Description

Perched in the rolling foothills of southern Monterey County, this 80.37± acre property in Hidden Valley Ranch captures sweeping views of the Santa Lucía Mountains, Sapaque Valley, and Lockwood Valley. Consisting of two separate legal parcels within the gated Hidden Valley Ranch Owners Association, it combines privacy, natural beauty, and a peaceful rural lifestyle—enhanced by its off-grid setting for those seeking independence and self-sufficiency. The landscape is naturally diverse, with elevated ridgelines, open meadows, oak woodlands, digger pines, and stands of manzanita. Seasonal headwaters for Copperhead Creek and a Turtle Creek tributary wind through the land, creating low-lying areas—ideal habitat for native wildlife and perfect for exploring. Panoramic views stretch for miles from several vantage points on the property, and the topography offers a mix of usable land, quiet seclusion, and multiple potential building sites. With Monterey County Rural Grazing (RG) zoning, the property supports a variety of agricultural and recreational uses. Existing improvements include a private water well, an older livestock barn, and other ranch-style features. A rustic structure tucked among the oaks offers potential for future use with some cleanup, vision, and creativity. This setting lends itself to many possibilities—from recreational retreat to homestead or grazing operation. With wide-open space, big-sky sunsets, and the stillness of nature all around, this is a special place to experience as much as to own. Positioned as one of the first parcels inside Hidden Valley Ranch, the property enjoys relatively easier access compared to others deeper in the subdivision—an added benefit along this remote, unpaved stretch of Copperhead Road. Located near Lake San Antonio, Fort Hunter Liggett, Lake Nacimiento, and Paso Robles wine country, this region is known for its recreation, natural beauty, and star-filled skies. Whether you are looking to build, create an off-grid retreat, or invest in California’s Central Coast, this 80± acre property provides space, flexibility, and a truly inspiring setting.
