About this property
A Beautiful Setting to get away from Urban Life and Recharge
Secluded beautiful studio apartment with everything you need. Bring some food and your favorite beverage, and you will be set. The outdoor area is over 2000 sq. ft. with a smoker, grill, and fire pit. Great wineries like Justin, Halter Ranch, and Tablas Creek are within a 25-minute drive.
Our home is powered by one of the largest home solar plus battery projects in California with an onsite microgrid. Great area for hiking and mountain biking.
You will enjoy entertaining on the deck with an outdoor kitchen and spa that offer amazing lake views. For wine enthusiasts, there is a hobby vineyard featuring Cab and Merlot varietals on approx. 2/3 acre. Bring all your toys because there are two 5-acre easements for lake access located nearby.
We have a large floating dock that you can tie your boat to, fish off of or enjoy some swimming.
OTHER NOTES
-The property is very secure with fencing and a security gate.
-There are multiple outdoor-only cameras on the property that are clearly visible.
-The studio apartment is on the 2nd floor. It is a wide stairway but does require climbing a flight of stairs for access.
-The apartment is in a separate building from our home, but it is on the same property as our home.
-The property is rural; we highly advise planning to arrive during daylight hours. It is very difficult to navigate the rural setting for the 1st time after dark. Most guests have no difficulty once they have made the trip for the first time. NOTE: Access is available at any time of arrival, but owners may not be reachable for assistance via app or phone after 9:30 pm.
-The property is roughly 45 minutes from Paso Robles, the nearest urban center. There are no gas stations or grocery stores after you leave Paso Robles. Please come prepared.
-If bringing a boat or trailer, please call or message. There is plenty of parking space, but due to recent weather events and ongoing road repairs. Please call us for a current update, and we are happy to provide updates and provide assistance with lake directions, etc.
-Boating on Lake Nacimiento requires appropriate boat stickers, licensing, and mussel inspections. Guests bringing boats are responsible for compliance. Please feel free to contact us with questions.
-Fishing on Lake Nacimiento may require a fishing license, it is the guest's responsibility to comply with all licensing requirements.

About the host
Hosted by Mitchell Samuelian
Judy and I moved here in 2021 and have been updating the property ever since. We have beautiful landscaping, a vineyard, a Koi pond, and an extensive solar system powering everything, including our well.
We both work in the renewable industry as executives, so are able to work from home when we are not traveling.

Why they chose this property
Rural communities have a strong sense of community because we often have to pull together to help each other since even simple things like grocery or hardware stores can be relatively far away.
We enjoy the friendships and community we are a part of. We love that we can see the stars (there is no light pollution), that we know our neighbors, and that there is always a project to work on.
The Lake is a wonderful bonus, and being able to spend some downtime relaxing on our dock or out on the boat enjoying the beautiful weather our areas offers helps us recharge.

What makes this property unique
The entire property is 13 acres and is in a very remote setting. There is a full kitchen in the apartment, full access to an outdoor kitchen, and a separate grill on the dock, but there are no take-out or delivery options. You can genuinely forget the rat race exists. The Hilltop Retreat is in a separate building from our home. We have a small vineyard, our own dock on the lake, and spectacular views. We respect our guest's privacy, but we have also made some new friends and shared a glass of wine on the expansive deck.
