Oak Brook Ranch is a 552.58-acre recreational paradise nestled in the scenic hills of California’s Central Coast, just 10 miles from Santa Margarita and an easy drive to San Luis Obispo, Paso Robles wine country, and nearby beaches.
For the recreational hunter, Oak Brook Ranch is a hidden paradise. The varied terrain and natural cover support healthy populations of upland game birds — especially quail — as well as wild pigs and deer. Whether you’re an avid outdoorsman or a weekend enthusiast, the ranch offers exceptional private hunting experiences in a peaceful and secluded setting.
Originally purchased in 1976 by a retired Air Force pilot and stockbroker raised on a Wisconsin farm, Oak Brook Ranch was created as a haven for family, recreation, and a deep connection to the land. At its heart is a 1980 Spanish-style stucco hacienda with five bedrooms and three baths, offering a spacious footprint and classic architectural charm. While the home would benefit from updates, it provides a solid foundation for personalization or future improvement. A double-wide caretaker’s residence adds functional support for operations or guests. Additional amenities include a swimming pool, spa, tennis/basketball court, and a solar array that provides supplemental power.
The property is well-equipped for ranch life and recreation, with a barn featuring a saddle room, two horse stalls, corrals, a shop with a tool bench, and a large bay for equipment. Miles of 4WD backcountry roads traverse the diverse terrain, ideal for horseback riding, hiking, hunting, and exploring wide-open vistas.
Water infrastructure includes a well producing 10–12 GPM, two 5,000-gallon storage tanks (with room for more), and multiple winter catchment reservoirs that support seasonal grazing for 50–60 stocker cattle. A gated entrance with keypad ensures privacy and security.
Offering a rare combination of scale, seclusion, and potential, Oak Brook Ranch is a legacy property where land, lifestyle, and long-term vision converge — in the heart of California’s Central Coast.
