Ten-plus acres on a quiet ridge above the Bradley hills, with the hardest part already done. A well is in and the 4,000-gallon storage tank conveys, so the expensive first question on raw land is answered before you start. From the ridge the views run west and northwest across open oak-studded ranch country to the Santa Lucia range, and the ground opens into a graded bench on the ridge top. A graded road already crosses the parcel, and access runs by recorded 30-foot road and utility easement. Mature live oak canopy along the north slope gives shade and privacy you cannot plant into a place. Power is not connected and the well runs off a generator today; utilities are in the area. Minutes from Lake San Antonio and Lake Nacimiento, under an hour to Paso Robles wine country. A recorded scenic easement affects portions of the parcel. Buyer to verify zoning, utilities, septic feasibility, well yield and building requirements with Monterey County.
