San Luis Obispo County, California

Nestled in the hills of the Central California Coast, this private slice of heaven is yours to call home for a while. Though you’ll feel totally secluded with only deer as your neighbours, you’ll be just a fifteen-minute drive from Pismo Beach, fourteen minutes from Arroyo Grande, twenty-six minutes from the town of San Luis Obispo and surrounded by excellent wineries on all sides.

Santa Cruz County, California

Surrounded by hiking trails, golf courses, and stretches of Pacific coast, this home in Santa Cruz not only has an enviable location, but it’s bursting with the potential for plenty of memories made. The backyard, alone, has a private swimming pool, tiki bar, and a swath of green turf that the kids will love running around on – especially when they’re hiding from the dinosaur.
