This $18 Million Equestrian Estate Sprawls Out Over 100 Rolling Acres in California

Sustainable farming and geothermal hot springs are just two of the highlights of California’s vineyard-laced town of Paso Robles, about half way between San Francisco and Los Angeles. The sprawling vineyards and lush estates that spread out over rolling hills of the coastal wine region have also been known to entice names like former Super Bowl champ Terry Hoage, who recently placed his 26-acre property in the area up for grabs at $7 million. A nearby equestrian estate, just south of the city, offers substantially more land and a wealth of amenities with a much higher price tag of $17.9 million. Eric Haskell of The Agency holds the listing.

Surrounded by wineries in Templeton, the compound comprises a spacious main villa and a guest house. It was originally developed in the 1880s, according to the listing, and sprawls out over 108 acres with extensive equestrian facilities. For training and events, the 89,000-square-foot arena keeps your galloping companions on point alongside a 15-stall barn and a hay barn. The pool house and summer kitchen, meanwhile, are the ideal spots for owners and their guests to take a load off after swimming in the dark-bottom swimming pool.

Eight bedrooms and 12 bathrooms are spread across the estate’s 13,800 square feet of living space. The roughly 10,000-square-foot main residence spans two stories with luxe details like Venetian plaster walls, handmade Spanish tiles, and travertine-paved patios that give it character. A spiral staircase greets guests in the foyer, which leads to the formal living room. Exposed wood beam ceilings seen throughout the home start here and extend into the kitchen, which sports stained blue cabinets; a more saturated take on the color is splashed across the walls in the formal dining room.

Other appealing touches include a fresco across the ceiling in the foyer and a wrought-iron staircase that anchors a sitting area. And for entertaining, there’s a wet bar and, of course, a wine cellar. The primary suite is found on the second floor, with both its bedroom and en-suite bath offering access to a private balcony overlooking the sunlit landscape.

In addition to the 2,300-square-foot guest house and a poolside cabana with a sauna and steam shower, the property offers a 1,500-square-foot modular home for staff. Equestrian facilities range from the barns and training arena to a storage and tack room to several 5,000 and 10,000 gallon water tanks for well-hydrated herds, while a variety of birds and pollinators are drawn to the fruit trees that surround the house.

Templeton is a 15-minute drive to Paso Robles, which keeps you in close proximity to the area’s 200+ wineries, including JUSTIN and DAOU Vineyards , and a slate of acclaimed restaurants, including the Michelin-star-awarded Six Test Kitchen .
