This most exceptional property on the central coast is now available as a short term vacation rental for the most discriminating of guests. There's nothing like this property on the central coast and it's nearly impossible to duplicate the old world magnificence of estate.
FallingWaters is conveniently, yet privately located 1 mile from Vineyard Drive at the Gateway to over 100 world class wineries of the Central Coast's Templeton and Paso Robles wine regions. A short 5-10 minute drive has you within reach of over two dozen tasting rooms. There is overnight availability of 3 BR/2.5 BA/2,500 sf.
The home is lovingly furnished in simple, yet elegant country motif with numerous "rural" antique touches such as spinning wheels, barber's chair, sewing machine end table, and other period memorabilia. In addition to the area's numerous wineries, you can spend a week here and only scratch the surface of the central coast's offerings: You are easily within 20 to 30 minutes of nearby lakes Nacimiento & Santa Margarita, the charming beach towns of Cayucos, Morro Bay, San Simeon and Cambria, countless ocean and beach activities, magnificent Hearst Castle, the historic downtowns of Templeton & San Miguel, the jazzier downtowns & nightlife/shopping of Paso Robles and San Luis Obispo, limitless hiking and nature gazing, horseback riding, and just plain unforgettable scenery.
FallingWaters is a unique and very special 5 acre retreat. This is not your typical vacation rental home and you'll know why the moment you experience it. It's a retreat with a serenity to be respected and appreciated by guests who are searching for something out of the ordinary. Relax, fish, read, listen to and view nature in your backyard paradise, walk the grounds, bike or walk the lovely adjoining roads, hike the unending surrounding mountainside.
The property is located in the heart of Templeton and Paso Robles wine country. It is situated near a seasonal creek and has a unique combination of water features including a 1/2 acre fishing pond, a Koi pond, and a small waterfall which directs a stream under the home and emptying into the koi pond in the backyard.
From the moment you enter you are surrounded by serene waters, viewed from almost every room. Natural scenes of wild-life surround you daily: Ducks, catfish, dozens of bird varieties, eagles, egrets, hawks, frogs, deer, and more make this their occasional home.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2007
I'm a long term resident of San Luis Obispo county who enjoys all the charms of outdoor living.
Why the Owner Chose Templeton
This property is located on a country road that goes from Templeton to the coastal town of Cayucos. It is well known to bicyclists and folks on a run, walk or leisurely cruise. From the moment the gate opens one is pulled into a feeling that only the magic of nature and the unique English cottage architecture can create.
The Unique Benefits of this House
One of the benefits is finding seclusion in a country setting while only 5 minutes from town, local markets, restaurants, community park , wineries, coffee shops and more. And for those who are content being in a pocket of nature without running around for activities you will discover peace and calm can be attained in one spot.
