About this property

Luxury home on 400 Acre Ranch

Custom built English Tudor style home located on a 400 acre ranch. This secluded ranch borders Cal Poly State University property and is situated 2.3 miles from Highway 1 on a part paved/ part all-weather gravel road. The house has 4 bedrooms and 3 baths and sleeps 8-10 with a king, 3 queens and 2 twin beds. It has hardwood floors and granite counter tops. The kitchen is fully equipped and has an adjoining sitting area where guests can relax on a couch, enjoy the expansive view and chat with the chef while he or she prepares meals. The library is stocked with an eclectic collection of books. The home has high speed satellite internet access and good cell phone reception. There are 2 SMART TV's connected to a satellite dish which provides premium channel programming. The living room, with its mahogany paneling, leather couches and piano arrayed before an enormous fireplace, is reminiscent of a British gentleman's club or hunting lodge. Outside, the patio and garden have ample seating with both a wood-burning Santa Maria style bbq and conventional propane grill for your outdoor cooking experience. There is an outdoor fire pit is ideal for roasting hotdogs, marshmellos or just sitting around the fire under the stars.

Mike, one of the owners' sons, and his wife, Surika., livesin the stable building located approximately 100 yards downhill from the main house. They are happy to answer questions or help guests with any problems that may arise during their stay.

Guests are encouraged to bring their hiking boots and binoculars. The ranch is surrounded by rural Cal Poly property with its extensive system of dirt roads on which one can literally bike or hike for miles. For a more adventuresome and secluded experience, guests are welcome to explore the ranch itself which is home to deer, turkeys, coyotes, raptors and other native animals and birds. Those energetic enough to hike to the top of the ridge above the house will be treated to a spectacular view of Cal Poly and San Luis Obispo in the valley below and the Pacific Ocean ten miles distant.

Whether you are visiting this area to sample its world-famous wines and restaurants, to explore its pristine coastline or simply to relax and unwind, you'll be glad you selected the Stenner Creek ranch as your home away from home during your stay.

CAVEAT:
The house is located at the end of a 1.5 mile dirt/gravel road. While the road is maintained by the county, it can get bumpy and as such, its not ideally suited for guests with low-clearance vehicles. Guests with such vehicles will need to drive slowly and carefully.
Also, because it is a two story structure with stairs, the house is not well-suited for guests with mobility issues.

About the host

Hosted by Chuck Kirschner

Host profile image

Our family has lived in San Luis Obispo since the mid- 1950's and we purchased this ranch in the early 1970's. After retiring from his medical practice, our father built his dream house on the ranch and moved there to raise British White Park Cattle. We have decided to offer the property as a vacation rental because of its unique character and ideal location near the City of SLO.

Why they chose this property

IF YOUR GROUP SIZE EXCEEDS 10, THERE IS A SECOND VACATION RENTAL ON THE RANCH THAT IS RENTED SEPARATELY FROM THE MAIN HOUSE. CHECK IT OUT!
VRBO LISTING NUMBER 1875593.

What makes this property unique

The single most striking aspect of the property is the serenity one experiences while there. The only sounds you're likely to hear are the wind in the oak trees, cawing crows, squawking bluejays, the occasional scream of a hunting red-tail hawk , maybe a coyote in the evening and the distant sound of a train as it makes its way up or down Cuesta Grade. The outside world feels very far away even though, in reality, the City of SLO is just a short five minute drive away.
