges, wooded draws, and shaded walkable trails beneath dramatic old-growth oak trees. Wildlife is abundant, and the property’s Mediterranean climate is enhanced by this area’s unique coastal-influenced rainfall pattern—greener winters, cooler summers, and thriving vegetation. Located just 25 minutes from the Pacific Ocean and equally close to the conveniences of Templeton, this parcel strikes the perfect balance of coastal living and wine country charm. With quality neighbors, paved road access, and the natural layout for a dream homesite, this is the kind of acreage that rarely becomes available. Build now, hold for the future, or create your ideal getaway—this 31.77-acre Santa Rita Road property offers beauty, privacy, and opportunity in one of the most coveted rural settings in San Luis Obispo County. El Monte is not an accurate location but legal name per county tax records.
